I've been a Nintendo fanboy since my NES. I always took the SNES' side in the Genesis/SNES bit. and I had only the N64 for years. I then realized how great the PlayStation was considering Nintendo dropped the ball on RPGs and Fighting games. Quest64 and Fighters' Destiny? No thanks...
I still bought the GameCube at launch and the Wii a couple months after release. Both proved to be quality systems that held up and had games that I liked. But the influx of SHIT from Ubisoft and now Mega Man 9? I'm ready to admit that Nintendo isn't quite for me anymore. I still will support their big titles (I only don't have Metroid Prime 3 for Wii as far as big names go) but it seems that games like Game Party and other minishits collections have more IMPORTANCE than something like Animal Crossing Wii which Ive been waiting for for years. Don't get me wrong. I have NO problem with these titles selling and making Nintendo money. This is a business after all. I'm just disappointed and hurt that my Jappy game fix is coming from the Xbox 360. Considering how I was against the original Xbox and still think it a disappointment itself. Ubisoft admits to creating trash to sell on the Wii and Capcom's "Mega Man 9" is a slap in the face to people who, like me, have beenw aiting for Mega Man 9 to make a big splash in today's gaming market. But I mean LOOK at it. They're making it look a certain way just to do so. I'd rather they spend the time and money to update it to AT LEAST Mega Man ZX standards as opposed to having this silly gimmick of making it look like Mega Man V. The only thing I'm looking forward to from Capcom is Biohazard 5, because Street Fighter IV can suck my fucking balls. I'll make a separate entry for that in the future maybe. I support Nintendo as a company, but I'm really quite hurt at how lazy their developing schedule is. I want a good Mega Man 9 from them and Capcom, not this shit. I want Animal Crossing. I wouldn't mind a new Pikmin. And I'd like a Mario that was less mission-based, and more about getting from point A to point B. Any other kids of the 80's/90's in the same boat as me?

But your complaint about Mega Man 9 is silly. If you expected that series to ever "make a big splash" again, you were going to be sorely disappointed. The only people who are still interested in that game are people who played the originals and stuck with the series in spite of its massive failures and shortcomings over the years. By going back to a classic visual style and (hopefully) gameplay design, they're trying to appeal to the only people who give a damn anymore.
And the only "splash" I meant is FOR big Mega Man fans. The ones who realize X7 and X8 aren't canon. The ones who OWN mega Man Soccer just for the fact it's Mega Man.
But WiiWare Mega Man 9 is an example in not trying hard enough on QUALITY, and trying too hard to tap into people who played through 1-6. But there's a reason why they quit making games that look like that after NES 6 and Game Boy 5. Because it's what those systems were CAPABLE of. WiiWare is fully capable of a Street Fighter 2 HDremix kind of thing for Mega Man, and THAT is FAR more inspiring to me than "SEE? THIS LOOKS LIKE THE NES. PLEASE BUY."
Megaman 9 gonna be oldschool 8 bit? I'd rather see them go with some really detailed 2d or maybe a 2.5d.
That doesn't mean MM9 has to look like something Capcom developed for the NES then aborted in 1994. Trying to dress up a bunch of half-assed bullshit they quit working with 15 years ago. No I don't want their lazy excuse for a game. No I'm not amused by their NES throwback because they're fully capable of more than MAGMA MAN in a direct copy of Mega Man 6 software.
I think Mega Man 9 will be oool. Greatest game ever? Hardly. It will be an affordable, fun game. What the hell is wrong with that?
That's what's great about being a gamer today... Options. Choose one!
Stop whining. Stop complaining and stop crying.
Jiminy Christmas, man!
Not.
Sorry, guys!
No, Capcom doesn't have to make Mega Man 9 look like a NES game but nor do they have to make it dressed up in new visuals either. Mega Man 2 (or 3, depending on who you ask) is one of the finest examples of the 2D platforming genre in gaming ever produced. If they'd placed all the effort that they applied to making it more graphically appealing in the late X series into producing gameplay that balanced, challenging and fun, we'd be having a very different conversation about the continued existence of the series today.
You should play the Zero series, though. I'm not a fan of the "Cyber Elf" collection stuff in it but, if you like the first three X games, you'll probably enjoy this too.
I've thought about playing Zero and ZX. Never really got around to it though. Still would like a nice Legends 3. I guess I was wrong, last MM I played was Legends 2.
As far as MM9 being a small afforadable game. I suppose I can accept that if it's in the 10-15 dollar range. But for the enxt canonical installment to be a literal step backwards leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.
This really is about chaning one's taste in video games as you go through the generations.
OK?
So let's just wait until it's released. It looks like a hell of a lot of fun, and I'm not a big Mega Man fan. I will wait and when I buy it then I will blog on it.
Either way, let's not argue over something so silly.
Plus who's arguing? If you want to make a big deal out of it, be my guest but I have better things to do.
