PSN, WiiWare, XBLA: First Footage Of 'Mega Man 9'!

...Wow, it really is a NES game...

Looks like crap!

...unless they announce it for XBLA of course.

Kind of disappointed that it seems to play EXACTLY like the old games. They could have tweaked it a little bit to fit the year to date. That "one screen"-thing is just stupid. True to the original for sure, but it doesn't mean it was better that way.

My only real complaint here is that I hope when Mega Man circles around that blue/red platform that it's not quite that choppy when you play.

There were a handful of NES games with incredibly good animation. Doing that smoothly is possible. I hope it's just an issue with the video.

What would be really terrible is if they want to be so true to the NES that they have flickering sprites lol.
