Rumortoid: Mega Man 9 in the works? Spacecat tells all

Rumortoid: Mega Man 9 in the works? Spacecat tells all screenshot

Look, I drink...

... and from time to time, I do a little bit of Matlocking. I may not be the best source for rumors, especially considering that I have never ever been correct on anything. However, I am not the source. Spacecat is someone I met during my days as a unicorn wrangler. He travels through time to find gamers the juicy gaming rumors that you crave. Here is what he has to say...

I have just returned from the year 2009. Global warming is a lie, by the way. It's freezing cold there. Anyways, as you know, the core Mega Man series died off over 10 years ago with Mega Man 8, but fans will be happy to know it isn't dead completely. Mega Man 9 is fully in the works. It gets announced in 2008. The series will introduce new characters, provide online multiplayer, and will have leaderboards. The game will be hitting the Xbox 360 on Live and the PlayStation 3 on PSN. For those of you in Japan, don't worry. The series is coming to you also in the form of Rockman. Oh no! They see me. I have to go now.

Well now. Nobody can dispute a rumor from a talking cat that has the ability to travel through time. One thing I can add is that this "rumor" in no way is related to the God-awful Mega Man movie in the works. For all of you Matlocks out there, Mega Man X was not Mega Man 10. Look at the Wikipedia page (never lies) before you run your mouth.

[Workmeng's note: I did attempt to contact Capcom directly to verify Spacecat's claims, but did not get a proper response, so it remains a pointed rumor until then. From the future. In space. Meow.]

i'd vote spacecat into the senate.


but seriously, i'd love a true mega man 9. wouldn't mega man & bass be considered a "9"? or is that like, "8 and then some"?

this...and maybe another legends title.

actually, nevermind.

Knowing Ron, he's probably holding out on all of us, even us editors. I wouldn't be surprised if he were playing a beta of this game right now with SurferGirl, SpaceCat,HockeyPanda, and who knows how many other idiotically named industry insiders.

Or at the very least, I bet he has screenshots.

Screenshots PLZ RON!!! PLZ!!!!!

Ron NSFWorkman at 06/10/2008 20:10

@DJP3DRO I know. Im totally wrong. You got me. BTW, I will ask Spacecat about MGS4 since he can time travel and HE is the source of this rumor, NOT ME.
iwontusemyname's Avatar
iwontusemyname at 06/10/2008 20:14

Toonces FTW. let's hope a new legends game will have plenty of stock footage of cars flying off of cliffs.

hey, MGS4 360, while probably highly improbable, is never impossible. i mean, Substance came out of the original black box, and shit, who thought we'd see Resident Evil 4 on PS2? or Devil May Cry 4 on 360? or Sonic in Smash Bros?

things change people! we live in crazy times!

I'd ask Space Cat to go forward enough to learn about Duke Nukem Forever, but I hear the effects of time travel can be lethal when traveling over 500 years.

Control-F -> "bass"

Ah, glad to see people beat me to the whole Mega Man & Bass thing. Great game, though I suggest the SNES version over the GBA one - the latter has the videogame equivalent of pan and scan, with bosses that are more difficult because the arena is smaller but their patterns are unchanged.

Multiplayer?
Leaderboard?

Space Cat is talking mad crazy, trendy shit.

Still, do want please.

@RedFace: The first Mega Man on NES had down as 'duck' in the manual. Down did nothing. Mega Man just pwned you through time travel.

people think X is 10? I figured they would have worked that out by the fact that the sequel was X2 and and XI (11) and that it wasn't going by roman numerals.

those would probably be the same people that get confused by Final Fantasy X-2 and Final Fantasy XII (12)
