Mega Man 9 is a-go!

[New Era Outlaw]

For the longest while, Mega Man fans, after experiencing a slew of games in the Mega Man Universe, finally get a return to the series that started it all, with the long awaited Mega Man 9.

However, while most games tend to churn out sequels with the latest in hi-resolution graphics and surround sound to feed off of the power of next gen consoles, MM9 does quite the opposite- it's actually going back to its roots by returning to the 8-bit style. It will also be the first Mega Man game to feature a female Robot Master.

It will be available for download for the Wii Virtual Console, Playstation Network and X-Box Live respectively.

Yeah. Personally, I had my doubts, but I think this'll be a good thing, going retro. I didn't really enjoy 7 or 8 as much as I did the classics for the NES, so, in my opinion, maybe less is more.

Hey, guys. Remember how God-awful the box art was for the American releases of Mega Man 1 and 2?

Well, apparently, Capcom caught on to that, so, in memory of the game going back to its roots, here's some 'boxart' for the game:



Yup. Soak it allllll in.
