Full details here!

 

So... which will you buy? I'm very undecided right now.

 

Sony - I like being able to buy games with actual money off the PSN also the PS3 joypad has the best D pad going.

 

XBOX360 - Achievements, adds to my ever growing amount of XBLA games.

 

Wii - Nostaliga factor.. but the damn flash memory is running out :(

Defo PS3 for me. It should have trophies and my 320Gb HD is hungry and I trust my PS3 not to brick it.

 

Plus I can't stand the noise of the 360.

 

...and my 360 controllers keep breaking.

Yeah, its something to do with the batteries. Its really annoying. I think I'm going to have to buy a plug'n'play thing. Its just bad luck but it is f*cking annoying.

 

But since I haven't touched my 360 for the past 5 months I'm not too bothered.

Although I have no freaking idea where Arstechnica got this from, because there's absolutely no one else reporting it, it makes sense. Anyway, obviously getting it for the Wii. Don't have a ps3, 360 d-pad sucks and sideways remote= win. I mean, it's a NES game, what better to play it than with a NES-like controller? :P

Guess the deciding factor for a lot of people will be if the Live and PSN versions (assuming they exist) have HD assets. It's possible that part of the retro feel is that everything is being drawn at a standard def resolution and 4:3 at default.

 

Wonder if the file size will be just as small as the NES games too.

It seems odd to me because the Arstechnica site post the news on the 27th without a source.

They have no source and are most likely basing it on a fake E3 site that was around. Again, it would make sense, but on the other hand Inafune is so keen on making this old school and keeping it as a NES game I wouldn't count on HD in new sprites

I've heard lot's of people saying that 16:9 wouldn't feel right in a 2D platformer, cause of the level design, makes sense, but don't know if it's 100% true

Looks like its the Wii version for everyone.

 

Mega Man 9: WiiWare ONLY - False alarm. Please, go ahead and disregard this morning's post regarding Mega Man 9 being available for the PSN and XBLA. Capcom have since removed those listings from their E3 lineup (calling it "a mistake"), and have confirmed the game will only be appearing on the Wii.

Changed the thread title :p

Lol I found that amusing... anyway we have nothing to fear! As Nintendo will be announcing a solution to the storage issue at E3... apparently >> it'll probably be the ability to read directly from SD card, well w/e it'll "solve" the storage issue at least, SD cards are cheap and you can get them up to 8GB + ?

Additionally, we've got some news to report. First, Capcom has confirmed to IGN that Mega Man 1 and 2 will be coming to the Virtual Console soon. And second, Mega Man 9 will also release for Xbox Live and PlayStation Network respectively. No, it's not a WiiWare exclusive, but nevertheless, it's going to make an excellent addition to the libraries of all three consoles.

The plot thickens....

This is as exciting as the Cristiano-Real Madrid-Manchester United Triple Threat DeathMatch style saga, with proximity mines taking place on the library levels against 2 cpu opponents.

Well all aside, I am happy that people who own a PS3 or a 360 can also enjoy this game.

 

Although it's annoying going to different forums where people are wanting now were the same people that were giving it shit because it was first stated for only Wiiware. Plus I think it's enough with the whole wanting this game HD >_<

I don't quite get the problem with the D-pad...the analogue stick works fine for all the 2D XBLA games that I have.
