Mega Man 9 to come out on WiiWare!

After 11 years, Capcom is releasing a sequel to the Mega Man series!

More information can be found at RockmanPM and Select Button!

The game will apparently be in the style of the old 8-bit games, which is even more retro than the later entries in the original Mega Man series. It looks like an NES game, which could be pretty cool if they make the game correctly. The fact that it's in that style but not actually an NES game means they're able to break any boundaries the NES had while still making a game in that style.

Too bad I'll have to play through 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 to get ready for this!
