WHAT? WHAT? WHAT? WHAT? WHAT???

*inhales......*

AAAAHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*Goes insane like a teenage girl at a concert*

Wow..Megaman 9... O_O Awesomeness..

[A n t r a x x]

Yeah, the original Mega Man series is where it's at.

This isn't really confirmation.. need more info.

*waits till E3*

This seems to be very good news.
I still remember HATING those damn skiing sections in Megaman 8.

Ah..back in 1998.

All I know is, I hope this is the game that ties the series to Megaman X. I want to see X being constructed, Wily go into hiding, Zero going berserk, etc.

Now that you bring this up, that WOULD be cool! But it would be even more poignant if they saved that for Mega Man 10

Oooo...I always found it interesting that the name of the series after it is Megaman "X"..I mean..because X is roman numeral 10, of course..

I know that isn't why it is titled that, but its still interesting to think about..

Also..I hope, that if this game is in fact true, it is still 2d. Even if it is cel shaded or 3d graphics, we all know that a 2d Megaman series going to 3d is a bad idea...

(Megaman X7 anyone?)

But yeah..I hope this game becomes a reality.

Don't forget Mega Man Legends XD

While kinda interesting and even fun, it played nothing like Mega Man at all.

Well that wasn't originally 2d though. It was an entirely new series on it's own!

It's awesome they they're doing this, but with almost every Megaman game sucking for the past 5+ years, I wou;dn't be surprised if this did too

X6-8 I can understand anyone not liking...

but the Zero series was definately great..and although the story + characters of the ZX series aren't anything amazing, the gameplay is still solid.

Megaman is best when it is 2d and traditional, and as long as it stays on the original timeline. (Unlike the Battle Network series)

Megaman Powered Up and Maverick Hunter X were both very well done.  Especially the stage designer feature in the former.  As a matter of fact...  I was working on a Castlevania theme stage about 9 months ago...  I never did finish it...

ROCKMAN!! HELL YES!!!
*runs around screaming wildly like a girl on a pop concert*

I just hope it will be as epic as Rockman II was on the NES. Good times

I am hoping for a Wii/PSP or DS port.
