Mega Man 9: Official Thread

[StriderKyo]

Has this been confirmed for next week yet? Gamefaqs release dates still show it.

Well, it's a September release and there are only two Mondays left in September so you've got a 50/50 chance.

If they sold a soundtrack in that same packaging, it alone could probably make back the development costs of the game. That shit's too cool to waste on promo swag.

edit: ...unless, of course, that packaging cost more than anyone would want to pay for a soundtrack. Possible!

This game is going to get ripped off and played for free on NES emulators by people who have the talent to make their own levels and sprites. Kinda like what they did with Megaman 7 the nes version...

I don't see why anyone that wanted to do that would wait for 9. There's 6 other games whose assets are just as ripe for that sort of thing.

There might also be a licensing issue if Nintendo still owns the design of the NES cartridge.

Easy fix, use Tengen-style carts!

...but Nintendo will up their security and we won't be able to play Mega Man 9!
