Title: Our prayers are finally answered: X9 is coming!!
Post by: VixyNyan on March 31, 2009, 12:22:40 AM
Remember the thoughtful efforts of our affiliates MegaManX9.com (http://www.megamanx9.com/) that would hint Capcom to make a sequel to the X series? It looks like it finally paid off!! Due to the success of Rockman 9, a new X series game is coming out... in Super Famicom (SNES) style! o.o

An anonymous tipster sent us an e-mail, hinting that a couple of screenshots was recently uploaded to a Capcom Press folder. Hard to believe, but the quality was so surreal and so amazing, we were at loss for words.

"I believe I can fly, I believe I can touch the sky..."

(http://www.rockmanpm.com/i/x/rockmanx9/0062th.png) (http://www.rockmanpm.com/i/x/rockmanx9/0062.jpg)
"Hidden treasure? Neat, I better take a look arOUND."

(http://www.rockmanpm.com/i/x/rockmanx9/0121th.png) (http://www.rockmanpm.com/i/x/rockmanx9/0121.jpg)
"Ugh, these platforms... Hey, I better not be facing some Spike Raptor boss in here...!"

We were also told, that the theme of the game, and the title, is focusing on the continued removal of old-generation repliroids. The title that was given to us was "Rockman X9: Repuriroido no Shimetsu!", which means "Repliroid Extinction!".

It puts us at the point where Rockman X8 ended with a mysterious shiny piece being infested on Axl's head circuits. Closing in on the year 22XX, after Axl's recovery, new threats started to arise, where the reproduction of copy chips are showing up at a tremendous rate, and thus being able to breed new generation repliroids to replace the old. Can X, Zero and Axl find out who's behind this and stop any irregular crimes in the process?

Some features that would show up is a Database showing off all the characters and bosses that has shown up in the X series so far, along with a Time Attack mode to show off your records on leaderboards.

And it's been mentioned that Life Ups, Sub Tanks and Capsule upgrades are coming back in their original form, without having to buy them from some kind of shop feature.

DLC has been mentioned as well. What they were exactly is yet unknown, but we hope it's the same treatments as Rockman 9 or something more surprising.

The game is rumored to come out on PlayStation Network, X-Box Live Arcade and Wii Ware. The release date and price wasn't mentioned, but we hope it will be ready before the big anniversary.

We'll keep in touch if more information shows up.
More information showed up! (http://forum.rockmanpm.com/index.php?topic=1337.0)

I thought the answer to our prayers this year would have been the reveal of the MM9 secret and how to unlock it. Guess others didn't have the same prayers as I thought after all. And our prayers get answered earlier and earlier every year, don't they? 8D

Vixy, you forgot to mention how Capcom has decided to take the risk and release special edition Snes Cartridge versions in their next press kit.

And yet with all these creative ideas, it makes me wonder how the Mega Man hacking scene hasn't flourished like the Sonic one. I'd totally play a hack that looks like this.

...That said! Let's hope lightning strikes twice and we get an X9. Legends 3 would be a much more desired but still unobtainable alternative.

Hey, take it easy on BBD, just because he did the MM9 one it doesn't mean he'd do a MMX9 one too. Besides, we can easily point our fingers at Zan and Oakes too, they helped in both Rockman and Forte DS and Rockman Dash DS, or maybe all of them are guilty =P

I'm going to be honest here: This year's hoax wasn't all that great.

I could see it coming miles away.

Not to mention the fact that I don't WANT the X series to continue. Sure there's a bit left to explain between The X and Zero series, but I'd rather have it kept that way than Capcom to make a halfassed attempt at bridging the two stories just to appeal to retro-seeking gamers.

Hahah, well played. If this is a hoax, its the first one to get me in sometime around April 1st. I was caught off guard and seriously believing this until someone pointed out the date. I was ready to rattle off how dumb and tacky doing it in SNES style is, but then I remembered I liked the SNES style but I still think the retro thing is more annoying than cute after the first time.

But [tornado fang], if its real, awesome. Why not be hopeful? As long as its on the handhelds, I'm game, because I'm not paying an arm and a limb to play MM9 on a next gen [tornado fang]ing console.

I mean, just 3 screenshots and not so much as a magazine scan? not even a "tv'd" effect like the mm9 hoax. not too well put together. though I will admit the screens would make me want to play that nonexistant game!

Marino+Cinnamon is superior.

MM9 would like to have a word with you.

Retro MM9 is totally different from a Retro X9. Most of the Classic Series games were 8-BIT styled, and veteran gamers pretty much grew up with them. Not to mention it fits Classic the best.

The X Series, on the other hand, have been switching systems every 3 games. And MHX/X8 Style suited it greatly. Getting a retro X9 with the removal of dialogue between characters and Mavericks, removal of voice acting, and other stuff on the latest X games just seems wrong. I wouldn't mind an X4-6 styled X9 though.

On an unrelated note to that, I quote myself:

Cpapcom has nothing to do with this.

To tell you the truth, Cpapcom's life after the 'game' of two years ago was short lived as one employee got a burnout by harsh critics and another got fired. Something about being lazy, not meeting deadlines, resulting in the use of crappy program filters to texture a sprited background.

With one employee remaining, the division was disbanded. But, last year, our fired ex-employee did pull an abysmal prank with an impossible jump and shoot screenshot, a black background and a weird chimera... I suspect that ex-employee might have something to do with this too.

