If JC's glowing Mega Man 9 impressions didn't get your heart pumping, we can only assume that you have no heart. (You might want to go and get that checked out.) As for the rest of us, who sit here clamoring for more Mega Man 9 -- ask, and you shall receive.
The video up top shows the opening for this WiiWare title, filled with Dr. Wily trickery. The story is completely cheesy in a "that's just how it was back then" way, making the game even more spot-on oldschool. (Also, take note of the Chun-Li lookalike. We love you, Capcom!)
After the break, you can check out some gameplay action and see all those disappearing blocks that JC mentioned. GameTrailers also talked a bit with Capcom developers to squeeze out a few more details on the title, so it's worth checking out. Just click on the blue link below and you'll see what we mean.

Oh my, this is so wonderfully old school I'm having flashbacks.
I love how Dr. Wily gives out the number of his Swiss Bank Account on national TV.

Of course I have no heart, I'm a robot. Doesn't mean I'm not excited for this game, though.

OK, I need a final answer. Is this WiiWare exclusive, or not?

No, not WiiWare exclusive. It'll also be available for PSN and XBLA.

No! Doctor Light, how could you?
I love how they trust a guy who has commited what are probably classified as major war crimes at this stage, over a guy who has had a hand in saving the world over and over again. These are the people who KEEP LETTING Wiley out of prison. This game will Rock, man.
...see what I did there?

Holy crap this game looks good.
Also, it's not working within the pallete limitations of the original NES.
NES style, not NES limitations. This makes me happy.
/goes to play mm2

I like the "video evidence" of Dr. Light just coming out and announcing that he's going to turn evil. And there's Dr. Wily with all of his tremendous... ACTING.... TALENT! And then he pulls a PBS and starts a pledge drive. A pledge drive! This is shaping up to be even better than I expected.

I like the slide and the Mega Buster....
I mean why take them out!? They were in every game 3/4 onwards..why take them out for the sake of "being like the first 2 games"
