The Official Mega Man 9 Topic

[XJ]

Aw, damn, I had the coupon too.  And thanks, Mikey.

MM9 is all fake! Just a rumor from RPM!

The MM9 is a lie? Well, ALL YOU KNOW IS A LIE!

[ASR]

I know nothing! So, nothing is a lie! Which means everything is the truth! And now I know that! So... gah!

[Mikero]

Pair a docks!

[ASR]

[Mikero]

Have someone taking a picture of you throwing a pear at some ducks. And make a new meme.

[ASR]

I still have this one, too.

If I had a picture of a pier covered in ducks, I could use that. I could easily get a picture of a pier covered in SEAGULLS, but that clearly won't help.

[XJ]

Congrats, you just won the "Best Pictures at 11:44 and 11:48 EST" award.

[Morgan Guyer]

Game of the Year.

[Panda]

Win.

[preventerWIND]

WAT?

[Chron]

Okay, that is awesome.
I want it to be the box art.

[preventerWIND]

I want to know where the hell that came from.

[ASR]

Haha, I like it.

[XJ]

All hail the mighty Morgan Guyer!

I love how Wily is some sort of unhelmeted Darth Vader with hair and an eye thing.

And Mega Man has his buster AND his gun.  God, Wily is screwed over now.

Edit: Amazing what a little MSPaint can do.

[ASR]

Yeah, the fact that he's holding a gun and he has a buster is what made me laugh the most. Also, Wily just looks ridiculous.

[XJ]

Ah, classic Mega Man, where one look at the "box art" is enough to produce a smile.

Anywho, the whole MM9 excitement that was in me last night is starting to die, as I don't have any current-gen consoles.  I should save up $250 just to get the Wii to play this.

[Morgan Guyer]

I want to know where the hell that came from.

Apparently, it's from Capcom and IS the "boxart" in T-Shirt form. Only and handful of them exist.

"According to Capcom's reps, only the company's internal people have managed to finish both stages. So, I had pride on the line and stuff. I asked if I could have one of their amazing MM9 "box art" T-shirts if I won -- it's truly a thing of glory, with badly-airbrushed Mega Man, a cyborg Dr. Wily and even the classic Capcom first-gen-NES grid background -- but alas, only a handful exist and belong to the game's internal staff. I pressed on regardless. Behold, the fruits of my labor!"

[ASR]

So somebody there has a sense of humor.

[preventerWIND]

Wow, thats excellent, I wasn't expecting this much. I mean, even in the MegaMan 1 and 2 boxart Wily didn't look like that.

Still awesome though.

[ASR]

Reading up on it, this was apparently just made for the shirts some Capcom booth attendants wore at E3 to promote MegaMan 9.

[XJ]

That's the best thing they've done in years.

[Pluvius]

They have to plan on selling those. I mean, they would sell, & it can't be a bad business move.

[XJ]

Only true Mega Man lovers would understand it.

"What the hell is that on your shirt?"

"Awesomeness."

[Vinchenz Rock]

On Playstation Network, when you buy games it has a boxart.

I hope they use that picture as the boxart. Either way, I'm probably going to buy MM9 on my future-existing PS3.

[NovaMan XP]

I'm getting it on Wii. 360's D-pad sucks ass compared to the Wii Remotes AND the Classic Controller.

[Fatso]

Classic Controller's dpad is the best in the current generation.

However, it still doesn't hold a candle to the REAL best ever, the SNES pad.

[NovaMan XP]

I don't know if someone posted this already, but here's more vids from E3 from someone who DOESN'T suck at the game.

[Vinchenz Rock]

Classic Controller's dpad is the best in the current generation.

However, it still doesn't hold a candle to the REAL best ever, the SNES pad.

Classic Controller feels weird for games like MegaMan 9 and Wiimote turned sideways feels awkward no matter what.

Unless I can somehow get that SNES classic controller that few people ever owned in Japan, then I'm going with the PS3's controller, which is the next best thing.

[Fatso]

That disappearing-block puzzle over the spikes looks particularly nasty.

I think I just died a little inside.

1UP: I'm excited that the game is being created by IntiCreates, who made the Zero and ZX games. Those were actually very challenging games -- much harder than the classic games in my opinion -- but they really get what makes Mega Man good. Are they bringing some of the design concepts and innovations of the Zero and ZX games into MM9 to make it more contemporary and challenging?

MM9 is on Gamespot live right now.

It's finished.

It was good.

No charge shot, no slide.

That's the kind of cancer that game companies are pandering to.  That person knows nothing of good game design.  It's only slightly better than the types bitching becasue MM9 is 8bit.

[Chron]

That quote says Zero and ZX are much harder than the originals.

Kids these days have no idea what they're talking about, do they?

Ugh, I dunno about this.

I'm REALLY hoping you can at least unlock "Mega Man C"

[ChaosVortex]

Yeah. No charge shot? No slide? That's just practically Mega Man 1 and 2 all over again. Doesn't sound like a sequel at all.

[ASR]

It sounds like the right step.

Save for the missing slide. I like the slide.

[ChaosVortex]

Yeah. But I'm still saddened by the missing charge shots.

But slide is like...

... It's slide.

I wanna slide.

[ASR]

Me too. Me too.

[NovaMan XP]

I wonder if they'll give some weird explanation as to why MegaMan can't charge his buster anymore or slide.

Seriously, I think it's impossible to forget to slide.... also I saw small spots in the levels in the game where you can only get to by sliding.. and I saw items in there, so there HAS to be sliding... or a weapon like Boomer Kuwanger's in X1...

[Fatso]

Or Beat.

[NovaMan XP]

... Did Beat get items for you? I can't remember now.

EDIT: ZOMFG FATSO HAS AN AVATAR!11!!!1

[Fatso]

I've never seen Beat used to get items before, but it wouldn't be out of the question I don't think.

And yes, I thought it time to move on.

[preventerWIND]

Well its about time lardass!

[Mikero]

I still have this one, too.

If I had a picture of a pier covered in ducks, I could use that. I could easily get a picture of a pier covered in SEAGULLS, but that clearly won't help.

It is NOT pronounced paradogs.

It is NOT pronounced pieradox.

You ARE trying too hard!

[Vinchenz Rock]

It is NOT pronounced pieradox.

Yeah, but its a pair of docks.

[Mikero]

Read the post I quoted, please.

Well, someone is being a Serious Susie...

[Mikero]

It IS pronounced Serious Suzanne!

[XJ]

He did NOT say Suzanne.

What you MEANT to say was Suzie.

You ARE being too serious, Mr. Mikero.

[ASR]

[XJ]

A. Ninjas are serious.
B. Mikero is serious.
C. Mikero is a ninja.
