XZero Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 With regard to the downloadable content that is forthcoming, I agree that it should have been in the game to begin with. There's an interesting episode of "Bonus Round" on Gametrailers.com where they talk about the future of the industry and the downloadable content is mentioned. Using it, a game that starts at $40 costs $60 or even more by the time the "full game" is compiled. I may get the Protoman pack, but as a rule, I don't support miscellaneous downloadable content that should have been included in a game to begin with. Even without that stuff, Mega Man 9 is fine on its own. On another note, how many of you downloaded MM9 the second it was made available at 12:00 today? It took about 0:30 to download, and I'm wondering how many 'copies' were sold by 12:01. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Author Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 FUCK YOU DISAPPEARING BLOCKS! FUCK YOU AND DIE!Hate you... so much... You will love them. I lost 7 lives on one part of the fortress's first stage. 7 lives. Then I made it to the boss and yelled in pain as I went from 0 to continue.

Penfold Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 On another note, how many of you downloaded MM9 the second it was made available at 9:00 today? It took about 0:30 to download, and I'm wondering how many 'copies' were sold by 9:01. Fixed for Pacific Time . And yeah, that's pretty much what I did as well haha (more or less...got it by 9:05). On the topic of DLC, I don't see anything in that list that would particularly appeal to me anyway, so it's rather moot from my perspective.

Avatar of Justice Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 If all that DLC is for real, one could argue you are actually getting a good deal. If you're me, you don't give a shit about any of that stuff except maybe the Protoman download. I get exactly what content I want, instead of being charged the entire price for a bunch of crap I don't care about. Sort of the same reason I wish I could get ala carte television programming. Remember, we used to pay $50-60 for a full Mega Man game. $12 for a Mega Man game with Protoman is a bargain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoloGamer Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 I'm waiting to see if the Xbox 360 version is as good. Then I'll decide between it and the Wii version tomorrow... It doesn't come out until next week, Oct. 1st. also, from the IGN review: While we're on the subject of 360 though, we need to make a note that each of the versions of Mega Man 9 will look slightly different, since Wii's build looks to be a direct NES port of sorts, with the HD versions having a slightly smoother, but also higher contrast -- not as "NES-like" -- presentation. You're going to get the same experience on every version overall, but those that want to sit down and critique the truly minimal differences between the builds will find that the emulation between the three versions is going to differ ever so slightly. The Wii version has more of the 8-bit look overall to it, but that also means there are harder edges, and a more pronounced "blocky" look. Is that a good thing, or bad? In the end, it's going to be personal preference, but as die-hard fans who grew up with the Blue Bomber, we prefer the Wii emulation, as it's truest to form.

I'm this close to beating Majora's Mask, and Gamefly just sent me The Force Unleashed.

That just might force me onto the Wii version. I think the same thing happened with Sonic 1 and 2, and I couldn't stand how they looked on the 360.

VerSus22 Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 the graphics are bad The developer did the 8-bit graphics for a purpose. This is why current game reviews suck dick.

XZero Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Apparently, Mega Man 9 sold 60,000 copies in a single day, outselling the lifetime sales data of most WiiWare titles and Virtual Console titles. Can't wait to see how many are sold within the first week. Here's the source, btw: http://news.vgchartz.com/news.php?id=2096 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
