I wish that I had more to say about this video, which shows the first official footage of the much-discussed Mega Man 9, but so far all the rumors have been true. The game is adopting an 8-bit aesthetic, and it looks like it will control much the same as its NES counterparts.
The only new thing I noticed here was our hero riding a spinning cylinder, but it doesn’t look like it has anything to do with some full-blown feature or any kind of evolution of the old formula. Some are already speculating that the WiiWare game will sell as low as a paltry ten dollars. For now, I can’t say that I’m really excited, as the original 8 games in the classic Mega Man style were more than enough for me.

Well you know, it really says something that they are going with a certain aesthetic for the sake of aesthetic and not because of technological limitations. First time that has happened on 8bit!
I don’t know… it just seems like the lazy way out.
What next, they’ll remake megaman2 with those graphics? LOL
All jokes aside, i’ll probably still be buying this :p
Mega Man was fun. It be cooler if it continued the gameplay, but in boss battles things suddenly go into over drive and you lose sense of what the hell is going on. Sort of like in FF7 or MGS when you fighting then cut scene of an attack. But I agree with Desfunk. I’ll still be picking it up. I’ll occasionally watch the MegaMan cartoon on YouTube.
