Capcom announces Mega Man 9

reported Jun 28, 2008 by Brian Ambrozy

A forum member at The Mega Man Network scanned in some pages from Nintendo Power showing the new Mega Man 9, which is supposedly getting released simultaneously on WiiWare, Xbox Live Arcade, AND the Playstation Network - making this the first triple-release game on DLC networks ever.

The most exciting part of Mega Man 9 appears to be the return to the roots thing. Keiji Inafune, Mega Man's creator, says, "The moment you've been waiting for is here! We're not just giving you Mega Man 9, we're giving you a new NES game."

That should say it all. Those of you who grew up playing NES Mega Man games should be going crazy for this one.
