Mega Man 9 has finally been revealed. It's a Wiiware title that IS in 8-bit done by creator Keiji Inafune. Here's some scans:    The robot bosses in this one have the worst names in any Mega Man game though: Magma Man Galaxy Man Jewel Man Concrete Man Hornet Man Plug Man Tornado Man Splash Woman (first female boss) Seriously, Inafune. What in god's name were you smoking? |

.................................
NO. WAY.
There has to be something else to it. Seriously. I can't believe they're making it pure 8-bit.

Plug Man.
God yes.
I am laughing so hard at this moment.
Also, there's an article about it in the next / latest Nintendo Power.
EDIT: Which was made obvious by the pictures. >>;

What in god's name were you smoking? Good question. Not to mention that Inafune has finally become unoriginal with RMs with the inclusion of a female RM. I mean, sure, in some Mega Man games there have been female bosses but never a female RM. What Inafune should've done was use 8 contest winner Navis from the BN series and remodel them into RMs for 9. Sadly, we get these guys... and girl. |

I would've paid quite a lot for sexy awesomeness of Numberman, Gateman or Thunderman, but this is just ridiculous.

Hmmm... for 8-bit, the rendering looks good. A bit better than Megaman a in MMZXA.
But, as for the bosses, I can still accept Magma Man & Galaxy Man, but Splash WOMAN?! Now, either that's just pure coincidence or Inafune-sama's also a fan of Atomic Fire...... I'm talking about Splash Man, the mod from AF.
Now, 2/8 just depresses me. I think the only thing that would make me like this game is if it contained uber amounts of Duke Devlin Zero & the other awesomeness who is Duo. Please make Duo unlockable! *crosses fingers*

......Wait a minute...
I just realized that they're giving us Cosmoman's Classic counterpart here. Maybe one of the others will surprise us as well...?

A quick made sell out game, done with cheap, easy to produce sprite work. I'll pass.

......Wait a minute... I just realized that they're giving us Cosmoman's Classic counterpart here. Maybe one of the others will surprise us as well...? No they aren't. Except you're going to say that Clownman is Circusman's and Coloredman's classic counterpart and Astroman is Planetman's classic counterpart. Which is not the case. Galaxyman is, like all other introductions, a new RM. And actually next to Magmaman, Tornadoman and Jewelman the only acceptable one, although I think that Crystalman is not going to like the latter. And Airman and Windman aren't amused either. |

Some Navis that COULD (IMO) be in MM9 -Cosmoman (Although Galaxyman should be close enough, and Galaxy > Cosmo, in term of name coolness) -Videoman! -Like Fay: Numberman -Blastman -Elementman -Gateman -Groundman -Eraseman (now THAT would be cool) -Judgeman Of course, that's only suggestion. Also, I see Medi as a new ally as well  |

Ground Man was already in Megaman 8, and as we all know, only 2 Robot Masters deserve to appear in more than 1 game... The Almighty Tengu Man & Astro Man.

Dr. Wily's most powerful creation! I'd actually rather have Planetman than Cosmoman, but that's me. Also, Thunderman Is not amused to be replaced by Groundman. |

Not fond of Tenguman, and Astroman already appeared in Megaman & Bass

Astroman already appeared in Megaman & Bass That's why I said that only they have the right to appear in 2 games. 1 in MM8 & The other in MM&B. Not to mention Ground Man's a nuisance in MM&B that I'd rather not have him in 9. And as if him being a nuisance wasn't enough, his weapon was more or less useless except against Tengu Man. If ever Ground Man showed any signs of being awesome, it would be his Mega Chip & Cross in BN6. |
