Topic: Nintendo Power announces Mega Man 10

[Acid]

They are milking you poor sap's nostalgia, thats what.

I'm OK with that.

[Protoman Blues]

I'm OK with that.

As am I.  Like I said when MM9 came out, they can keep going with these 8-Bit Games, and I'll keeping buying them.  The only reason I stopped buying NES games is because they stopped making them!

[Black Mage J]

Exactly my point.

[Protoman Blues]

The X series is different.  Sure, I'd love a 16 Bit X game, but my preference is still for them to make a new high end high def X game with graphics that put most newer games to brown shame!

But with Classic, give me my 8-Bit NES Chiptuned Sex Heaven all the time.

Considering all the 8-bit MM fangame projects flying around, I agree with you 100% on this.

Also, CentaurDuckie's Sheep Man drawing is a work of pure art.

Call me Rad, and thank you. :V

I think they just learned that the others didn't work out as well as the old 8-bit games, so they've gone back to that, it worked, why not do it again until they can't anymore and close the gap.

Personally I think 8 worked out a hell of a lot better than 9.  But 9 was good, and 10 has ProtoMan without having to pay extra, so I'm damn well giving it a shot.

And who am I kidding, I'll buy any non-BN/SF MegaMan at this point.  Hell, I just downloaded Rush Marine (that's the Action/Adventure department for you Verizon users out there) so that I could cramp my thumbs playing on my craptacular 176x220 screen.

You already are very bitter.

I can grumble some too if you want...

I think it's more of a case of Inti being lazy.

Who is it that tells Inti what they want to see in the next Megaman game? Who is it who specifically had Inti make an 8 bit 9?

They are milking you poor sap's nostalgia, thats what.

which is what worries me.
because SNES X9, wont be as cute now that we have 2 retro titles. It might be fun, oh yes, it could be great, but it would be a very bad Idea storywise. (And spritewise. Seriously, Zero and that X3 armor...) SNES cant handle the X series anymore.

[Black Mage J]

SNES cant handle the X series anymore.

In my OPINION, it never could.

[Jericho]

... sprites have bearings on the game's story now?

[Protoman Blues]

Oh man, imagine if MM10 has Broken MM3 Rush Jet...

[Jericho]

Oh man, imagine if MM10 has Broken MM3 Rush Jet...

Then people would [sonic slicer] about it breaking the game and how MM10 sucks because it's newer. Mind you some of these folks probably adored MM3 when it came out years ago.

[Flame]

... sprites have bearings on the game's story now?

the sprite style. You will never see an SNES X1 with X8's cutscenes. Or with long dialogues between bosses and characters and such. The sprite style affects more than just the general look. It affects how the story can be told.
If theres one thing that Capcom has stuck to with the retro style, is its limitations.

In my OPINION, it never could.

As far back as X1, Zero was inaccurately sprited. And I think MHX proves your point as well...

[Hypershell]

Oh man, imagine if MM10 has Broken MM3 Rush Jet...

Dammit, PB, stop filling our heads with pure win that is far too orgasmically good to be true.

In my OPINION, it never could.

It could.  In X1.  Then they redesigned Zero.

We had this discussion already and it lead noweher. And no matter how many times we bring it up NOTHING will ever change because it is ENTIRELY SUB-JEC-TIVE.

[Black Mage J]

Well if one of the characters say "You have a scarf" and the character they are talking to does not have a scarf, thats a problem

[Protoman Blues]

Nonsense.  Anything can be done in these here gameys.  Just imagine it like Chrono Trigger DS.  They has the SNES style game and put in the PS1 Anime Cutscenes. Why couldn't they do that with an SNES style X game?

[Rock Miyabi]

Me in fantasy Monsteropolis-land -> Wouldn't it be awesome if Ariga's Gigamix art contest was really Inafune's sneaky way of holding a Robot Master contest without anyone realizing it? And one of us actually did get one of our creations in this game?! And it will be announced during the worldwide birthday extravaganza?!

Me back to reality -> This is baaaaaaaaaaadass.  Forget the MM9 Press Kit, now that image is something worth paying $200 for in retro cardboard box form. 

[Rad Lionheart]

Why do we always get shot back to the same discussion of X9 and 16-bit and/or 32-bit?

Absolutely agree on both Fantasy & Reality Miyabi points!

[Black Mage J]

Because you know everyone loves it.

Simply because X1-3 didnt have them. Capcom is pretty insistent on making them TRUE NES games. If they could they would sell them on cartridges.  The same would apply to the X series if they made it SNES again.

[Acid]

All that MMX needs for storytelling is a big black box with text.

End of story.

[Jericho]

Because at this point, it's probably the last real controversy that the Rockman/Megaman fanbase has to poke each other with sharp pointy sticks about.
