AWESOME! I loved 9 and I am sure I'll love this one! Some old school goodness!

Megaman 9 ranks at number 3 in the Classic series behind 2 and 3. With 3 ahead of 2.

The problem with Mega Man 9 is that it tried too hard to replicate the old NES games and ended up falling flat, it's like Capcom thought the reason they are so highly regarded is because they're NES games. It's still a good game, but the NES ones have it beat. It is better than 7 and 8 though.

I hope they bring back the slide and charge moves. I'll probably get it if it is 1,000 points.

Naah 7's better. It's not some trial-error game with recycled-everything and devious DLC.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #5 on:** December 09, 2009, 10:56:51 PM »

Well the general consensis with 7 and 8 are that they not the best games in the series to put it kindly. Of course it is personal preference but I can put 9 above 4,5,6 as my favorites.

I find that what defines the Megaman series for me is that it is challenging but doable with the right actions by the player. The music tends to be great as well.

What defines the series for everybody?

Wasn't their a freeware remake of Megaman 7 in 8bit graphics? I remember playing it and liking it, but I forgot where I got it.

How will they make an easy mode? Remove half the spikes and bottomless pits?

Maybe they will have it so that the enemies attacks do less damage to you while keeping the rest of the game is slightly easier.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #12 on:** December 10, 2009, 03:23:06 AM »

even if they do no damage the spikes will still instakill you and so will getting thrown into a bottomless pit.

That is correct, i had to give up before ever beating it because of it. Don't know how i managed to get up to the final levels though..

MM10 is awesome news to me, because MM 9 was awesome and as someone else mention, ranks up there with MM2 and 3. The classic series games after 3 were kinda 'meh' until 9 came along, and maybe it just has something to do with the music

the soundtrack rocks, same can't be said for **** after 3 (hell some of 3's tracks aren't great either..) and the level design is much better IMO.

Oh and 7 & 8 were extra 'meh' because MM felt much slower and the action didn't feel as smooth as the NES games. They had their moments (like fights against Bass) but weren't anywhere near the best of the series. M&B might of been at least playable if i had the SNES version but it was still as slow and floaty as MM8, which REALLY sucked hard on the Saturn i had back in the day.. what a peice of **** controller. I was able to finally beat the game on the GC with the Anniversary Collection.

X 1 and 2 still trump them all though

Why does Mega Man die when jumping on spikes? Is he made out of a rubber tire?

EasyCure · « **Reply #15 on:** December 10, 2009, 11:18:58 PM »

Better yet, why doesn't wily just build his fortress' out of spikes? The robot masters too!

Theseare the type of questions only Bob & George can answer!!

Mega Man 9 has items you can buy to protect one hit from spikes or one falling down a pit. Perhaps they'd make these items easier to obtain?

KDR_11k · « **Reply #17 on:** December 11, 2009, 08:26:31 AM »

Malstrom suggested that these tons of spikes are there precisely because the store sells so many items that anything else is barely a problem.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #18 on:** December 11, 2009, 11:24:35 AM »

Well it would depend on ones experence with the Megaman series. A new person to the series Megaman 9 is probably very frustrating for them but for me who has played most of the classic series it isn't that hard compaired to the new person.

Peachylala · « **Reply #19 on:** December 11, 2009, 01:30:12 PM »

@ Maxi: Thanks for the PM!

Having played a majority of the Mega Man games on the Anniversary Collection, cheap deaths can happen in a Mega Man game, but you can also die by the fault of your lack of gaming skill.

Mega Man games take skill. If you lack the skill, buy the items. It's really that simple.

Mop it up · « **Reply #20 on:** December 11, 2009, 04:46:09 PM »

And if you want something more evolved then you'll have to go for the Mega Man X series.

Speaking of, if they had stuck with the Roman numerals then this game would be titled Mega Man X...