Umm... There hasn't really been that much progression in the series. There's been some extra things tacked on over the years, but the same can be said for any of the series, including Classic. Besides, there are those that prefer the smooth gameplay of the first 3 X games. If they could mix up some of the extras from later on in the series into the old style of basic gameplay, it would kick far more ass than a lot of the stuff they've done recently.

I have one thing to say to this:
Retro works great for MM9. It would /not/ work for X9. The X series has always been about progression, not regression. The graphics get better, the gameplay changes. I just cannot see; nor would I ever support; a X series installment that went back to the 8/16-bit days.

Well, the X series has always worked as a sort of guinea pig for Capcom's short and long-term intentions with Mega Man. Things like multiple playable characters, arsenal upgrades, optional bosses, 3D gameplay, tag-team, randomized level design, exploration quests all started with X and some of them will likely die with X.

The problem is that most of them started out as alpha at best, and they clearly promoted those games around (and around) these features, so general quality might have taken a hit in some cases. See X7...

As far as the Axl sprite goes, it's not made by Capcom, that's for sure. If anything is a giant tip-off, it's the hair. It's way too smooth and for that matter, light for that tone of color for Capcom's work. I wouldn't go so far as to say it's a flat out edit of Zero but probably heavily referenced. Another thing is that I don't think Capcom would have put that yellow thing-a-mabobby under Axl's chest gem. It's too thin and too small of a detail to matter or bother with in sheeting a sprite officially.

If anything, they would have taken that out. The only reason Zero has the yellow line at the top of his torso is to seperate his head from the chest, (If he didn't it would look like his head and chest are the same) it's exactly the same as when Nintendo made Mario's sprite the first time. The only reason he ended up with a mustache is because they wanted to seperate his nose from his chin.

As far as BBD, Zan or Oakie making it, I'm 99.99% sure that it wasn't Oakie. He's more or less sick of peoples comments on Apirl fools jokes and the lack of people treating them like jokes, and something to linch others for. Zan is a possibility, but he just said didn't do it. So, I'll take'em for his word, and BBD well, you'd think he's gotten tired of MM mock-ups, but I've been wrong before.

And I know I had nothing to do with it. It was the Sloth I tells'ya!

It could be anyone on this forum who knows how to sprite and has Mspaint. But If it is a joke, let's just sitback, relax and blame it on Canada and not be overly serious. :P

I don't believe Zero in X3 was primitive or executed poorly. He was almost like a videogame version of McGuffin! What I'm saying is that they tend to abuse the X series for every other new idea, and often they're not executed as perfectly as they sell them to us.

I didn't say produce; I said direct

Fantastic fascinating fabulous news!

I hope that Axl will get possessed and goes PEW PEW BLARGH until Lumine bursts out of Axl's exploding head and goes "Lol ancient idiots, I am gonna turn you all into popsicle!".

Unfortunately/fortunately my birthday is today as well.

Xtreme 2 and X5 and X6 had the same system, only that X6 limited how many chips you could equip depending on your rank.

Inafune really has nothing much to do with X5. He might have had a general idea of where the story was to go, but that's that. X5 was solely the responsibility of the team that also did Xtreme, Xtreme2 and X6. Why are you giving Inafune so much credit? He's just the guy that did some of the designs and drew  some of the art. That he became the father of Rockman is just because he stuck around from R1 to now. Even in the X-series he didn't have complete creative control until X4 and only X4.

In fact, he really didnt "create" megaman. Capcom already had  a basic idea of what he was supposed to be like, he simply made the final design. but the character Idea existed before he joined.

Well, from my general understanding (and that of every other person I can possibly know), Inifune is considered the father of Rockman.

I'll complain about whatever I want, whenever I want!

But, if you had actually made the entire Mega Man X 9 game all by yourself, then that would have been a funny joke.

They have no life and want to screw with people. I take jokes way too seriously...

I mean, if Capcom and every other gaming company makes jokes like this, how will the gamers take them seriously?

Lastly, Blizzard did something like this related to their new WoW expansion, Wrath of the Lich King but it was a class called Bard, which played hilariously like Guitar Hero crossed with a Rock Band Interface. Sure, it was an April Fool's Joke, but it would've been cool to rock out in Azeroth

The thing is, I laugh very, very easily (ie: Gotham's above post), and I don't get it.  A hoax is not a joke.  A joke has a punch-line, and/or something reasonably unexpected.  But RPM seems to get more and more unoriginal as the years go by.

They could have at LEAST had a screenshot thumbnail link to Gutsman's ass or something.  Same nonexistent originality with only a slight improvement on effort could have gone a long way.

its called whoever put it together didnt have the time to do more than 3 screens? if they had actually made another bootleg magazine scan, and maybe some quotes from "capcom people" then it would have been better. but this time, it was a bit too crude considering things like Rockman Dash DS, Rockman Forte DS, and the RM9 "screenshot" that BBD made.

Actually, I can still see a good laugh coming from this if I just think about how silly/"serious buisness" you unnamed few are being in response to an obvious prank.

God help you all if I start real pranks on you. ;D

Your point is what?  SNES-style X9 was old about four seconds after MM9 was confirmed.

Well, MM9 took the Classsic Series back to the NES, MMX9 should take the X Series back to the SNES.

No because I know I couldn't do any better.

Still it would have been less obvious if the prankster had made the Axl sprite themselves instead of stealing one from some yobbo.
