It’s not every day that you see a big game developer create the next game of a well-established franchise by going all the way back to its roots, even if that may have been twenty years ago. This is exactly the route Capcom has taken with Megaman 9, and while ...

Mega Man and Mega Man 2 were two of my favorite games released one the NES - Megaman 2 is still quite possibly my favorite game of all time. Level design was perfect, and the soundtrack can put John Williams to shame. I didn't play nay Mega Man games after ...

Mega Man 9: The Modern Retro Title That Could
(
XBLM

Let's be completely honest with ourselves: if your heritage of video games begins and ends primarily in the realm of polygons and textures, chances are high that Mega Man 9 is going to seem rather foreign from a conceptual standpoint. It lacks much in the way of checkpoints, relies on ...

Mega Man 9 is a new sequel to the long running Mega Man franchise. Instead of using an up to date graphics engine, the developers opted to go retro and use the same engine that powered the old NES games. This is an interesting idea, and it's cool to pretty ...

I never really got into Mega Man games.The first game, a kiss of death waiting in my Easter Basket, taunted me with its unbeatability. Even after summoning the power of game genie to defeat it years later, the whole experience left a sour taste in my mouth. The game's sequels ...

Megaman returns in a deliciously difficult 8-bit romp
(
XBLM

Capcom’s Megaman 9 is the latest game in the long running Megaman/Rockman series which originally made its debut on the NES all the way back in 1987. Considered as the follow-up to Megaman 8 released nearly twelve years ago (excluding its numerous spin-offs), the game’s engine has been built from ...

Albeit stripped of content, Mega Man 9 succeeds.

Capcom, who has perhaps observed Nintendo’s use of nostalgia to maintain its relevance to “true gamers” and recently revived the Bionic Commando franchise with the sublime Rearmed, is resurrecting another dormant IP: the real Mega Man. A new Mega Man with the style of 1988 and twenty years’ design ...

This game is pretty much exactly what we've been expecting really. Classic Mega Man graphics and sound, great level design and lots of achievements built in which is a nice feature, as well as plenty of save slots because I doubt many people are getting through this game in one ...

this is a totally old school 8 bit game that is VERY challenging. it took me 4 days to finally beat the game! At first this game can be frustrating because it's so hard, but after a while, you start to learn the patterns and get reminded of what gaming ...

When I first heard about this new game with a new direction in the Mega Man series I thought to myself: "Genius!". After all, let's be serious here, technology advancement wasn't easy on Mega Man. The old days were glorious for this franchise, but it never actually adjusted itself for ...

Kids these days don’t know what a hard video game is. That’s a pure, unchallenged fact. When the Game Genie came out, the challenge in video games went into a downward spiral that it never recovered from. People say Zelda: Twilight Princess is hard. People say GTA4 is hard, and ...

Rock out with your Cock out

Your favorite band, after years of solid rock albums, worldwide touring, partying and hotel smashing, decides that they need to evolve or mature their sound. Therefore, they produce some “experimental” albums (probably with some kind of jazz influence) and alienate most of their fanbase. Eventually, the band realizes the error ...

The most important thing you need to realize about Mega Man 9 is that if you don’t like the style, then you’re a terrible person. 8-bit has returned straight from the NES and onto your next-gen console, that very same one hooked up to that fancy HDTV. It’s also complete ...
