Title: Mega Man 9 on WiiWare. You are all in for a shock.
Post by: Nintega Turbine Trio-CBS on June 28, 2008, 02:07:59 AM
For all of us who grew up playing the side scrolling Megaman games, this is kickass. BUT............
I think Capcom went batshit insane. Do they really think most of today's gamers will give a new Megaman game with NES-style graphics a chance? Especially when there are tons of NES Megaman rom hacks with different level designs and graphics all over the net. Hell Megaman now is as niche as Romance of the Three Kingdoms compared to the "gangsta", pre-k games, and the shit load of FPSs and MMOs everyone is now into. WiiWare or not, Capcom isn't going to make anything off of that. This could be the last Capcom game we'll ever see....

Yep, one Wiiware game will kill a multi billion dollar company :roll: Megamna as niche?? I have seen nothing but positive comments for the most part about this idea/game. Why is it that peps have been doing so much bashing of the modern consoles ( ironic for someone who just the other day denied making the pre K, and gangsta game comments REPEATEDLY), yet when a company tries a retro angle on a well liked series they bash that ALSO??? I personaly am glad to see Capcom try this route, especially in a way that is much more dev. friendly ( at least $ wise).

Don't forget that there were a number of older gamers whom had bought the Mega Man Anniversary Collection (for the GameCube, PlayStation 2, and/or Xbox) to relive their old memories of playing these titles (among other reasons such as that their copies of the actual game(s) are unable to work, they wanted to complete their stash of them the easy way, etc.). A few younger ones, I can bet, too, have been able to explore (and even enjoy) the series by this mean (like me :wink:).
The rom hacks might actually show a greal deal of interest in the series in general, since the bits never really change too much from the original (if they can, that is :-k).
Capcom's not likely to stop making games or go out of business because of the release of one title that would do poorly, if that's what you're suggesting. Keep in mind that they have the Resident Evil, Devil May Cry, and Phoenix Wright series running pretty strongly right now, and Street Fighter IV and Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix are in the workings currently. A lot of folks have been anticipation a Mega Man 9 for a while now, and I think it'll definitely sell well once it's released.

I couldn't reply to this earlier, but since it does appear to be what it looks like...
Are you suggesting that one game could single handedly destroy one of the biggest publishers around? Even though its one of the biggest series around, developed on the cheapest budget ever, releasing on the biggest console and sold for the cheapest price possible?
And even if this bombs, how can Capcom not make any money off of this? Its seems like a no-lose situation to me.

Agreed 100%. Development costs will be extremely low because of the sheer number of recycled resources, and publishing costs will be near zero because of digital distribution -- so no matter the outcome, Capcom is likely to make good money on this.
(And Nintega: your comparison between Mega Man and Romance of the 3 Kingdoms is absolutely ludicrous. The average gamer is in their thirties and almost certainly remembers at least one Mega Man game, particularly since the series has appeared on nearly every platform released since the Famicom/NES.)

That's hilarious - Capcom's existence hinges on the success of a game that cost pennies to develop (compared to their multi-million dollar productions). That's like me losing my five dollar buy-in at a penny ante poker game; oh noes, now I'm bankrupt and living in a van down by the river. :roll:

I had thought that even you could appreciate this Keranu. :( Its the same as Hudson giving us Neutopia III in PCE aesthetics.
I'm assuming that this is going to basically be made as more or less an actual Famicom game and the only reason its going straight to WiiWare (aside from getting to sell it for a few dollars more and stand out more) is so that it can support the kinds of special features that people have been demanding from Virtual Console.

I'm under the impression that they won't be coding this with actual NES-style dev kits. I think the graphics are just in the same style. In other words, don't be surprised if certain graphics start scaling, rotating warping or whathaveyou.

In another thread, I did give appreciation to the idea of using NES graphics. However coming from Capcom's history and very little details about the game so far, it's hard to say if this is going to be a cool, well made sequel or if it's just going to be another Mega Man rehash, so I'm skeptical. On the other hand, with this game being in the official, original series, maybe they will put a lot of dedication into it, but I would think that they would release it on a physical format if that was the case. I'm also curious as to how much they will charge for this game; I'm placing bets on no less than 1,000 Wii Points. Even not being a Mega Man fan, I am very interested in this game for the fact that they are going for 8-bit graphics (and I hope 8-bit linear gameplay too!).

Exactly. I'd love a game to stick to 8-bit conventions... but then throw in some non-8-bit craziness every now and then that. For example, I think it would be great if they had NES PSG tunes as well as unlockable, remixed versions of the same songs.

one thing to be aware of is the fact that this is being developed by inticreates - the developers behind the mega man/rockman zero series. consider this a huge positive and a huge promise of quality game design. inticreates is the first and only dever to helm the series and apply quality game design and level design (and i'm even including the original team(s) in that lump).
i'm stoked :)

I really don't think that the game will (or should) surpass NES graphic limits, other than maybe being free of slowdown/flicker and perhaps pushing extra sprites. I also think that it must have NES music as at least an optional soundtrack, if not the main one.
Its also coming to PS3 and 360, so I'll at least test out the 360 demo first.

