Yep, these possibly confirm that the new Mega Man game is coming, is for WiiWare, and has 8-bit graphics. Apparently, there might be a female Robot Master as well.
I say possibly because these days, people are getting better and better at hoaxes. I still think it is absolutely true, however.
It's funny, I was realizing the other day how similar Clickers are to each other. Megaman, Wii, Goofballity... Yuppers! Found mah spot onz de internet!
This was a good way for them to avoid the whole Cataclysm thing (Where the Classic series ended and the X series picked up). Though I do wonder if there's going to be a Zero cameo in this game (Zero killed the first Megaman), maybe even an X cameo.
Maybe, not everyone does... but megaman does pop up alot on the boards, so enough do. It is officially confirmed. I would've loved this whether it was 8 bit or 2.5D. Rumors are that it has NOTHING whatsoever to do with the X series, and I'm inclined to believe them. Whoa, wait a minute-- you believe the cataclysm theory? O_o
Yeps, Mega Man X is far in the future, and Dr. Light is indeed dead. He has holograms hidden in the strangest places all over the world for X to get special armor upgrades.
I hope Mega Man 9 plays nice and smooth. And utilizes advanced new graphics techniques like parallax scrolling.
I dunno, I think the NES ones were the most recognizable. I don't recall MM7 (SNES) being in wide distribution, and I never actually got around to playing 8 (The X series was my Favorite at the time, though that's been replace by the Zero series). Capcom seems to be on a nostalgia kick lately.
I dunno. It is kind of odd. I would have rather had a 2.5D modernized one, but I'm cool with it. I liked the original series, but EXE was my favorite. (Don't kill me!) Yes, the screenie by blackbeltdude was fortunately fake.
