I'll probably buy it on the Playstation Network, how about you guys?

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.
Which system are you getting Mega Man 9 on?
im gonna get it on the psn but i think it would be good to play on the wii to get the retro feel with the controller on the side
XBL Arcade. It might not have better graphics than the WiiWare version, but it will be higher resolution--and that matters to me, dammit.
EDIT: And now that I know no version is hi-res... Crap.
Knowing how hard this game is supposedly going to be, I think that I'm gonna have to go with WiiWare. I've had a few little problems with the 360 D-pad, which would lead to massive frustration in a MM game. And the pad on the Wiimote while held sideways has served me well, and I guess I'm a sucker for the NES feeling controller on an NES feeling game.
WiiWare it is! That way I can keep it next to Megaman 2 for when I get those 8-bit urgezzz.
I've also sworn that the first level I create in LittleBigPlanet will be made with colored blocks made to look like Mega man sprites >:(
More than likely I will get it on the PSN. Although, I have to admit, it seems "right" to have it on the Wii!
I'm torn, so glad to see this discussion here, I want to get it for Wii and play it all classic with the side on controller, but i also want to take on those mega-hard achievements, so i can see if i can push myself. OooOO, I want something like the achievements portal had on PC, just inside the game, but on the Wii. Damn you MS and your alluring ways!
WiiWare. You gotta play it with a more classic pad like the sideways Wiimote, even if I have to clear space. Also, Mega Man with achievements just sounds......nasty. Like, perverted, for some reason. How retarded would it look to be in the 8-bit glory when the big Xbox logo comes up, "ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED!", completely ruining the 80s feel?
PS3, for the controller. I don't know if you've seen the 360 achievements for this game but, after all was said and done I'd have 5/200 points. So, I might as well not even bother. These are the roughest achievements I've ever seen.
If only I could get one of those USB NES controllers... it would be perfect for playing on the 360. And regarding the "Achievent unlocked" thingy showing up, like many of you have stated before, these (along with Ikaruga) might be the hardest achievements ever, so I don't think I'll be seeing it often.
