Mega Man 9

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:

Mega Man

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!

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?)
