Nintendo Wii Fanboy

Don't forget deBlob!

dude....MM9 FTW! There is NOTHING else!

The staggered release is going to help the Wii version since it is the first released, but the biggest factor has to be that the Classic Controller is the best suited to a game like this. MM9 on Wii FTW!

Wouldn't the Wii remote sideways be the best option?

I'm not familiar with the control scheme(s) yet, but I would think that since it is design as an NES game, the NES control option would be best.

Unfortunately, the many casual gamers probably will pay Megaman little mind. And I'll be honest, I'm not getting it today, I don't have money to; and I might not get it, not a Megaman fan myself. I'll admit it's a popular game, but not everybody loves it. In fact, I refuse to download ANYTHING else until Nintendo gives me more storage. I'm completely sick of deleting/moving stuff.

If I had more space, I would probably grab a Wii Points card and give this one a try. Congrats, Nintendo, you're now making Capcom lose money, haha. (Plenty of space on my 360, maybe I'll get that version.)

@Sonic, maybe the remote will be better for the classic feel, but I prefer the larger D-pad and control of the classic controller. I'm not sure what Wii gamers will choose more, but it seems both the remote and VC controller are much preferred to the 360's dinky D-pad.

So noon for a lot of us, 11, 10, and whatever the hell Arizona is on for others.

No way.

I've got all the Wario love right here. In fact, I'll be out today to get it and out again on Saturday to compete in the WarioLand tournament!

... So it's not actually there yet.

Dammit. xP

I downloaded it literally the minute it was up. :P I love it so far.

I died at the Jewel Man mini boss once, but I didn't have any problem with him the second time. Once you know to jump (as high as you can) it's not that hard.

Glad to hear that it doesn't take up much space.
I just bought my first (and only) Wiiware game (Helix), I have never bought/downloaded any VC games, and yet Helix alone took up 1/3 of my Wii's available memory. One Wiiware game. 1/3 of the Wii's entire memory space. That's just insane. I really like Helix, it's a fun and a surprisingly effective workout tool, but 1/3 of the system's entire memory? That's just ridiculous and sad. Here's to hoping Tetris Party and Bomberman Blast are small, or else I'll be having free space issues in no time and may be forced to either make a choice between the two games or to do the Wii to SD shuffle (which I am not looking forward to).

Ah, thank you! I'll keep jumping in particular in mind when I go through again.

Helix takes up over 400 blocks?? That's crazy. I didn't think any game took more than 200-250 blocks.

Final Fantasy didn't even come close to that.

To Sonic_13...
I just checked. It takes up 308 blocks, leaving me with 606 left. I do have all the free channels (including the internet channel), but Helix is my only game.

SBCG4AP Episode One took up 319 blocks. I don't know about Ep 2 though.

Interesting.... (I was just estimating 400 based on memory figures I had calculated a while back).


Anyone know how many blocks MegaMan 9 takes up?

@Sonic_13

66 blocks when downloaded.

Saying it's basically a new NES game so it should be as cheap as the old NES games is like saying Final Fantasy XII should have been like $20 at launch because Final Fantasy X was a Greatest Hits game. Mega Man 9 is more expensive because it's a brand new game that hasn't been making money for like 20 years.

The DLC is pure price gouging, though.
