The upcoming Megaman 9 DLC is a point of contention for some folks, but I’m not here to debate that issue. In fact, I don’t even own Megaman 9. Fortunately, for you folks out there, that hasn’t stopped me from sharing some media from the upcoming DLC pack featuring Megaman’s rival.

Are you ready for more 8-bit Megaman? I’m not. I’m just not feeling the excitement around the ‘9th‘ installment of the original Blue Bomber’s adventures. Even after looking through all the celebratory screenshots and artwork which Capcom released, I’m not feeling it. However, if they released a new 2D Megaman X, I’ll be there day one!
Admittedly, I’m not a big classic Megaman fan. I am definitely of a Megaman X type of gamer. I’m also not too keen on the whole classic look of Megaman and by default, the look of Megaman 9. At least give me something from the Super Nintendo days. Regardless, I still think Capcom made a gutsy move and I respect them for it.
Here’s some character art and screenshots of the upcoming PSN, XBLA and WiiWare title. Remember this title will debut later this year.
Next-gen visuals be damned. This is what it’s all about. I don’t agree with it, but at least Capcom is doing what it believes in. I can respect that.
It’s actually coming for Wii Ware, XBLA and PSN.
Capcom’s community blog unveiled their official E3 line-up which included a mysterious game codenamed, “Flock”. I honestly have no idea what it is. What I do know is that Capcom’s E3 line-up is a solid one.
Check out this excerpt:
I’m not the biggest fan of Megaman. I’m more of a Megaman X fan. Don’t ask me why, I’m just like that. So don’t hate on me if I’m not overwhelmed with joy with the announcement of Megaman 9 for WiiWare.
I’m guessing this game is squarely aimed at the nostalgic types. Not only are we getting the 9th installment of Megaman, we’re also going to get it in classic NES form. This game will be published by Capcom and developed by IntiCreates. Like more details? Here you go:
Like the graphics, the story takes a decidedly simplistic yet classic approach. Robots are causing havoc, and Dr. Wily blames Dr. Light for the wreckage. Mega Man sets out to clear his creator’s name while blowing up many, many things. And speaking of bosses, the article also gives us a look at the new roster: Magma Man, Galaxy Man, Jewel Man, Concrete Man, Hornet Man, Plug Man, Tornado Man, and Splash Woman. Yes, that says “woman”; after all, it’s 2008 and the series needed more fodder for robot-on-robot fanfic.
I have an infactuation for music games. No, I’m not talking about Guitar Hero or Rock Band. I am talking about games like Rez, Lumines and Everyday Shooter. If you took a look at those videos and were turned off by them — I’m not surprised. Videos do a terrible job at conveying these types of games. Well, I’m not here to entice you folks into playing these games, I’m actually posting to inform you all about Rez HD’s imminent release and AudioSurf, an awesome Indie game.
AudioSurf is absolutely brilliant. It’s like a blend of Guitar Hero + Wipeout + Tetris. Yes, it’s a musical rhythmic puzzle racer. DragonForce’s Through the Fire and Flames is also featured in a video here. What other songs are available? Anything you want. AudioSurf will analyze any song you have and generate a level for it. You can try out a very limited demo from the homepage, but since it only allows you play a handful of preselected songs at the moment, I’d wait for the full release.
As for Rez HD: it’s coming soon. Possibly this Wednesday, even. I’m not going to even bother explaining what Rez is about because this Wiki page does a better job. You can also try to understand the game through this video of a noob playing below:
