Mega Man 9 new info

[Press_Start]

A friend of mine is incredibly pissed off due to this unscrupulous measure of extracting more money from gamers' pockets. I'll admit it's rather rotten, but... I wonder, is it enough reason to boycott the game overall?

Trust me, the game alone was well worth the price.

I've mostly viewed extras as a sign from developers of their dedication to the game and to its fans. Putting a price on that questions if that extra mile was motivated for its sake or for money.

How many blocks does Mega Man 9 take up? I'm running a little low so I guess it's off to the old SD Card for Super Castlevania.

[NayusDante]

I don't believe it takes very much. The download was REALLY fast.


Take a look at this:



Just leave it like that and power-ups just drop down. Fill your bolts, lives, weapons, etc. Who still thinks this game is hard?

66 blocks. Which is funny because though I don't know how much a block actually is that's about three times as much as the average NES game on the Virtual Console. In fact, it's larger than most SNES and Genesis games on there.

Great game, great ending.

*SPOILERS START*

Anybody catch the familiar schematic in the background in the ending? Odd they would show that like he wasnt built yet, when it clearly shows the old man begging 9 times for mercy. Maybe some of those are the GB titles?

*SPOILERS END*

Anyway, best 10 bucks Ive spent in years. It recaptures MM2's magic handily.

UGHHH! I seriously can't take it! I got to Wily's last form! This is NOT fair! I had to use all NINE energy tanks AND my M tank just to get there, leaving me with nothing left.... GAAAAAAHHHH....

[Famidrive-16]

So, I just beat Galaxy Man first. Who should I try next?

[ShinobiMan]

I hear you man, that damned castle kicked my ass. I now have to go back and gather more bolts to stock up on energy tanks again. I had no idea Wily had 4 forms, so I used my tanks prior to the final form, when THATS the time you want to use them! Oh well, guess I'll have to go through this bloody castle again.

4 forms? Don't you mean 3?

Splash Woman drops rather quick (not with the Black Hole, though). Just keep to your timing and she'll be a cakewalk. Then show off her trident to ol' Concrete.

[ShinobiMan]

4 forms? Don't you mean 3?

Yeah, that's what I meant. Good catch!

[ShinobiMan]

I Just beat the game. Now that's what I call a challenging boss fight. Make sure you have a decent supply of energy tanks before fighting Wily.

It's been a long time since I've felt this accomplished winning a game. Thank you Capcom for bringing back those old feelings. Here's hoping this one sells well enough to warrant a Mega Man 10.

Now I'm looking forward to the 360 version so I can apply my skills towards some rankings and achievements!

[Famidrive-16]

So what's the secret about the bubble jumping pattern on Splash's stage? I'd totally own this place if it wasn't for this frikkin thing.

edit: nvm, just figured it out.

[SpaceHarrier]

This game is a bastard, but it's such a blast! Galaxy Man stage and boss are so easy compared to EVERYTHING else! It's fun though. I believe it is fun through its simplicity..

Now, can we get a Megaman X sequel in the SNES style?

[Mayhem]

So, I just beat Galaxy Man first. Who should I try next?

Jewel Man. He loses his protection and takes some decent damage from the black hole gun...

[VG_Maniac]

Does anyone know what the "Costume" you buy in the shop for 200 bolts does? (it's the item that looks like Roll's head). I bought one, and I can't figure out its purpose.

[NayusDante]

It changes Roll's outfit to her MM8 one. For another 200, you can change it back. No, she doesn't change into "hot, older Roll."

[Sabz5150]

You have now ensured that nobody will drop the 200 screws for that.

[Cobra Commander]

You know what gets me? Why does the game over screen have to be so damned cheery?
It's like, "You just lost again you asshole. Why don't you try a couple dozen more times champ?"

[exit]

Got this game almost right after the store updated, which was earlier than usual. Well so far I'm satisfied with the game, but also a little disappointed with a few things, it's nothing I can't look past tho.

I understand they wanted to model the game after Mega Man 2, but it felt odd hearing the Game Over tune playing in the main menu, it just doesn't fit at all. They also ripped the stage intro music from MM2 as well, which again kind of annoyed me, it would've been great to hear a more updated 8bit version of it. Also, why the hell did they take out sliding? There are some parts that warrant sliding (I noticed one immediately just seconds in Plug Man's stage) and it can really mess you up when you do it as a reflex.

Again these are things that I'll get over probably by the end of the day, so it's really not anything that matters in the end. Other than that it's a great deal for $10 and I'm looking forward to what Capcom will come up with next.
