Mega Man 9 achievements and boss sprites revealed in glorious black and white photo

A post on MyGamerCard.Net just revealed some of the truly hardcore achievements for the 360 version of Mega Man 9 (first reported on by Destructoid's own Spacecat). Amazingly enough, the post also reveals the sprites for many of the game's bosses for the first time, though it's text makes no mention of this.

This is big news, people! Doesn't MGC realize how long Mega Man fanboys like myself have been dying to see if Splash Woman is in fact based off Daryl Hannah's character in the film Splash? Almost months! Finally we have our answer in the form of this sprite. From the looks of it, I'd say "not likely!"

The bosses are (going clockwise starting from the top left) Jewel Man, Magma Man, Splash Woman, Hornet Man, Tornado Man, Concrete Man, Galaxy Man, and Plug Man. 

So, has this news has caused you to Mega Man-gasm like I have, or are you not too thrilled with these latest members of the "Mega Man boss club"?

I'm still buying it for the Wii. Unless these achievements unlock anything other than a "achievement unlocked" notice, then who cares?

Buying it on PS3 regardless of bells and whistles. Best controller ever (for these types of games at least).

I can't imagine playing this with that D-pad. It's so terrible! I hope there is trophies like this for the PS3 version.

Not that I will be earning many of these...

Yes, I'll admit it

jewelman looks like kkk man.

TBH im dissapointed in the "specialties" capcom went with for the robots.

what would make this game epic is if once you defeat the 8 bots. 8 new (unannounced) ones get unlocked. Thats the problem with "hype" these days....it ruins the game before play it. i woulda rather been surprised when I bought the game as to what the robots are. Whats worse is that they ruined the pictures of the robots.....well atleast its black and white... i can still be surprised by the colors

Well, WutDaHeckMan, rumor has it their will be DLC for Mega Man 9. So 8 more bosses is not out of the question.

I wouldn't be surprised if Splash Woman is weak against Plug Man. Plug Man probably has an electrical-based attack, and generally in Megaman games, the electric guy beats the water guy.


In any case, the only one that looks even slightly daunting to me is the "kill very few enemies" and "Beat the game without losing a life". The others are things I do in Megaman games anyway for fun. I seriously doubt this game is going to be any harder than Megaman 2 P. Buster only run.

Don't be ashamed, F Whipple. In fact, you should be proud. You've seen the end of the Guitar Hero episode of South Park, right? That sentiment is more than applicable to me and my Mega Man boss naming skills.

How could you miss Oil Man? He's infamous for being the one that looks like it could offend some people in the U.S.

sweetness. though there is a part of me still reeling from the fact we have a female Robot Master now. though now i'm dreading if capcom decides to just be 'original' and recreates old Robot Masters in female form...

Pharoah Woman
Skull Woman
Garbage Woman
Hard Woman
Flash Woman

The mind reels!

@ Donkey Kong- thanks for the correction. I was so excited about this news I forgot how the hands on a clock turn. Fixed now.

@ Nihon- I forgot Time Man and Oil Man because they aren't in the original NES Mega Man. But you're right, the are both notable, and even if they weren't, Mega Man Powered Up is not to be forgotten. It's hands down the best polygon based Mega Man game ever, and it's a shame that it was released on a console where no one would buy it.

If Mega Man Powered Up were a DS game, it would have made buckets of cash. But if that happened, Capcom may have stuck with that direction instead of going 8-Bit with Mega Man 9, so I guess I shouldn't complain.

@ Michiyoyo- Are you still bitter about Mega Man 9 I figured you'd be over that by now, seeing as it's not a WiiWare exclusive.

I mean, come on, how can you say anyone or anything looks too much like Quick Man? That's like saying you have too much money in the bank, or you're girlfriend is too sexy.

That aint right, son. Just aint right.

Still can't see how you'd choose anything but the Wii version on this one. The Wii remote is an even better NES controller than the real thing. The PS3 version is the obvious second choice because at least it has a dpad.
