Seeing as my avatar is Mega Man, it would be almost criminal for me not to post something about a little game called MEGA MAN 9! This was announced awhile ago, and GamesRadar got the first look, but in the last couple days more information has emerged about the game. For starters, this game is an actual old-school Mega Man game. From the graphics to the music, as this video demonstrates, Mega Man is back in his true form. A part of me would have liked to see a bit of a graphical update, similar to the GBA game Mega Man and Bass, but another part of me is giddy as a schoolgirl about the classic look. One thing that I believe to be spot on, however, is the music. I am totally ready to get these songs stuck in my head as I mercilessly perish for hours on end through seemingly impossible levels. One massive departure from the original 8 Mega Man games is that the glass ceiling has been shattered. That’s right, Splash Women (as in a robot with a vagina type women) will be a boss. That is what I call progress people!

To make this whole event even sweeter, Capcom announced they will be dropping this gem for 1,000 Wii Points (that’s $10 in a world that makes goddamn sense). Alright, time to bust out the FireNES and fuck up Heat Man’s world with a little bubble power until this puppy is released later in the fall!
