in that case splash woman will probably be a cute little moe girl that looks like roll (except with black hair) and she'll be wearing a bathing suit or something.

please remember this post because i will quote it in the future when the game comes out.

Splash Woman is a mermaid wielding a trident, as seen in this new trailer:

How is that supposed to help people???

After watching the trailer I have to say that I am raging at the fact that they brought back those stupid disappearing blocks.  I remember how long it took me to get past those things so many years ago.

Knowing Capcom's track record I can't see this being true for more than a year especially if it sells poorly.

Did you watch the video, Grunthor?  It says right at the end that it's being released on XBLA and PSN.  You should know better than to trust two week old Kotaku articles.

Tehehe, like the poster above mentioned, the trailer reveals that the game isn't Wii exclusive at all and will end up on both Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.
I'm guessing the price on XBL will be around 500-800 points. Can't possibly charge 1200 for a game like this no matter how new it is. Anyway, these news make me happy and I'm definitely getting this.

It's not Wii exclusive. I mean, the Megaman 9 trailer has Xbox 360 - Live Arcade and PS3 - PSN logos along with Wii - WiiWare logos

Mega Man 9 was priced in Japan at 1000 Wii Points ($10 US), I'd expect the other versions to have similar costs. 
Also, there's going to be additional downloadable content available (for a fee, of course).

I couldn't view the trailer when I posted that (fucking dial up).  So yeah, my bad.

I just realized I repeated what was already said. :(

I guess MM9 is a throwback to the old days. So much of a throwback that it's recreating exact screens.

Despite the initial impression people might get from this, for a game like this.... it actually takes more effort to copy something than to be completely original imo.

Whatever happened to Castlevania's wonderful old art style? Ever since That DS game they've been using some generic anime fanfare.

I'd agree for just about any other developer, but Capcom's got this shit down to a science by now.

aren't most CV characters the same archetype anyways? also alucard looks like sephiroth.

I can basically guarantee that that wii rpg will be a piece of shit if the luminous arc guys are working on it.

I'm not that into Megaman so I don't care much about that but it looks like a pretty huge copout.

and riz zowad just looks strange, which I guess is a good thing because it at least looks somewhat interesting. I can't help but get the feeling it will suck though.

there's never going to be another good game
pretty much, yeah
Anyway... I played a bit of this... And I'm not so fond of the setting. I hate that whole ghetto "gangsta fo life" thing, and I've never been much of a baseball player.
