Mega Man 10 Blasting Onto WiiWare
Listen, we don't often get into the habit around here of posting magazine scans just to throw some information at you a little sooner, since you could, you know, just go buy the issue on stands. So for the record, don't do it. But when the magazine itself posts the article online, and the article announces a new Mega Man game, I guess we can make an exception.

Here's Nintendo Power with a first look at Mega Man 10. (Here's the full-size image.)


I wanted to get excited at the thought of a Mega Man 10, just like I got excited at the thought of a Mega Man 9... but this time, seeing that same old 8-bit sprite isn't doing anything for me. It's mainly because the last game was just abusive in ways I no longer find enjoyable. Remember this? 
 
 
   
 
The game is coming "soon" to WiiWare, though the article doesn't mention anything about releases on other platforms (and why would it, in an official Nintendo magazine?).  How about you? Are you ready to break another Wii remote?

Interesting.  Not a super big fan of Mega Man, but, i mean, he's classic.

Still want a new X game.  I don't like Mega Man as much as the X series.  X-X4 were amazing.

I actually guffawed when I read this.  Awesome.

I have to say, that artist rendition of Megaman and Protoman is making me much more interested in the game than any other Megaman game in the history of the series.

Damn it! I was saving up those Wii Points for all of Final Fantasy IV-2.

It's not the whole article, just the first two pages. The issue doesn't go on sale until Dec 22. This is what they do with every issue, showing several of their articles' first page or two to promote it (you could mention some of the other stories they have like NMH2 since you posted about the Nintendo Power issue anyway). They also mention that there's an easier easy mode this time, so yay for you if you found the other too hard. And for me.

Watching Jeff's frustration is making me want to download 9 now.  Something's wrong with me

I want that cover art inside me.
Kou_Leifoh on Dec. 9, 2009
This is nothing but a disappointment.
evilboy2000 on Dec. 9, 2009
I can't wait!!!  I'll definitely get it.  I liked how tough 9 was...  is there something wrong with me?
Alphazero on Dec. 9, 2009
Please don't read my angry rants about Mega Man 9.
 
What I don't mention is that I love the art and music, but the game is vicious in a way my no-longer-12-year-old self can no longer appreciate.

My exact thoughts, seriously man what the fuck!  A sheep, capcom has got to be shitting themselves if they think they'll slip that on by.  
So can we be expecting Alpaca man next?
SpiritOf on Dec. 9, 2009
Mega Man 9 is a lot simpler with a joystick, and turbo turned on.
 
I'll probably give MM10 a go.
 
EDIT: And for the record, Jeff's reactions to Mega Man 9 are the exact same reactions I have to playing the challenge rooms in Batman: AA. Shock & Awe make me cry like a bitch.
