Muh-Muh-Muh-Mega, Muh-Muh-Muh-Muh-Mega Man!
360 Fans, now it's your turn. Go download the game right now. Come on. GO!
The Blue Bomber is back and he's kicking ass and taking names. Dr. Wily goes on TV and tries to ruin Dr. Light's good name. Sound familiar? Doesn't Dr. Wily know by now that using dirty tactics like this can backfire and people will continue to see him as a tool? Sheesh.
Anyway, I'm predicting that Mega Man 9 day 1 sales (including all platforms) will break records. Thanks for all your support! We're planning some very cool things for the fans at Capcom-Unity, so stay active. (oh, a little "Beat" told me that 200 of something just got in. Will you be one of the lucky ones? I know Unity members will be, oops...shhh)

So if Mega Man fought E.Honda, who do you think would win? Gamespot is hosting the Capcom Universe Character Battle where you get to vote who would win various dream matchups between characters from Age of Booty, Mega Man, Flock, Rocketmen, Street Fighter, Resident Evil, Bionic Commando Rearmed, 1942, Devil May Cry and Onimusha. There will be 6 rounds of matchups (1 round a week) leading to who you believe is the ultimate ass whooper.

It's finally here! Mega Man returns to his 8-bit roots in this 9th entry of the original storyline. It only makes sense, since Mega Man had his start on the NES, that Mega Man 9 is available first on Nintendo's WiiWare. (That and the fact that NOA releases content on Mondays) :)
Go ahead and download it now, play for about 30 minutes and come back here and give me your first impressions. Is it too difficult? Are your reflexes still as sharp as they were 21 years ago? Are you too young to appreciate the old school goodness of this new NES title? What game in the series does this most resemble?
If you have any questions, I'll try my best to answer them. If I don't know, I'll get the info.
This game, from the cheesy marketing to the disappearing blocks, is a love letter to the hard core fans. (Awww...love letter). I'm honored to be a part of this game that has the potential to start a new trend in the industry. On behalf of Capcom, I appreciate all your support for this game. Without further ado, I introduce to the world Mega Man 9. (Wow, now THAT was cheesy)

Are you all excited as I am for the release of Mega Man 9? Well, I know the anticipation is killing you. Here's what you do. Go download Mega Man 2 on the Virtual Console. Play all weekend to get your skills up to par. Then download Mega Man 9 and be a speed run master. Who knows, maybe there will be leaderboards or scoreboards for that kind of stuff. I'm just sayin', it would be cool, wouldn't it?
Anyway, read this review of Mega Man 2. 9.5??? What? If any game deserves a 10...