The game will have 8-bit style graphics and music (in mono) complete with flickering and slowdown until you make it through a few levels and to a certain point when all of a sudden a huge, high-res boss comes slamming down. It shakes the screen so hard that the music in sound are now CD quality, in stereo, the flicker is gone and the slowdown is eliminated as well. But you're still 8-bit. The boss also has a few polygons. After you beat this boss you get the higher-bit weapon or whatever it will be called which, when equipped, turns you into a higher-res Mega Man as well as the stages themselves. This allows you to see much more detail in stages you've already beaten so you can find those hidden power-ups as well as achievements/trophies to enlarge your online e-dick!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Update: Capcom pinged us to let us know that the game is currently slated "for WiiWare only" and that the information indicating otherwise in the E3 roster was a mistake on its part."
I don't really have a problem with games that decide to go multiplatform though. If they do however, I prefer for each version to have something unique to it to make it worth getting.

Yes. I've been able to see the content, now, too. It does look exciting indeed :). If it is as hard as it's stated, then I may have a bit of a challange for myself :P. I'm not too fond of there being a woman robot master, really, since it doesn't seem to "fit" or "be right" for the Mega Man series (although I realize it is a unique idea for the game). The shop feature may appeal or not. It's good to see that it's coming out this fall.

Here's (http://gonintendo.com/?p=48628) some footage of the game in action with NES music. I'm not familar enough with all the 8-bit games to say whether or not the music is new, but it does look fairly certain now that the game is going to be fully NES-like without any kind of noticible upgrades.

They should also release a real NES version for $20 or something. I'd rather spend $20 on a real NES game than $10 on a Wiiware game. I demand that everyone agree with me on this.

I'd pay $50 for a real NES cart if the game is new/original. Even if it has some recycled content like Megaman. But I'd also expect some professional packaging. If NES or Famicom carts make a comeback, I'd hope they'd adopt a new standard of clamshells similar to SMS/Genesis games.

1) NES games don't flicker constantly, especially not in screens with 0 - 2 enemies. :P
2) Thats like 4 - 8 frames of animation (just like Megaman's end of stage warp). If they programmed it to have the Wii render it instead, it would be much more work and probably wouldn't line up as well.

Yeah I was suprised to see that they used premade frames for that rotation. Judging from the screenshots of it I saw before the video, I thought for sure that was going to be done with the hardware.

Post by: Joe Redifer on July 08, 2008, 08:59:44 PM
I am not seeing ANY rotation ANYWHERE in the clip. Perhaps you guys are confusing the little animation he does when he is on the Dr Mario pill? That's definitely not rotation, more like "swinging" and there is no hardware with built-in "swinging".

Capcom has changed their mind again and MM9 is back on 360/PS3.
Although there are some nice touches here and there, its still nothing an NES couldn't do... except that quick dragon clip looks like flicker has likely been eliminated.
It also looks like Capcom has brought back the technology used in the Arcade version of Ghouls 'N Ghosts to enable Megaman's feet to walk behind the grass.
The swinging technology would still require the extra frame of Megaman's back as he comes around the other side.
I like the retro theme of the trailer with the pixelated gradients that accompany the silhouettes. It looks like Capcom actually cares about "hardcore" game players.

I believe Godzilla on NES took place in 20XX (and I love that game). Strangely enough, 19XX featured technology unavailable in the 1900's! Same goes for 1944 and probably to a lesser extent the other 1940's games.

here's an interview with someone who's not actually one of the creators of the new game, but he is really close to the project (producer), so the info is pretty pertinent and interesting to read: http://www.1up.com/do/previewPage?cId=3168726&p=44

I'm so excited about Megaman 9! I can't wait for it to come out! And I think it's cool that they went back to 8-bit. That's awesome. You don't need modern day graphics to make a game good. This is gonna be one of the best games to ever hit The Wii, and probably one of the best games in years. This guy made a great point about it most likely to be better than today's games in this video:

Still this person isn't thrilled about MM9 :roll: I'm interested in MM9 but not every body is excited.

capcom only had the wiiware version playable at the show, but showed video of the ps3 and 360 versions there, too.

He's just ranting if he doesn't like it then he won't play it simple as that.

As much as I hate Mega Man, I almost feel compelled to buy it when it comes out. Might be useful for my Crapcom article.

It also turns out that the game had more complex graphics at one point, but Inafune made them simplify them.

Quote from: the article
HT: Yeah, the equipment used to make the Famicom games really doesn't exist anymore.
This makes me very sad. A piece of history lost. :cry:

I think adding in glitches is a pretty interesting, but dumb move; however it's negligible considering it's optional. Also, I wonder how long Mega Man 9 is going to be, especially since the interview revealed it would be too big for the NES? I'm pretty excited for this game, though at the same time, cautiously optimistic; however, I feel it will be at least the best Mega Man since the third installment.

Yeah. I would kill for the "Ultrasound Graphics Synthesis" box... especially on a real NES cart. Oh well. I hope someone makes more new "retro" games in the vein of the SMS, TG-16 and even Genesis. That would rock.

I expect this game to be recreated by fans in a Famicom rom within a few years. Hopefully one of those rom on a cart guys can piece together the hardware to make it work within a regular NES cart.
