Megaman 9

As I've said before, they could have kept this 2D but they didn't have to give it NES graphics... what audience are they trying to appeal to anyways?

So, is this a new game designed using NES graphics? That's interesting, to say the least. I guess it will appeal to older gamers who want the nostalgia.

$10 isn't bad though, especially for something that's new, and not a remake. You can't just give out new games for free, businesses have to respect their investors.

*raises hand*

I dunno, I think it's an interesting idea...
Instead of making an old game with newer graphics, they make a new game with older graphics!
Video game nostalgia has been "in" for the past few years...

Mega Man has hardly benefited from new graphics anyways, the series has been on a steady decline since MM3 (and 2 is still by far the best)... What have they got to lose at this point?
If they can make and sell it for cheap, it might just catch enough people's attention to work...

And they might even make a really fun game... Mega Man 2 became one of my favorite NES games ever, and I never really played it until a few years ago...

My only question is... If they can fully re-make Bionic Commando with HD 2.5D graphics, new gameplay elements, new boss fights, etc etc... And sell it for $10-$15... What could they possibly ask for MM9 NES redux?

I just love the expression on his face as he jumps.


And I agree, Megaman was really awesome on the NES, and for the first 2 games on SNES, until they introduced all the new characters, and took away from the whole "Megaman" aspect of the game, and it just sort of became another Sonic.

I don't quite follow.
In which ways does it become another Sonic?

Focus on other characters?

Pretty much.
I just dislike when games like that, (Really - only Megaman and Sonic) try to appeal to new markets (usually a younger target that didn't grow up with the title) by putting in new "edgier" characters.

Like Poochy.

I guess it depends.
People say side characters ruined Sonic.
But in all honesty he hasn't been without a sidekick since the first game.
Granted, the influx of hedgehogs is pretty annoying as is his romantic interest.

Though gives me an idea for a thread.

It was fine when it was just Tails and Knuckles, but after that, it just became a Furry wet dream.
