Well, I don´t know what to think.
Capcom had the chance to make an epic game of MegaMan 9... however, we will get a "new" NES game.
Now, don't get me wrong... I believe Rockman 9 will be a fun game. but I take it as if Capcom got tired of being asked all these years for a MegaMan 9... and they just said: "well OK, you want a MegaMan 9? *fingers snap* OK, here it is."
They had the chance to create a whole new experience. What about classic MegaMan action but with anime footage like the animation used on MegaMan X7, MegaMan X8 or Command Mission (from GIZA Studio).
MegaMan is for me, a very deep character that CANNOT be longer portrayed as an 8-bit character.
So far, what I've read about the development team is that they're proud of creating a new 8-bit game. Grapics, sound... everything... but c'mon... the game will feature add-ons that couldn´t fit on a REAL 8-bit game... Ok, so it won´t be a real new NES game, it will be only a look-alike NES game. Of course it must include online features etc etc. Heck, even amateurs can now-a days create an 8-bit game.
I feel frustrated because I was expecting something different. Will not even hit the shelves. No special edition for instance...
I love the character, I love the series, I grew up with MegaMan, but this is not what I was waiting for since 1997.
Will I buy it? Of course. I support the franchise. But after Battle Network and Star Force series I was expecting something bigger for the franchise, a real cinematic experience. I'll have to wait maybe for another decade then.
