Thats just perfect.

Considering how it is not a port of a NES game but a game that has been made from scratch, I'll say that's definitely a fair price.

There's some tough gameplay to be had in the early Megaman's and I reckon this one will also. I really hope it's as tough as the first game. It's well worth the price. I cannot wait to see some of the actual levels at E3.

Sounds good to me!
Not quite simple enough for a small price, and not extreme enough to hit 1,500 - a decent and attractive cost methinks!

I think people must be going utterly utterly mad with nustaligia.

GBP7.50 ???
For something that just seems to be a remaped or reimplimented version of the old game engine.

Good grief.

For that price Id at least expect a map editor, online exchange of levels,and maybe even a download to DS option.
Capcom are being extremely cheeky with this, just as they were with the old games.

Darkflame, there is going to be Downloadable Content, we're just not sure exactly what yet. Hopefully freebees rather that what Square-Enix has for MLaaK. Smilie

DLC is news to me.

Have you not seen some of the games that sell on XBLA for that same price?

It\'s not a NES game, it\'s a NES styled game running on different code, it has a increased pallete of colours, no restriction on sprite size and no slowdown and flicker, all while having better 8 bit styled sound. 1000 Wii points - I\'m sold.

1000 Wii Points is well worth the money for a game that will last longer than Lost Winds.

I hardly think $10 is asking too much. Heck, most SNES titles on the VC are what, two dollars cheaper for much older tech and games most of us already have?

I'd rather pay $10 for a game that seems to be better than average (though, I'll still want to read a few reviews first) than $50 for something ridiculous/awful.

I'm thinking it was revealed in a story from Famitsu, but don't quote me on that.

1000 points?
Well your points could be spent on worse, I'm happy with it. But this game won't make up for years of shitty megaman battle network games. Where are they going to go with megaman after this game?

Agul 11.07.2008#12

Personally, I think 1,000 Wii Points is a good deal for Megaman 9. I'm all for it.

As it turns out, IGNWii reports Megaman 9 is being released for XBLA & PSN, too. So much for WiiWare exclusivity. Who else here knew that was coming? I'm still waiting for the "Super Ultra Deluxe HD gfx with additional content & features" for the XBLA & PSN versions to be announced. Smilie

Chance favors the prepared mind.

Totally Fair! I'll take it.
