Mega Man 9 producer Hironobu Takeshita fought the good fight with clueless Capcom executives and saved us all from the dreadful 3D graphics creep that’s doomed many a classic franchise from times past. If only he could have saved Bionic Commando from a similar fate later this year. See also: Sonic the Hedgehog.

I’ve been playing World of Goo like nobody’s business these days, but this cool stop motion Mega Man 9 video (er, Rockman 9, sorry!) has me itching to pick that game up and play through again.

Capcom rang the Infendo HQ phone this morning with details about the launch of its Mega Man 9 DLC (wave number two). Harder difficulties (it gets harder?!) and a new boss stage top this list. Hard Mode ”“ Dubbed Hero Mode in Japan, this mode enables you to play the entire game on an increased difficulty level with alternate enemy distribution and spawning points.

One week ago today, Mega Man 9 sold a healthy 60,000 digital copies via WiiWare. Now, one week later, the title has continued to show promise, with 140,000 copies sold and $1.4 million in revenue. That’s a pretty good chunk of change for Capcom. The game was inexpensive to produce (and I’m talking strictly time, not talent), and was a blast to play, so here’s hoping other develop...

Time elapsed until I uttered by first swear word while playing Mega Man 9 for the first time: 20 minutes. Now, don’t consider this an official review by any stretch of the imagination, but nonetheless my first impression of the new Rockman title is that it’s delivered the goods and them some. High difficulty, fun enemies, unlockable achievements (!), and some memorable (and forgettable...

People who hate DLC turn away, because Mega Man 9’s virtual instruction manual contains a DLC schedule with pricing and storage info. The good news is the DLC is not necessary to play or enjoy the game. You get a full game with Mega Man 9, but if you want to ramp up the difficulty, you’ll have to pay for it. Lame?

Mega Man 9 hits this Monday, September 22. It arrives on WiiWare first, then PlayStation Network, and finally Xbox 360. I’ve been preparing for this day for a while now, and I very well may skip work Monday to play this ambitious new– er, retro-new title– all day.

OK, I totally lied. Here’s more Mega Man 9 goodness in the form of the official English intro and the item store, which has a retro look but was actually inspired by Mega Man titles post-Mega Man 2. I’m excusing my broken promise about no more Mega Man 9 posts with a new justification: Hopefully all this neo-retro coverage inspires other big name publishers to revisit old 8-bit titles ...
