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.

don,t you think that would be kinda hard to notice on a what

What? This is not the Megaman 9 I've been waiting years for. Oh well, Megaman is Megaman regardless of the 8-bit visuals. I'm sure it'll be interesting.

I'm old and elitist, Megaman is Megaman only with 8-bit visuals.

Castlevania does have a sort of Kingdom Hearts/ Dissidia style about it; I'm pretty skeptical about how it may turn out but I'm at least hopeful it could be decent. Kind of wish Namco and Konami did a bit of role reversal here though as SC: Legends probably should have been a fighter and CV: Judgement should have been adventure oriented. SC:L kind of sucked the big one, so I'm hoping that CV:J doesn't suffer the same fate.

I'm far more interested in Megaman 9 and Arc Rising Fantasia. MM9 for obvious reasons, ARF (heh) because it's nice to see another decent looking RPG coming to Wii alongside ToS: Dawn of the New World, FF:CC The Crystal Bearers and Rune Factor Frontier and as an PoP: Eureka 7 fan I like the character art. :P Riz Zowad looks awesome, but I'll wait on videos to see how far the game goes. It definitely looks pretty for a DS game, but as wide as those open spaces look, I wouldn't be surprised if you're kept on a fairly short/linear path with very few chances to go off the beaten path. Then again, it is based on a story where a gang of do-gooders followed a brick layer path. :P

What the fuck did they do to Alucard?

seriously (Click to reveal)

I mean what were they thinking? Just look at my avatar for the comparison.

I'm looking forward to Megaman 9 though. I wasn't expecting the 8-bit, but I'll like it just for the Nostalgia.

Your avatar isn't exactly right, but yeah. The animey style sucks alot compared to their usual style.

Seriously, it takes balls to do what Capcom is doing with MM9 considering how most casual gamers will respond to this. Part of my respect for them came back because of this. 8-bit is were Megaman should be. I did like MM7 though, but I think 8 was an abomination. I hope we get to see Bass, and like Unguided said, that it bridges the gap between the regular MM series and the X series.

I'm really psyched about the new Mega Man game. It's been far too long since they had a good entry in the series. The 8-bit graphics are pretty awesome as well since I'm more a fan of the NES MM games than the newer ones.

Also that Castlevania game looks really horrid.

mm9 sounds pretty bad as does the castlevania game. After the terrible voice acting in mm8 im not sure if I want to touch another game in the series. Guess I'll just wait for them both.

I wasnt comparing the bad voice acting as a reason mm9 would be bad. And obviously theres no voice acting in the new one??

Ill elaborate and just say I really didnt like 8 as I did the others for reasons beyond the voice acting as well. I liked some of the old NES ones but they mostly were repetitve imo (except VI, which was my favorite).

Megaman really hasnt ever been something Ive heavily gotten into. I enjoy the X series alot more (although after IV it got terrible).

Hey, wow, that looks great so far! Definitely has an old-school look. I just hope that these new guys can nail the level design of the old games.

They've nailed (more or less) the music and some small details at least (those rotating lifts that likely have a gameplay gimmick to them where you need to time yout jump so that you are on the right side).

Just hoping they'll have shoulder buttons, or whatever Wii controllers have, assigned to swap weapons easily on the go.

Was the yellow devil the annoying boss that spun around in a tornado and reformed himself on the other side of the screen?

Yes, but he was also a pretty INNOVATIVE boss for a game that came out around 1989 or something.

Also someone said that its a bald move to make mm9 into a low-tech game but I'd guess the production costs to make this game are really low and the time they need to make this won't be as long as some full 3D game with all the latest eyecandy and audio +Theres a big audience that just loves this game already.

There was some pretty big topics over at 4chan about how MM9 is basically a romhack that Capcom is charging 10$ for.

Yeah, the retro graphics are nice and all, but it does seem like a little bit of a cop-out.

I still like it though!
