Mega Man 9: Official Thread

[Melf]

Capcom's going out of its way to make sure its deliciously stale Mega Man 9 offers a true 8-bit experience, bugs and all. The company's Hironobu Takeshita recently told Gamasutra that the download will have the look and feel of a NES-era release, and that things such as sprite flicker have even been included as a -- thankfully optional -- feature.

"Yeah, there were some things, like you couldn't have more than three enemies on the screen at once, so we had to make sure that that's how it stayed in our game. In the part with the dragon with the flame, [there should be] flickering, and whatnot," noted the game's producer. "In the options of this game, you can adjust that, unlike the old games. We purposely put some of those old-school bugs into this game, so it does recreate that feel." Now, if only Capcom could emulate blowing into the cartridge we'd be in retro heaven.

Lol.

Work in some DS connectivity IMO. Game doesn't start until you blow the shit out of the DS mic.

Flicker and slowdown? lol. Even in the NES era, Color Dream's SuperChip solved those problems. That's not what I think of when I hear the word "nostalgia."

That's why it's optional.

I guess I should thank Takeshita for adding a retarded option to Mega Man 9.

i think you should thank Cowdisseasse for caring about an option that won't affect him that was thrown in there for fun.

I will play this with the flicker on, just for kicks.

Both of you can eat dicks.
