  • Shit just got real!

  • I have Megaman and Call of Duty on my xbox 360.

  • I agree nes style and challenge. But the charge buster and slide shoud have been added.

  • lmfao... "Wood" man looks like "jewel" man? now way dude.

  • Preesentation?

  • @retrogamingfanatic It's 8 bit. What the fuck is there to say?

  • @EpicFlyingCat yes, i know its 8 bit, im not blind. but what is 'prEEsentation''?

  • "...do it old school by looking it up online..."

    What a tool.

  • this shit is super hard havent even beat one boss wtf

  • Video game companies should make more games like this! Castlevania, Contra, Ninja Gaiden etc. Come on gaming industry! Cut yourself a break from making horrible copies from 2 of the most horrible games in existence (Halo, Cod) and bring back the glorious 8-bit era!

  • It difintly not worth 10

  • Its different not worth that guys a moron I bought for 5 $ and I just regret it

  • Everytime I beat a boss in this game I feel so accompished! :D

  • For some reason want this game now!

    Not cause of this review.

    so DLC's are free now.

  • You can't walk with the leaf shield but you can with the jewel sattelite which makes them different!

  • It was a bold move by Capcom, and it worked in everyone's favor, but once the novelty wares off, it's really not better than any of the earlier Mega Man MES titles.

  • wasn't megaman 9 with bass?

  • @extalinours No, that's 10

  • This game iz retardedly hard

  • Comment removed

  • Mega Man 9 is way better than Mega Man 2. In fact, all the canon games in the classic series are better than 2. Don't get me wrong, it's a good game. My problems with it are 1. That it doesn't live up to the hype and 2. The Wily castle. Again, it's a good game, but it's overrated. I thought the other games were far superior.

  • fake man is an ass in megaman 9 he is weak and

    fakeman is a hippo's ass

  • I'd have to revisit MM9 again but my first impression was that it was okay at best. I didn't really like the level design and found it very cheap. Megaman 2 and 3 are still by far the best. 6 was pretty good too. I'm playing 10 now and its pretty good not as good as 2 and 3 but maybe as good as 6, maybe.

  • graphics suck!!!im not buying it

  • @bignastyeller if you let graphics decide your buy more than gameplay, you can never call yourself a gamer and should go back to masturbating onto your gay iMac

  • @hejjagedu howd you know i owned a imac?

  • @bignastyeller 'cause you think graphics are important, so you're a shallow retard

  • @bignastyeller Gameplay is better than your CoD crap.

  • @bignastyeller

    go play your Crap of Duty, graphics aren't the most important thing in a game, the most important thing is the gameplay! and that it has to be fun. but you're maybe not buying it because this game is too hard for pussies like you.

  • ...i think im gonna get A LOT of hate for this but...i think 9 is the best one in original series...even better than 2...first goes 9,then 6(OMG HATE HATE HATE),then 3,then 2,and then 10...

  • @MotherPunker970 idk about 2 & 6, but 9 is my favorite. i especially love galaxy man's theme!

  • @darthelghastN7 They probably did it because they don't like 8-bit graphics. Or maybe because it's not a gory fps. Whatever the reason, they shall burn in hello for it.

  • I probably not going to get any thumbs up for this comment

  • @zeldalegend98 WRONG!

  • Official Playstation Magazine UK gave this game a 5/10. They shall burn in hell.

  • @pikmin257 well is pretty simple once you think about it: it's a play station magazine, the only place where you can play megaman the way it's has to be play it is a nintendo system, using a dual shock, or even a classic controller on a wii is just wrong.

  • I am Mega Man i got mother F,N gun for a hand!

  • "Welcome back to 8-bit gaming. You gotta earn it one tile at a time." Someone make a shirt of that right now.

  • I would love this game so much more if I didn't know that these Megaman games are keeping Capcom from making a new Megaman X game.

  • today i bought mega man 1 for the gameboy, and damn, is it hard!!!!! ( alot harder than mega man 3 on my gameboy )

  • Sorry, but there is an ad at the beginning. I will not watch the video

  • mega man 8 had snes graphics but no 9 has go 8 bit

  • can i just say one thing he said it feels like megaman 2 a bit megaman 3 well megaman 2 is understandable it was based off it but megaman 3 no the slide was introduced in it but in this one megaman has lost it so my opinion its nothing like megaman 3 only was it feels like megaman 3 is protoman he has all megaman.s abilities from 3-8

  • the should put mega girl as a downloadable character if you agvree thumbs up this comment

  • @herroalex guess people want 2 keep megaman as guy huh? i wonder why? oh yeah! beacuse the game is called MEGAMAN. the series is called MEGAMAN. and the main character is named MEGAMAN. no wonder you didnt get any thumbs up

  • @JDSureshot9292 but still a little different thing but I mean capcom can keep megaman as a guy it was a thought not a demand

  • Why do all IGN reviews sound like they were done by students in a high school special ed English class?

