    With Duke 3D releasing on the 360 just a single day before the PS3 version of Mega Man, I seriously have to wonder if this was done to avoid stepping on Mr. Nukem's toes, or to avoid Duke stepping on the toes of Mr. Man.  I really do think it would be foolish for MS to release both Duke and Mega Man on the same day, as they would very likely cut into each others sales.

    Then again, if I had the choice of both systems--which I don't--I'd go with the PS3 in a heartbeat, due to its d-pad alone.

    I am a bit disappointed that the XBLA version isn't coming out until Oct. 1st, but patience is a virtue...or so I've been told.

    I'm hoping someone will pirate it so I can play it on a NES emulator.

    So Wii has timed exclusive by 3 days.

    King of the consoles, Mega Man approves, as does Strong Bad. OMG!

    I actually think getting it for ant other system while you have Wii is kinda dumb. The controller is basically an NES controller. The only reason I'd see is storage.

    Any word on what the downloadable content will be?  All I've seen so far are these different game modes.  They seem pretty cool, especially Proto Man mode.
