Mega Man 9 delight: Splash Woman and Plug Man revealed! photo

Do you see this devastingly beautiful thing I have put before you, ladies and gentleman? We are finally looking at the FIRST FEMALE BOSS in the history of classic Mega Man titles. Look at this bad bitch!

In an exclusive feature over at GamesRadar, character art for both Splash Woman and Plug Man was revealed, causing more than a flutter in this dear old retro gamer's heart. There are screens as well, which you can check out in the gallery -- check out that nice big shot of the sprites! That's freaking beautiful!

According to the article, beating Splash Woman earns you a weapon called the Laser Trident (which sounds completely rad) and beating Plug Man earns you the Plug Ball. No offense to Plug Man or anything (not that he should bother since you're going to stomp him anyway), but that Laser Trident looks light years cooler than the Plug Ball. Plus, the Plug Ball sounds like an anal toy. Not good.

We won't have much longer to wait until we can weep tears of delicious agony as these bosses and their levels cause us to die over and over. Are you ready?

[Thanks, Andrew]

A bad bitch, indeed. Looks awesome.

Thanks, Colette, now I won't be able to think of anything else when I use the Plug Ball. Ugh, I can't even type that without feeling dirty.

Erm... what?

Since when have anal toys been not good? I suppose they don't really belong in a Mega Man game, but come on now Colette... you're breaking my heart here. :'(

Also, I am definitely excited for this game! I'll be playing lots of Mega Man 2 and X on Sunday in preparation for this! ^_^

as funny as plug ball sounds it looks like the better weapon to me. from the sprites it looks like the electro-balls are either heat seeking or can shoot at an angle. and remember how awesome the metal blades where in mega man 2 being able to shoot at an angle.

see guys how hard was it not to make an anal joke in the comments

These were done by someone on the Bead Spriter's Forum (8-bit Artist), and I think they're gorgeous.

I think Chad might not be around for Retroforce for a good while.

Maybe for the rest of ever at the rate it's going.

Maybe Splash Woman is a woman the way Poison from Final Fight is a woman, and Capcom is just screwing with us again.

@ScottyG: If 9 is as difficult as they say, might I suggest Mega Man 1 or Mega Man 3 instead? Or at least put 2 on difficult mode. I just played through 2 again, and it was unnervingly easy. 1 and 3 are more of a challenge, 1 on the NES being possibly the hardest Mega Man game that exists.
I'm totally with you on 2 and X being two of the best though. X2 is my absolute favorite.

@Zero Atma

I'm ashamed to say that I've never beaten Mega Man 1. I really need to get on that. The damn cyclops guy destroys me every time, but maybe I'll have to wimp out and use the glitch with Elec Man's weapon and pressing start.

megman is going to use plugman's plug ball to plug the splashing woman.


I see nothing dirty about this.

@Zero Atma:

Ohhh... a challenge you say? I accept! ^_^

...

Yeah, I hear you about 2 being easy. When I got my HD tv I tested it out by plugging in my NES and playing through MM2, and I got through it in ~45 minutes. Mind you a lot of people seem to think that game is really hard, and the only thing I found remotely challenging is the disappearing blocks section in Heat Man's stage, and even then only because I can't be bothered to memorize all those blocks.

Never really thought of 3 as hard either, just damn long. One is the same way since there's no password system. Haven't played either in awhile though so I'm very curious how I stack up. Of course I'll have to obtain copies of the game, but it's a small price to pay. :p

There were horses, and a man on fire, and I killed a guy with a trident.

We need a Mega Man game that features both Wood man and Plug man.

@ MrXIndeed;

I was thinking the same thing. Capcom has a lot to answer for...
