Quote from: Mega Man 9
During a year when the new-retro trend got its big commercial breakthrough, the Capcom-legend Keiji Inafune went further than anyone else, and produced a new Mega Man - adjusted to the limitations from 25 year old hardware. Mega Man 9 looked like a NES game, felt like a completely long nostalgia trip and was full of references to the end of the 80's. But at the same time, it offered a completely new experience. New, and ridiculously damn hard.

I scan it...



There is another article about Mega Man 9 on the same magazine on a different page.

I feel vaguely offended by MGS4 being game of the year. Didn't hear anyone speak of the gameplay as amazing, only the story.

One of the screenshots reminds me of the Mansion staircase from the first Resident Evil.

Yeah, the "scene selection" menu was very immersive.
Can't wait to see the movie's bonus features.

That's great the MM9 is that high on the list.

However, no way is Mario Kart Wii better than Brawl.

Mega's on the top 10. now we party.

Workshop/DA/YT/Photobucket なにかんがえてるの!?
So its about ass now huh? EVEN THE ASS HAS 'EXCEEDED'!

One mention of LEGENDS and everyone goes batshit.  :\

Yep, every time when someone mentions that game people get energized for an apparent reason whatsoever. It's like this everywhere else, trust me.

It got really messy to find my sprite and comic topic, so it's in my sig.

Online, yes. Everything else, [tornado fang] no. Also, I saw Boom Blox, LittleBigPlanet, and Mirror's Edge up there with fitting tag lines. These people know games.

Even online is iffy, in terms of what you can do.  Due to IP (Item Pussification), online matches with your friends are determined primarily on items, rather that skill.  Not to mention that 2nd & 3rd place get crap for items like Cloud AIDS, for example.  Random Mirror Mode sucks.  And lets not even get me started on what they did to Battle Mode.  The only thing MKWii has over Brawl is lack of online Lag.  That's about it.

I didn't want to go into specifics, but yeah, pretty much everything you mentioned here is true.

I like the list, it's a pretty neat idea to sort of "label" every game somehow.

MM9 is all the way up on mine, though.

Even if I love Mega Man, I love TWEWY more, so they could have changed place so rockman should be 9.

This list fails for not mentioning Advance Wars: Dark Conflict.

I am glad for Rock Man 9 though.  8)

Huh... I just saw a very similar article in a Finnish game magazine (Game Reactor) , where it got the 3:rd place in the downloadable games of 2008 section. Neat.  :D
(I was able to understand some of the text in the level 32 article.)
