Megaman 9

[shaggy]

Who bought it?  Do you like it?  I picked it up and it brings back great memories.  The music is just like back in the NES days and the game is hard as hell!  Or maybe I haven't played it enough.  All in all I like this game.  The challenges are a neat addition, too.  The downloadable might not be worth it but we will find out when that releases!!

Jeremy Parish does an excellent job of explaining how well done Mega Man 9 is.

I'm a huge fan of MM9. There's a good chance this could end up as my new favorite Mega Man.

I am giddy with anticipation to get this game tomorrow when it comes out on PSN.

I feel defeated by this game.  I'm usually good at Mega Man games, but on this one I can't even get to a boss room.  It seems to be very much based on memorization, whereas in the other games you could at least kinda fight your way through to the end.

I still like it, though.  I need a real challenge.

MM9 was seriously well designed. Even though a lot of the puzzles have obvious solutions, it's still hard to actually DO them.

I picked it up within minutes of upload. I got to the final Wily battle the other night, but had zero E-Tanks and gave up for a while. I've seen the ending, but I'm going to try to finish it again sometime soon and get to work on a few challenges.

It looks great to me, I'm definately going to download it once I get a PS3


Ooooh, 1000 posts...

So, I tried out the demo that came out on the European Playstation Store, and all I have to say is "HOLY SHIT!" Incredible game. It really doesn't feel like a cheap ploy to tap into nostalgia, it feels like they really took their time and set out to craft a true period piece, but adding in some modern features like online leaderboards.

I'll have more impressions later once the full game is actually put up for sale in America sometime later today. However, based on this demo alone, I order EVERYBODY on this site who has a Wii, PS3, or 360 to download this game NOW (or next week if you're a 360 owner)! You will not regret it.

Capcom has done the greatest job of any 3rd party publisher making the transition to downloads on consoles. 1942: Joint Strike, Bionic Commando Rearmed, and Mega Man 9 are all excellent games. I cannot wait for them to finally get Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix out there.

There's a DEMO? How do I get it?

[Tondog]

There is on PS3 and I presume 360 will get one next week when the game comes out on there. Wii does not have a demo of the game since Nintendo doesn't let devs do that.

I just bought the game and it is now downloading!

Now downloaded and installed!

I agree.  This game is HARD!!!

Couldn't have said it better. I've only gotten past Galaxy Man so far.

I never liked Mega Man for that sole reason of difficulty. God damn it, I want to have fun. Although granted I love Ninja Gaiden, probably shoulda given MM some more time.

Possibly one of the hardest games I've played in quite some time.

Finally beat the game. And I beat the final level without using any E-Tanks or M-Tanks, so I'm really happy with myself.

It just proves how games have become easy with in-game hints, save-everywhere functions, etc...
Or maybe we gamers have become lazy and the devs are simply making what we're asking for.

It's nice to see a new hard game, it's like a breath of fresh air, really
