Mega Man 9
Game » consists of 7 releases. Released Sep 22, 2008
Mega Man returns to his roots in this deliberately retro side-scrolling platformer that simulates the style and simplicity of the first six Mega Man games.
What's your plan of action?
"When is this supposed to be coming out on both Xbox Live and PSN? Does anyone know anything about the differences between the two versions?"They are all the same, but the release dates are different. The Wii version comes out tomorrow, for PS3 next week, and 360 the week after that.

"Okay, wait, so the 360 version is coming NEXT week? Not this starting week? Man, I have 800 points saved up for nothing then... except some Duke Nukem 3D * insert sunglass smiley *"Man I'm in the same boat as you.
I know that the game has an option to enable frame rate lag and clipping issues, just like the old games. I know that sounds stupid to this newer generation of gamers, but for both nostalgia and glitching purposes, that shit's awesome!!!
Splash Woman > Magma Man (obviously)

Splash Woman > Magma Man (obviously)Splash Woman > Hornet Man (because in case you didn't know, hornets fucking hate water)Splash Woman > Concrete Man (because what do you mix concrete with?)Splash Woman > Plug Man (because unless they mean "butt plug", I'm assuming it's electric, and what happens with water and electricity?)So right there alone takes out four of the seven leftovers.Splash Woman first. Then go in that order. After that:Jewel Man (using Concrete and/or Magma Man's powers)Tornado Man (using Hornet and/or Splash Woman's powers)Galaxy Man (using fuck knows what, because how do you beat a galaxy?! lol plug it up, I guess?!)= D"

I'm going to go after paper man first. Then I'll use his power against rock man, and after that I'll go after scissors man. Or I'll just patiently wait for the 360 release while I play Duke Nukem 3D. ; )

I think I'm in the same boat as BoG, in the fact that I'll leave Splash Woman for last. Gotta give her time to prepare and all.
I'll probably go for Plug Man first, because he sounds like a wimpy boss (it's how I chose my perfect order in Megaman X. The Penguin looked like a wimp, turned out he was a wimp), and from there it'll go to Concrete, to Tornado, to Hornet, to Magma, to Jewel, and then finally to Galaxy.

Ok, so here is how it has gone for me so far *SPOILERS*
I did end up taking Tornado Man first. His stage was great, I actually got an achievement for quick finish once I mastered it. After multiple deaths, I finally beat tornado man. I went on to Hornet Man as planned, but his stage proved to be intensely frustrating, mostly due to that stupid flower mini boss. I skipped him and tried Galaxy Man, who was EASY AS CAKE. He took a while, as I didn't have his weakness, but patience won in the end. I went back to Hornet Man for another go. I finally mastered most of the stage, and after a ton of game overs, beat him. Tornado Blow wasn't his weakness, but it helped out a ton, as it blew the bees away. Next I took on Magma Man, who's weakness turned out to be Tornado Blow. When you use it, his attack becomes very weak, and he loses all defense. Worth noting, his stage is intimidating.
Next, it was off to Jewel Man. TONS of game overs on this stage, probably the second most on any stage. I'm pretty sure his weakness was the black hole bomb, at least that is how I beat him. I then moved on to plug man, which was perfect, because his weakness was jewel sattelite. Of course, I DIED when he was almost dead, and I rand out of jewel sattelite. I had an E tank, so I just muscled my way to victory.
After that, it was concrete man, and overall, that wasn't too tough. I don't think it was his weakness, but the hornets seemed to do decent damage.
I'm now on Splash, and I can't get past this one screen.
Anyways, just thought I'd say nothing worked as planned. Oh well.
SPOILERS
I beat Splash Woman first and then I did Galaxy Man's stage and the boss without losing a single life. Those two stages are pretty
easy. Then I went after Concrete Man and despite the hard stage the boss battle turned out to be quite easy because of Splash Woman's weapon. I reached Plug Man and Tornado Man too but I was not able to beat them. :(
