Sweet!
Game Developer Inti Creates is working on a Mega Man sequel – not Mega Man X, not Mega Man Zero, not Mega Man ZX – plain, old regular Mega Man. You know, this guy:
I’m a big fan of the little guy. In fact, I still own 6 of the original 8 Mega Man games (all the ones for NES), and I’ve played through all 8 games of the original series starting with this one:
Mega Man 7 for the Super NES was the first game in the series not released on the old Nintendo Entertainment System and featured 16-bit graphics and sound:
Ah, memories…
The best news for old school gamers like myself, Mega Man 9, which will release for WiiWare, XBox Live Arcade, and PlayStation Network, returns the series to its old 8-bit roots!
Check it out -
That’s right! The graphics, music, and sound effects will resemble the original 8-bit Mega Man.
There are 8 new Robot Masters, one of them female:
- Magma Man
- Galaxy Man
- Jewel Man
- Concrete Man
- Hornet Man
- Plug Man
- Tornado Man
- Splash Woman
Guessing Dr. Wily will have to make an appearance as well.
(What do you suppose the odds are that Splash Woman’s power works best on Magma Man?)
