DESTROY ALL HUMANS DESTROY ALL HUMANS

[NovaMan XP]

Though, Proto man's whistle isn't there either.

OBJECTION!

It's in it. Listen to "OLD SE" in the OST.

DESTROY ALL HUMANS DESTROY ALL HUMANS

"Hey baby, wanna kill all humans?"

Duo at least LEFT.

Yeah but it was a gay PF write-out they never really had him do anything even though he logically should have still been a least a bit important. And then they don't bother mentioning him ever again. I don't care at all whether or not he's in THIS game since he clearly left-at least for a while-but I'd rather see him not forgotten and wasted the way he was.

Read if you want or not. 

I was gonna do that anyway, you don't need to TELL me I have a choice, you're not my dad!

You've been criticising my posts for some time....

What's up wit dat!?

I wasn't serious...

Power Battles 2

Power Fighters. Or to be really nitpicky, MegaMan 2: The Power Fighters. It isn't important really, but it's also a whole other name so maybe it is a bit.


ANYWAY I'm sure Bass will be in the game, it only makes sense. I just want to see something with Duo in it that isn't a fighting game or the #####tiest Battle Network game in time, since I think he was a pretty wicked character and they could have played out some of the story with him a little more. I don't care for lots of plot in these games or anything, that'd be stupid, but I'd still like to go a little somewhere in each one.

[TheRedPriest]

I couldn't disagree more.  Duo is best left as a one off character.  He's really not any more engraned than the Game Boy MM Hunters.  Plus he was part of the whole Evil Energy bit that really just doesn't fit with the series and also had a hand in the whole "physial manifestation" Maverick virus #####.

[Mikero]

You're not wrong, what I'm really sore about is he just sort of left and it was all left untied and they never wrapped up what that was about. I more would like to see a conclusion to that story than the return of the actual character. Although he still rocks.

[Fatso]

Less than a week till release and I've finally come to another possible stumbling point: pre-boss dialogue. If they throw that in I might have to indulge in a little mindless slaying.

[Mikero]

I don't mind it as long as you can speed it up.

[NovaMan XP]

I bet if they do put it in it'll be like in MM4 with all the text appearing on screen, then you press A and all the next text appears right away, instead of scrolling text.

[Mikero]

As long as it's not like MM&B.

In this news update, it confirms that those MM9 Retail packages WILL be for sale.

You remember the Capcom Store, right?  You should:  it's the place where you're going to get your hot little hands on [MM9 Retail Package].

Also, they said those fake-boxart shirts will be available soon. So, let's keep our eyes peeled!

[Vinchenz Rock]

Hah, you made the first post there.

Posted on: 18 September 2008, 20:03:58

Huh. Capcom directly answered your question.

[NovaMan XP]

I don't have any money to spend for it... *sigh* I guess I'll never be able to get one. >_<  I might get the shirt though.

[ChaosVortex]

I want the fake retail package more than anything, and I can go for the shirt second.

I've got enough cash to get 'em.

[Mikero]

I'd much rather buy this retail. What is this Capcom Store business though? I better not have to order it.

[preventerWIND]

Theres no chance I can order this so it really gets to me. This is gonna suuuck.. I want that retail package and the shirt too.

[ASR]

Haha, they did directly answer my question. That makes me feel good inside.

Yeah, Mike, I'm pretty sure they're ONLY going to be available on the website. To the first 200 people to buy them. They'll probably be available for like an hour, max. Ugh.

If I don't get it, I guess I'll settle for the shirt...

[Morgan Guyer]

Yeah but it was a gay PF write-out they never really had him do anything even though he logically should have still been a least a bit important. And then they don't bother mentioning him ever again. I don't care at all whether or not he's in THIS game since he clearly left-at least for a while-but I'd rather see him not forgotten and wasted the way he was.

You know, I always say the same thing about Dr. Mikhail Cossack and Kalinka.

[TheRedPriest]

Cossack lives through Beat.  And Kalinka emails Roll every day!

Actually, if Dr. C would stop pounding vodka shots into the early morning maybe Capcom would let him back in.

MegaMan 9 is officially releasing on September 22nd for WiiWare, September 25th for Playstation Network, and October 1st for XBOX Live Arcade.

And I won't be able to play it until October 11th. #####.

[Vinchenz Rock]

Proto Man confirmed as a playable character!




...For 200 Wii points.

[ASR]

...ugh. The sad thing is, of course I'm going to pay for it. It's #####ing MegaMan 9.

But I don't appreciate them taking advantage of my wallet.

He should really just be an unlockable character. Ugh. Games have lost their way.