  • @imperialpod STFU with that bullshit, sony will still produce the PS3 console.

    It has decent games;MegaMan 9&MegaMan 10, Uncharted 2, COD, Medal Of Honor etc.

    And ET fucking sucks shit anyway.

    SPAM ALERT, SPAM ALERT, SPAM ALERT

  • @Falchion43

    My friend, I'm sure you have many fine qualities.

    Unfortunately, perspicacity is not one them.

  • @imperialpod ok just wait for uncharted 3 and last guardian and other open consle games. trust me

  • And I thought I sucked at this game o.O

  • the only thing it lacks is flickering

  • @ignika98 You can turn on the flickering.

  • @Antifrost thats just awesome

  • i thought MM9 was pretty easy.

  • Finish the game without being hit, ha ha ha ^_^

  • @ultimenthero Don't know about everyone else but that doesn't work for my computer anymore, so looks like I have to endure the ads :(

  • Yay! New Megaman, I love the music.

  • Sign, Megaman 9 is a worthy 10 bucks game but I'm just dissapointed that there is no slide like megaman 3 or charge in 4,5,6,7, and 8.

    Why did they take away something that made the game even more awesome man.

    =(

  • @masterminded78 the reason why there is no slide and charge shot is because Capcom wanted to go so old school that MM9 would reflect the good ol' days of Mega Man 1 & 2. I was somewhat dissapointed, like you, about those things, but it's a great nostalgia factor and it reminds me of playing MM2 on my NES years ago.

  • @Anthony74561 I agree but they could at least make that optional.

  • @masterminded78 because it sets it back to megaman 2 which is the most popular megaman game of all of the origionals.

  • Comment removed

  • @masterminded78 so that it makes it more challenge

  • is this ign? he actually knows how to review

  • FINALLY a reviewer that knows his shit :P

  • I don't get it, IGN gave Megaman 8 a subpar rating because it was just "another megaman game" but here they give Megaman 9 a higher rating and it's basically the same situation except Capcom went backwards here. Makes no sense.

  • @THEmounster megaman 8 wasnt as good as the others. and megaman 9 is fresh i mean its been like 10+ years since we last got a megaman game? plus megaman 9 has some modern things like challages etc.

  • @13nbui

    But at the end of the day, it's still just another megaman game right?

  • @THEmounster at the end of the day your thumbs will hurt

  • Am I the only one who gave up this game because of the Wily stages???

  • @GeneralMario1 i was gonna give up when i faced the twin devils, then i kept going to concrete man and plug mans stage to get alot of screws to buy alot of E tanks, then i beat the twin devils ( :D ) and then i beat the final boss

  • is this a genuine 8-bit game using some sort of NES emulator, or is it just designed to appear 8-bit??

  • @CheapBeer09 Designed to appear 8-bit, there were some things that actually can't be emulated on an actual NES, such as the chained platforms in Jewel Man's stage, bypassing a specific sprite limit and tile clipping.

  • @CheapBeer09 I think it just appears that way, because to me it looks like Megaman 9 has more color than an NES game would be able to support.

  • @CheapBeer09 it's designed to appear 8-bit.

  • To me, it was pretty easy compared to the other megaman games.

  • Brentalfloss: This shit is so hard!

  • @CappucinoBomb

    Not realy, I think it's pretty easy,

    but I still love this game =D

  • Mega Man X1 X2 X3 > all Mega Mans

  • guau

  • i dont think i have ever cursed so much playing a Megaman or any other game for that matter

  • relase this on Steam... please capcom :|

  • i wished that capcom had released mega man 9 /10 for the original nes just for fun. minus the wifi downloads "obviously"

  • It's cool that Megaman went back to 2D...But seriously? 8-bit?...

  • @reggiardito 8-bit is the best way you can play it.

  • @reggiardito

    You pissed of because it doesn't look like halo?

  • @spno1fan It clearly seems that u don't know me at all , i don't like Halo , i even HATE the entire halo franchise. I just mean that beeing back to 8-bit later making 32-bit , and even 3-D ones it's a bit...Weird.

  • @reggiardito

    It's to create nostalgia dude , you know back when games were 8-bit

  • @spno1fan Yeah..Damn good aged where i raged every second with Castlevania and Ninja gaiden...But is this ALL coming to old NES style? I mean i LOVE the megaman NES style but the megaman X NES style it's...Not so good as the Ones on the PS1. But better than the ones in PS2.

  • @reggiardito

    If you say it's a "damn good age" don't complain

    and this the Rockman classic series it has no need to look like Rockman X

    and i agree the ps2 ones don't look so good should've stuck to 2-d

  • @spno1fan I never complained , i just said that because i was impressed , u took my message wrong and start saying things like "Pissed off because it doesn't looks like Halo" Then i repplied because i'm something that people would call "A HH"

  • THIS GAME IS FUCKING HARD OMFG

  • @danihj86 mega man 10 is even harder

  • oh dear lord the music!!! what happened to good music in games?

