Nintendo Power announced that Mega Man 10 is well on its way, and features significant changes to the traditional Blue Bomber formula. Among them is a bizarre story the world's robots have been infected with a virus called Robotena, which causes them to overheat and go haywire. This could be an homage to the actual Mega Man X series, in which the Sigma virus causes robots to turn evil.
At any rate, Mega Man's posse aims to find components for a cure. More interestingly, it 's not just Mega Man this time. His brother, Proto Man, and an as-of-yet unnamed hero will be along for the ride, selectable from the very beginning and, hopefully, at any other time. A likely suitor for this third character could be Bass, an anti-hero character from Mega Man 7 and 8.
The game will also offer an Easy mode, perhaps to counteract the notoriously high difficulty of the series. As for the Robot Masters, only one has been revealed: Sheep Man. Yes, you read that right. Sheep Man looks like a cartoon sheep with robot arms and legs. He charges electricity, floating into the air and raining lighting over the battlefield. Once you defeat him, you acquire his weapon: Thunder Wool.
There is no release date for Mega Man 10 yet, and there is also no word on whether or not this will be a WiiWare exclusive.
I still don't know what "Yamato" means...
I still can't forget the killer hairball spitting cats in Mega Man 3.
It has DLC?
how much is the DLC?

"Yellow Demon Man"
"Boss Refight Man"
"Spike Pit Man"
"Disappearing Block Man"
"DLC Man"
So no surprise that Sheep Man was just announced. It's hard to think of good ideas for Mega Man. All the obvious ideas were taken long ago.
this game is loved for emulating the NES style gameplay (and look).It doesn't need an NES-style to capture the gameplay. In fact, it was hindered by it.
I don't know about that, I'm still waiting for Honus Wagner Card Man.That video is hilarious. I found it a while back and I think it is one of the best videos on YouTube.

Yes and that game's called Shinobi.
I can beat the game in a half hour. What's taking you guys so long!?
Was there really a Bat Man?
They should parody some actual super heroes if they are gonna go that route.
Bat Man
Spider Man
Iron Man
Super Man
Ultra Man
Aqua Man
Multiple Man
Invisible Man
that's an entire game right there.
Remember Dark Man? Most generic name EVER for a Mega Man villain.I heard a rumour that his name in Japanese translates to "Black Man". Is that true?

Wasn't it great how early videogames would break copyright laws. Hell, speaking of breaking copyright laws and Megaman, here's something that might interest some of you.
Elec Mans theme

Lets hope Journey and their lawyers never find out about this or else you can say good bye to Elec Mans theme ever being used in a Megaman game ever again.
Hindered? Not unless you're comparing it to the X series (and then only X1, 2 i'm assuming SNES version of 3) but those games are a different beats all together. The gameplay was PERFECT for what a classic MM game should be, considering Capcom messed up the gameplay (3 times over) in the classic series before 9 reverted back to the series roots.It sounds like you're saying the 8-bit graphics and sound have a direct relation to the gameplay. I've not played any of the X series besides the first, but I can tell you that if the series isn't as good (which is subjective) it is not because they weren't NES games.
NES hardware. There have already been six... well I guess SEVEN games on the NES, so by sticking with that limitation they are stifling creativity and the series is becoming stale.

MM9 was the Toilet Princess of Mega Man games.
but when you say the game fell flat for doing what its SUPPOSED to do (and doing it perfectly) well.. that's different :)But I don't think it really achieved its goal. It was attempting to replicate Mega Man 2 but it is nowhere near as good. It's easy to make a game 8-bit and say "here's an NES game!" and yeah, they accomplished that, but it's just not very well designed.

I'm not expecting anything; Mega Man 9 WAS what I expected it to be, a game that tries too hard to replicate a past greatness but fails in that regard because greatness cannot be achieved if you're specifically trying to create it. A game stuck in the past that's still good but squandering its potential. I expect the same from Mega Man 10. Capcom misses the point of why those old games are so highly regarded: great design and great music. Neither needs to be confined to the limitations of the NES to exist. Mega Man should take a page from New Super Mario Brothers.
Didn't mm9 do things musicaly that actually couldn't be doneon the NES,I thought I read that here actually...
And we're gonna have to agree to disagree because I put mm9 in my top 3 mm games (which is 2, 3, & 9)
MM9 was the Toilet Princess of Mega Man games.
Since you need clarification, it's one of the most forgettable face-palmiest of the series. An indication that the game industry is going downhill in a merry sled. When the bar is set so high in the past, it's so much easier to go under it. That is Toilet Princess. That is Mineral Guy 9.
My head falls backs
And the walls crash down
And the sky
And the impossible
Explode
Held for one moment I remember a song
An impression of sound
Then everything is gone
Forever
