We're trying to think of words to describe how we felt when we saw the
Mega Man 9 screens in the gallery below, but there's just
too much emotion to articulate. As if
the scans weren't legendary enough with their
retro, 8-bit goodness, the screens just make us downright
giddy. There's not much else to say, except that we're
so in love with Capcom right now.
Games Radar has some delightful details on the game, too, which just add some extra oomph to an already oomph-tastic game. For one, beloved
Mega Man designer Keiji Inafune was especially involved in the making of
Mega Man 9, even creating the bosses this time around. As for the story, it still revolves around our favorite villain Dr. Wily, but this time he has the public on his side, convincing them that Dr. Light is the bad guy. Silly public.
That's not all, though -- according to Games Radar, this game is
hard. Not
this hard, but still difficult. We say,
bring it. You know what else it has? A lot of
music from Mega Man 2, also known as
one of the best video game soundtracks of all time.
Lastly (but not least), Games Radar has the skinny on
Mega Man 9's bosses, including one that's a
woman robot named Splash Woman. Others include Galaxy Man, Jewel Man, Hornet Man, Tornado Man, Concrete Man, Maga Man, and Plug Man. Man alive, that's a lot of mans.
Now you can stop reading and look at the screens below. You might want to have some tissues handy, because they may just bring tears of joy to your eyes.

People seem to either fall in the "love it" or "hate it" camp for Red Steel. For some, the controls were a mess, but others felt that they worked pretty well after an hour or so of playing. If such mixed opinions initially scared you away from Ubisoft's launch game, you might be happy to know that you can now pick up the title for super cheap.
