Mega Man 9, Capcom's upcoming title for Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii, is a deliberate attempt to recreate the 8-bit gaming experience we all remember from our childhood, with its blocky sprites and midi music intact. But in the wake of Capcom setting the standard for 'next-gen retro games' with Bionic Commando: Rearmed, is this really the right way for them to go with MM9?
Like any franchise, there are entries in the mainline Mega Man series have proved better than others, either because of how much they did (or didn't) alter the gameplay design philosophy that made it legendary in the industry. Today, we've got every mainline entry in the series ranked from worst to best.

We can forget about all that now though as the Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale for 3rd-9th July 2018 is now in place and it is bringing a whole new range of discounts to both Xbox One and Xbox 360 players. Want to check out the full list of games on sale?"
Replies(1)Several of these games have been on GWG, Slime Rancher and Super Mega Baseball 2. Others are on Gamepass. There is an Anime sale going on with up to 75% off. Fifa 18 at just 15quid, although I'll wait until it's in the EA Access Vault and get it for free.

Last week we counted down the first 10 games in our look at the Top 20 WiiWare games ever made, and if you haven’t had the chance yet you can check out those picks right here but now we switch our focus over to the very best that WiiWare has to offer so if you still have a Wii (or a Wii U) kicking around make sure to download these games before they are lost forever."
Who cares, people will still buy it and say it's the best game ever and that we just don't understand it if we don't like it.
If you ask that question......i have to question if you have played it
perfect return to what made Megaman 2 popular.
The game even has achievements,one beign called "perfect" which you have to beat the ENTIRE game without getting hit.......
if thats not brutal i dont know what is.
The good ol’days are in full swing when I play or hear about this game. The fact that I can once again argue that anyone capable of getting “Perfect” is a loser and that another gamer (the real kind) can argue back, no they are hardcore (the original kind) brings back nostalgia, I’m happy Mega Man 9 is what it is, I enjoyed beating the snot out of cement man, as his stage is the only stage I can clear without ever taking a hit.
...I don't care how many people disagree. But I love Megaman games and cannot stand that they spent all this time and resources on a game that:
1)Has no Trophy support.
2)Has no PSP Remote Play.
3)Plays at a 4:3 screen ratio.
4)Is done in the "artistic" 8-bit style.
5)No custom Soundtracks.
6)No surround sound.
7)Cost the same as Bionic Commando:Rearmed without the next-gen polish.
This DOES NOT LOOK GOOD ON A 46inch HDTV. NO $$$ FROM ME. Plus i got the MegaMan X Collection (5 games in 1) ps2. IF they dont want to take the time and do a proper next-gen game, then i will not support them. NOSTALGIA is OUT THE WINDOW. Not paying for an 8-Bit game in 2008 sorry.
