Topic: Megaman 10 for WiiWare

[Mop it up]

That's pretty funny. I guess they can't have a robot made of rocks, because it'd be confusing if they named him Rock Man and he gave a rock-shooting weapon called the Rock Buster. Though I guess they'd just use a synonym... like they did with Stone Man in Mega Man 5.

It's Rockman, not Rock Man (and Mega Man, not Megaman).

No one cares.

It's not hard to remember, but some people still can't get Game Boy right after 21 years (i've even seen NWR staffers write "GameBoy"). It's just one of those annoying things Mopit Up.

Oh come on, it's a different story when a name is right on the page that you're viewing.

March 1st is the release date.

[TJ Spyke]

Yeah, that was already reported here a couple weeks ago (look on page 3, where BlackNMild2k1 posted the release date of all 3 versions much tons of pics).

[BeautifulShy]

So yeah anyway the Nintendo World Store will be having a launch event on the 7th of March at 11 am EST.
There will be T-shirts and posters there but you need to purchase a 2000 point card for the T-Shirt and any other item for the poster.

The T-Shirts are going to be having art from artists from iam8bit.

So is anybody going to go?

So.. it was announced today Bass is the extra character.  But everyone knew it because he was already in the game and unlockable via codes.

I'm not even sure if Capcom would have announced him so soon had there not been several youtube videos made of him being played.

Regardless, he plays just like he did in Mega Man and Bass, with rapid fire that can shoot in seven directions, as well as a dash.  He doesn't double jump anymore, though.

Hey, thatguy!  Looks like you made GoNintendo!  I think you're the only writer on PixlBit to make it into GoNintendo since October of last year.  Congrats!

[that Baby guy]

Speaking of PixlBit, I need to talk to Nick about a few ideas to encourage actual talking for visitors of the site... Something like a "most recently discussed" section of the site.  I'll probably save it for the next time I'm in a podcast.

I've actually been on GoNintendo three times, I believe.  To make it on there, someone just has to send in a link about anything Nintendo related.  From what I've glanced at with the numbers, currently a GoNintendo link nets about... 90 more viewers or so, which is a surprisingly small amount of traffic for a site that would seem to have a lot more clout, especially since reviews consist of a lot more than just the snippet RMC posts.

[vudu]

To be fair, all your articles linked on GoNintendo are reviews for games that already have a large number of reviews available.  Yours is like the 15th MM10 review I've seen since Monday.  After about the 3rd review I just stopped caring.  I'd be willing to be that exclusive content--such as Nick's SSBB+ feature--would generate a lot more hits.

[that Baby guy]

Certainly, unique stuff like that probably would, and I'd imagine a four-page, single article, version of that Scribblenauts rant I wrote probably would, too.  Giving a few suggestions to Nick about a few methods to promote the site is on my to-do list, but I believe part of the reason why things have been a bit less aggressive than most would expect is both because he's in the middle of a lot of crazy stuff at his work, and that they're waiting to see a few more writers sign up.

Still, I plan to review several classic and Wii Ware titles over a bit of time, and I think establishing a reputation for thorough, but quick reviews will help visitors establish my identity on the site as a writer.  In fact, something I've meant to begin doing, and actually did in my yet-to-go-to-editing Mouse House review, was mention the time I spent with the game, so readers know how much hands-on time was spent.  Sure, the review is a week late... but it was an afterthought, thanks to Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing.

Anyways, I don't mean to hijack the thread with PixlBit stuff, I've been trying to keep it at a minimum on NWR, so I'll take it back to Mega Man:

I'm a little conflicted about some of the DLC...  Did anyone buy Endless Mode for Mega Man 9?  What was it like?

[TJ Spyke]

I haven't played it, but some members here who did said they didn't like it. They said the level design in Endless Mode looked like a poorly made fan-hack.

[that Baby guy]

I'll probably wait to read about it, then, or download it as soon as it's available, and write up a mini-review on it, since it's probably not actually unlockable via Wiird-style codes.  I just realized there were also going to be three extra stages you could buy, too.  At first, I thought the bosses for those stages were meant to be part of the Endless mode, as enemy bosses.  I might consider buying the extra stages, but the only DLC I'd try to mini-review would be endless mode, I'd think that's the only thing on its own that might be worth it, since Bass is secretly pre-packed into the game and unlockable via hacking.

And for vudu, and other PixlBit fans, I bumped up a thread he created in the forums over there with later plans, so we won't derail stuff any more here.  Check it out if you have feedback.

You should mop It-up
