Shortly after the release of Mega Man 9, as fans were discovering loads of great secrets, I made an innocent little post, mentioning an as-yet-undiscovered nugget in the game.
The Mega Man-loving internets were not pleased that a secret might have escaped their all-seeing eyes, and rolled up their collective sleeves to unearth the nugget. I've been completely blown away by their response, which has generated a virtual encyclopedia of amazing little Mega Man tricks and trivia (the video above is just one small part of the total).
Though they haven't discovered the it yet, I did want to say that everyone at Capcom is impressed by the research, and offer this: Based on what I've seen so far, I'd say you're about halfway towards discovering the secret.
Most Mega Man fans want to strangle me for not spilling the beans, but I <3 mysteries and they're getting pretty rare in the internet age. I didn't intend to torture anyone when I mentioned it so long ago, and I'd advise you to just let it go if it's driving you nuts, but to those still searching, I promise that:
-the secret is not a snipe hunt, macguffin, or otherwise faked.
-I will tell you when it is discovered.
-AFAIK (and I keep tabs), it has not yet been discovered.
Wow, that guys is nuts. Very fun to watch.
JohanzAnd some ultimate secret eh? I hope you make a blog post about it and link to the guy who discovers it first, or the community that does it first. I still haven't completed MM9, the Wily-stages are just too hard for me, and this is like the first MM-game that I have really played alot. I don't mind hard games but MM9 is just vicious in the way that I have to complete all the Wily-stages in one sitting!
