Mega Man 9 (2008)

edited July 2008 in All Encompassing Trip
So I've just read in a magazine about the Nintendo Wii releasing this on WiiWare soon (aiming for September). Am I excited? Fuck yes I am. It's NES style all the way--graphics, music, level design, enemies, traps, Dr. Wily...

BUT....and this is a BIG sexist but...they've added a woman as one of the eight robot masters.... LAME!!! Why after all these years (20+) do they have to change that? And it's so bad because it's seven men, and one woman. That is a sore thumb and seriously is making me think twice about this game. Stupid I know. I know they're gonna make her the most difficult to beat aslo which is really stupid since she's Splash Woman. That doesn't even sound right saying that in regards to Mega Man. Is there gonna be a Mega Woman playable character? God I hope not.

Other than that it looks good, but that little change is bugging me a lot.

    Emulator and d/l it to a memory card. Original version plays sweet.

    thats sweet! ive been saying forever they need to release more old school side scrolling games... this new technology is getting to be a lil much for someone like me, raised on the NES and SNES

    i dont have a wii yet but ill probably get one once theyre super cheap... especially if a new zelda game is announced for it (which in general is the only reason i keep buying the newest nintendo systems)

    I played the hell out of Mega Man 2,3, and 4. They were the greatest games ever. Ah to be young again.


    Hey BetterThanYou, is that PS2 Anniversary game any good?

    The Mega Man games were amazing to play. I think my favorite was 7 for the SNES.

    Some enemies throughout the series pissed me off so bad though, haha. Toad Man? God damnit, what lame ass tough enemy is that?

    I'm so glad we agree on this ;) There is Roll, but she's just some damsel in distress type so it doesn't bother me.
    I bet it's game over for Splash Woman when she breaks a nail.

    i loved it, until one of my kids scratched the hell out of it. it had all the original games on it, plus some of those "megaman x" games. i didn't get into the "x" ones, but all the other ones were the exact games, just on playstation instead of nintendo. all the same graphics, all the same characters, all the same levels, all the same music. it was fantastic.

    Nintendo really know how to beat a dead horse. They need to come up with something new instead of Mario / Zelda ect ect.

    i will NEVER be sick of zelda! that horse is very much alive... and its name is epona :D

    i see nothing wrong with perfecting a series instead of debuting a bunch of half-assed games like playstation always does...

    You are aware of the Wii game library, right?

    Ha exactley the Wii has just produced a bunch of crappy games that are tryin to fit this new 'gimmick' in. Most of the games are just awful but people buy into it just because you can have your arms around like a fly with one of it's wings broken off. Wii sports is the best the console has to offer IMO.

    no... i dont have a wii... is it a game about books?? i didnt mean to say nintendo doesnt release their fair share of shitty games too... they just have enough classics to fall back on... whereas PS has what? crash bandicoot? though obviously they also sometimes butcher those (mario sunshine, luigis mansion, that donkey kong bongo game, etc)

    Nintendo may beat dead horses, but honestly, Mario, Zelda, Mega Man, Metroid, etc., games are high quality. Now take Mario Party or Mario (insert sport here), and I'll say those should die because there's nothing new to offer.

    And by your logic, fuck Medal Gear Solid 4, Call of Duty 5 and Resident Evil 5! Those games look fantastic.

    As far as coming up with something new? How about the creation of games that are copied by any and everyone? Mario 1, 3, and 64 have been shit on by countless attempts, just as Mario Kart and A Link to the Past and several others. As far as I'm concerned, Nintendo has the most originality over any other platform. However there are countless shit games like Hannah Montana and anything based off a movie that I see littering the isles as well.

    Games/gameplay > Graphics to me.

    Sony's got a few franchises on the go now that they can fall back on - Final Fantasy, Grand Theft Auto, Resident Evil, Gran Turismo, God of War, Metal Gear, etc.
    None are as long-lived as Mario, granted, and exclusivity is getting rare, but all the console's have their franchises now.
    And they ALL pollute their libraries with a lot of filth. ;)

    @ Danny72688 - I agree, but there's only so far your graphics can take a dive before gameplay is screwed.

    AGREED! i would be content if everything went back to side scrolling SNES graphics as long as it still had a cool story

    final fantasy got its start with nintendo, no? i remember i had a final fantasy game for SNES... and resident evil and gran turismo are multi-platform games arent they? i see what you're saying though... i think X-box has one of the greatest franchises ever with halo... would've been cool to see that evolved out of the 16-bit era into what it is today... thats my favorite part of it... even if the stories have alot of similarities, its cool to see what improvements are made with each system...

    thats my problem with the gamecube > wii... not enough improvement... just the motion controller shit

    GameCube is pretty shitty, and the Wii is too. That is compared to Nintendo 64 and all that pre-dates that system. GC and Wii have a good amount of excellent games though. And I like the whole motion sensor deal, needs much improvement though.

    GC's downfall was marketing too much to the young crowd... maybe its just cause im growing up, but it definitely seemed like a very sudden dumbing-down... there was a handful of good games but pretty much every one of them was from one of the series we already mentioned... the best part of it was the controllers... fit my hands perfectly... oh and another thing that did them in was the mini-CDs instead of being able to play music and DVDs on it... i think the Wii is a step in the right direction, but i will wait for nintendos next system before i buy another from them... that is unless they release another zelda game that is Wii only (i was able to get twilight princess for the GC)

    Nintendo aims at family for the most part. That isn't to say there aren't any non-family games. No More Heroes, and Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles are two of my favorite games for the system. Mainly because of play control. Arcade style feel. That's what the whole home console stood for back in the day anyway. Bring the arcade home. That's a big part of why Rock Band and Guitar Hero are selling like hotcakes, they are arcade style games. Replay value, skill level, getting enveloped in the game...

    The Wii also does not support CD/DVD play. But, I bought a Wii to play games so I don't give a fuck :D

    Pretty much.
    The Wii is the only one I'm not really into. I like some games but not enough to justify getting the system.
