It's about $&*%ing time....Mega man 9

I'll link to my blog

If you don't want to read it my point was I want to play all the games I grew up on in new ways and a new look. I don't want rehash.

if I want a new 8 bit mega man game there are hundreds of rom hacks waiting for me. Just a few moments ago I was playing a Game made for Bass.

 

It became graphics at one point. Megaman 8 = pretty.

I'm thinking of just making the damn game myself and giving it away free online.

Capcom tends to view these things are fan art so I'm in the clear legally as long as I don't sell it.

Edit: I'm already asking around.

I AM going to make Mega Man 9 myself.

 

Don't speak about legalities unless you know what you are talking about... :fresh:

 

Maybe you could put Wo-Man as one of the robot masters

 

I already talked to the artist that made her and he said I can use his designs.

 

GoH, if you need someone to work on music let me know.

 

:lol: Don't get your hopes up, it's never going to happen.

 

I'll get this off the ground just to spite you

I do actually.

 

I'll give 50-1 odds on a playable level being produced...

I still want to do my own Mega Man though. But I'll drop the 9 from this one.

Maybe I'll call it gate way to X.

 

Leaked scans (referring to the AT article)? I've had the issue of Nintendo Power sitting in my bathroom for a week now... Hell, I thought all that information was common knowledge. :banghead:

 

i remember that one! how long ago was that

 

Uh huh, I bet... even if you do end up making something, it will probably be the gayest rom hack ever.

Whatever, see you were just shitting in the wind because you were mad that it wasn't going to be on XBLA, but now that it has been announced you're already singing a different tune.

 

I still dont see why the cant keep the game and everything the same as it is now, but improve the graphics a little bit. would it have really "ruined" the retro aspect to make the graphics on par with Megaman 8, hell, even on par with Megaman 7?? I mean, MM8 still PLAYS like MM's 1 - 7, its just way prettier. I dunno, i just view the graphics as being laziness on Capcom's part ( is capcom even developing this, is another dev making it and Cap just publishing?.

 

Yes.

 

I still want to make this game. it's a dream of mine.

But the ambition is lowered a bit.

 

The problem of it being on Wii? It's going to look like shit on my TV. Otherwise I think this is pretty cool.

 

Isn't it going to look like shit anyway?

Then again Mega Man games were never up until 7 about great graphics it was always the gameplay....and even here it looks like rehash.

They should have evolved the ideas presented in 7 and 9 Finding items and such. It would be nice if they gave mega X's wall climb ability.

I want new ways to play old games. Which is why I love Rom Hacks.