[Vinchenz Rock]

Playing as Proto Man also gives you the ability to slide and use charge shots.

[Xero]

Looks like I'm gonna need to get more Wii points.

[NovaMan XP]

HAHA! I have exactly 1200 Wii points! YES!

Although if anymore comes out I'll need more... >_<

[preventerWIND]

Me too, and I don't mind the DLC costing money, and so little money at that. MegaMan 9 is only like 10 bucks so I consider myself lucky.

[Vinchenz Rock]

HAHA! I have exactly 1200 Wii points! YES!

Yeah, I have the same amount.

I need to buy more Wii Points later... the only other Download I really want is the remixed music one.

[NovaMan XP]

I won't be surprised if they make Bass a downloadable too.

[Xero]

And he'll get Treble Coil, and Treble adapter.

[Vinchenz Rock]

Capcom explains why Megaman 9 is going to be hard.

[ASR]

Haha, that's funny.

[preventerWIND]

It being hard is a good thing, shows them FPS pseudo gamers whats what.

[ASR]

It had better ACTUALLY be hard.

Because for me, MM1-6 are no longer challenging, but that's just because I've played them over and over again.

So, basically, I just want to be challenge playing a MegaMan game again.

You know what I noticed? MMX5 and X6 are the only MegaMan games that ever still give me trouble, and it's not because they're hard... it's because they're cheap. Terrible level design led to, instead of well-designed challenges, just cheap mini-bosses and annoying areas.

I mean, Duff McWhalen's stage is the dumbest level ever in any MegaMan game.

[Mikero]

With the amount of times you guys say how easy the originals are for you know, you all might as well have XBox Live gamer profiles and the Facebook app for it too.

[ASR]

Like, I really hate the sort of people you're describing, but I can't really deny it.

I definitely remember when the Classic MegaMan games were so #####ing hard for me, and I've noticed them get easier every time I play them, until I can't watch anyone else play them or it pisses me off every time they die.

Posted on: 20 September 2008, 02:28:55

Oh, and great #####ing news. It turns out there IS a way to connect my Wii to the internet here, and I just never #####ing knew because I never looked into it!

So, Monday is still MM9 day for me!

[Mikero]

I'll get it whenever.

Like, I really hate the sort of people you're describing, but I can't really deny it.

My friend has that application, and it just pisses me off and makes me want a 360 less everytime he talks about his at all. And he's never been like that before so it's worse.

Uh, yeah. Super Mario Bros. was like that too. Yes, it was. It's just like everything else, practice makes perfect.

[ASR]

Yeah, I know. I know. Shush.

Anyway, more MM9 related goodies: reviewed on IGN with a score of 8.6.

There's also a video review that I'm about to watch.

[Morgan Guyer]

Oh lordy, this is going to be the longest weekend ever...

[Edgecrusher]

*laughs* Megaman sans-helmet FtMFW!

[ChaosVortex]

Yeah, I know. I know. Shush.

IGN is weird.

They gave Mega Man 2 on the NES a 7.8, but on the Virtual Console, it was a 9.5.

Anyway, Mega Man 9 sounds good enough to me.

[Johncarllos]

So, I have no internet for my Wii at college.

I'll have to bring it on a road trip...

I'm in Vermont right now.
Yeah.

I need to take advantage of the wireless internet at one of the hotels.

[Mikero]

I spent a week in Vermont one day.

[Morgan Guyer]

I spent a week Vermont one day.

<_<

[Mikero]

IN Vermont. See, it damaged my brain-space.

[Majikn]

I spent a week in Vermont for one day too. But I needed Mike's help to do it.

... Apparently you need a Barbie Doll to do it.

[Mikero]

I have no idea what that means, but Vermont is possibly the most boring place I've ever been, and I've been to my grandpa's.

[Majikn]

Haha Mike, even when you edited your post, it still says "I spent a week in Vermont one day."

Anyway that's what I was poking fun at. And I was referencing "Anything's possible with Barbie!" and I have no idea why I remember that.

[Mikero]

That was on purpose. It's a joke people do all the time. It means that the place is so dreadful and/or boring that a day feels like a week.

Jeez read a book!!

[Majikn]

I... read...

I figured you were either joking or made a mistake and I was joking about either way. But I figured the joke was "Haha, I did the impossible! Because I'm a ninja!" sort of thing. Nothing else even occurred to me.

[Mikero]

Yeah I noticed when typing it (the first time ¬_¬) that it could have that impossible connotation thing.

Also, I doubt that would be in any proper book anyway.

[Morgan Guyer]

Thank god I get mondays off from school...
