So after reading how you are going to be able to turn on old-school flicker and glitches in Mega Man 9 purely for nostalgic effect, I came up with some other things they should add to heighten the "Nostalgia Factor" some:
1.The game would make you sit through episodes of The Super Mario Bros.Super Show,Captain N, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before you could play if you were to cut it on at 3:05.
2.I think this has been mentioned already, but a cartridge peripheral that you would have to blow into before the game worked would kinda kick a little ass.
3.The option to have to put tape on the power button to keep whichever system you are playing it on ON.
4.A year's subscription to Nintendo Power OR Diehard Gamefan.Preferably Gamefan, because they had all the cool Japanese shit you hadn't heard of before.
5.A big-ass black dust jacket to stick whichever your console of choice is into.
6.An option to have your controller just wig the fuck out for no reason, with Mega Man sometimes moving by himself, or the buttons doing nothing at all, to simulate all that Kool-Aid you spilled on your NES controller.
7.The option to have the game not work at all if you don't have a peanut butter jelly sammich and one of those little barrel shaped drinks that had the foil top you had to peel back or it would fuck your lips up sitting on top of your console.
8.Saying the words "That Endendo is gonna tear up My TV" will make the game automatically cut off.
9.The Option to swap Mega Man 9 with a friend,only to never get it back. Powering up the Wii subsequently gets you fussed at by a woman who sounds like your Mom.
I think Capcom should consider at least ONE of these, I mean if they are taking the time to add flicker,I at least want my free subscription to a defunct videogame publication. Couldn't hurt.

These are horrible ideas, and you're a horrible person for suggesting them.
