It's the forums' 1-month anniversary!

I dunno about all you guyses countries, but "mental" can mean "crazy in a good way" over here,

Mine enjoys the likes of Lock Stock and Trainspotting, so I know!

Mentally illin' indeed. Sounds like an excellent name for a fusion dub group, too.

And hey, Prowl got a new lolicon avatar!

Heh, I figured that if anyone were to mention it, it'd be you. It's from the intro of the soon-to-be-released Mega Man 9. I just love her expression so much. I can't decide if it's "I don't wanna hear it!" or just a simple "DO NOT WANT!". The fact that she's giving that look while facing towards whatever I'm posting makes it doubly hilarious.

It's just way Mentally Ill, baby! [/fail]

God damn do I want to play Mega Man 9, but I lack a Wii and any kind of method to play it. Phooey.

It doesn't help that I'm not good at Mega Man games in general. The best I've ever done was in MM2, which I did recently finally beat--but only because I started using savestates towards the end. I can beat the Robot Masters just fine, I just can't beat the Wily levels.

[Misanthrope Prime]

I was really put off by the graphics of MM9. To me, it is not nostalgia but laziness. You haven't made a classic megaman game in years so you fake 8bit graphics?


Here's hoping the music is as good as before, though. The megaman series has some good ass music.

MM2's Wily's Castle theme, anyone?

[Onslaught Six]

Well, I happen to have really disliked the later entries in the Classic series--MM7 did absoloutely nothing for me, although half of that could just have been shitty Robot Master design. MMX and such is a different case altogether.

Besiding that, as far as I can tell, most of the level graphics are new. I just wanna know why they seem to be using the MM1 Mets as opposed to more detailed and better ones from MM2 or MM3. And the Robot Masters definitely have to have new graphics by default.

Didn't one of the trailers have some music to it? It sounded pretty kickass from what I remember.

[CrossRook]

Mental over here has a tendency to "fucked up in the head", "psychotic", or generally messed up.

[BWprowl]

I'm hoping they make the graphics as agressively old-school as possible. I want the sprites to *flicker*. I want to see some *slowdown* at some point. If you're gonna do it this way, take it ALL the way. Then I'll be impressed.

Of course, I'm also really hoping for a hefty challenge to match its classic look. Frankly, if I'm not inventing new swear words by my fourth Robot Master, I will consider this game a failure.

I have no idea what's going on in this thread anymore. I stopped trying to figure out videogames around...1997, I think.

If you're all shitting me about there being a Mega Man 9, you better admit it RIGHT_NOW.

I've been wanting another old school MM since X6 turned me MENTALLY ILL. And if it's for Wii, I'll just buy it and play it on my ladyfriend's sister's one. Extended family for the winnings!

This truly is a wondrous anniversary.

It's going straight to the Virtual Console, Playstation Network and Xbox Arcade.

They even went out of their way to make completely irrelevant box art for a game with no box. And, you read right, Splash WOMAN.
