Remember the thoughtful efforts of our affiliates 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..."


"Hidden treasure? Neat, I better take a look arOUND."


"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!

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

Previously was K.G. Inafunbags, Captain Heady, Damon Gant, and the guy who liked the blue bomber solely for the reason that he was blue.

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.

your a day early, Vix.

Lie it is TOTALLY unlike capcom to rip stuff off.
see: Okami and the art in R20.
sure its theirs to begin with, but they ripped the images from fan sites and stuff.

It would be a omen if the same thing happened this year.

Last year it was the forum's color change IIRC. The MM9 screen was after MM9 got a rating, and that was in June.

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.

Flame is right. Who knows. Capcom could have created sprites from other sources.
Shows how much they love fans and their creations.

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.