  • ITS LIKE MEGAMAN 2 DX! YEAH! WAHOO!

  • thumbs if the rotating platforms gave u more hell than gutsman's platforms ;D

  • @imbadatnames390 oh you.

  • @imbadatnames390 Subtle troll is subtle.

  • I've never played a Mega Man game. For the next game i download on my Wii, should it be Mega Man 9, or say, 2?

  • Start with 2. That's really the pinnicle of the series for me, anyway.

  • @DestinyHeroFlamer pick 3 or 2 because 9 should'nt be some ones first mega man game because 9 was my first and now I have anger issues but it will make the others a tad easier when you do play them

  • @DestinyHeroFlamer so did you ever play it?

  • yh this game is pretty hard

  • @25cooljared it's hard at first but once you beat the game a few times it's really fun and easy.

  • @OZZYRULES200 yeah i just got it and i'm seeing that, it's tough at first but it's all about timing and learning the levels, then it's not so bad once you know what to do... sort of like Demon's Souls, which is my fav game :D

  • @dmajorhiphopproducer yea dude. it's really awesome imo. i'm trying for a mr perfect run(going a whole game w/o ever getting hit). Mega Man 10 was good but not as good as 9. 10's weapons weren't nearly as useful.

  • @OZZYRULES200 i got Braid with Mega Man 9 and Braid is really messing with my brain. lol

  • @dmajorhiphopproducer i heard Braid is a really great game but i haven't played the full game, just the demo.

  • @OZZYRULES200 Braid is awesome but it can really mess with your head. I think it's well worth the price. PSN: dmajor11

  • @dmajorhiphopproducer I have a 360, sorry dude. I've heard it's hard and have seen walkthroughs on here about it but never played the full game.

  • @OZZYRULES200 that's cool. Yeah my brother has a 360 and i have the PS3 so it's like i have both :) But Braid is also on 360. Anyway, happy gaming

  • @dmajorhiphopproducer Nice. I thought about getting a PS3 when i was looking for a new console but the PS3's i looked at at the time weren't backwards compatible. So i bought a 360 instead. Well if you get on your brother's 360 msg me. i'll pm you

  • 1st wiiware game I got and 1st megaman game I played. Great first choice and now one of my favorite game characters. :)

  • I've been playing Mega Man since the 80's and downloaded this thinking it would be great. This game is WAY TOO HARD!!! After 2 weeksof trying to get through Wily's Castle(and nearly breaking my Wiimote in frustration), I gave up and deleted it. There goes 10 bucks i'll never get back. I'll stick to Kirby cause it's much easier. I hate this @#$% game.

  • @GoGoGadgetBeer Really? *picks ear* I beat in in a day and a half.

  • @GoGoGadgetBeer Really? *picks ear* I beat it in a day and a half. The 1st of which was the day I downloaded it.

  • @Djstudiosgold - ear picking spreads disease but otherwise thanks for the heads up.

  • Funny. I finished it in three days.

    Patience is key. It's one of the easier games in the original series for me. Even easier than five.

  • Comment removed

  • I always say 'so what?' to myself if i finish a game that didn't challenge me.

  • Is your voice overclocked? 

  • i never liked the original megaman games that much, i always found them 2 hard.

  • @Zero542542 THATS THE POINT

  • @Zero542542

    Then you have absolutely no business in even LOOKING at a video game, much less playing any.

  • @TheSaintOfPain i clicked on it by accident, n e wayz i still like them but they're so damn hard, hell, the megamanzero were easier than this. n another thing don't snap at me i wuzn't even insulting it.

  • Jewel Satellite = Galaxyman pwn3d

  • 1:39 Wario robot!

  • what system is this for?

  • @alaza1900 WiiWare.

  • @alaza1900 wii

  • I bought this recently and I am really enjoying it,So far I have only been able to beat galaxy man and got half way through concrete man(fucking elephants,lol)and magma man(fucking dragon thing:()

  • @imbadatnames390 You know, I downloaded today. And the only level I beat so far was Galaxy Man, too. But theres something lovely about this game that keeps me going despite its frustrating difficulty. When I was a kid that same thing happened with the older Megaman games.

  • @Samael66618

    I know what you mean,it feels very rewarding to finally find out to how to get past a part

  • don't start with plug man he's fucking hard without the jewel satellite.

  • like I say, no charge shot, no good, no good at all

    is not my fault, I was born in 1995, and I liked megaman 8 :P

  • lol you wouldnt consider this game means you never played any of the old megaman games...in my opinion megaman series is so much better than the games u see now..well ok 7 and 8 are good but they were for PS and snes but the old megaman games..i wudnt call it awful graphics..the levels ARE pretty innovative..the gameplay is harder than any game u will play today

  • There are only 2 things I hate about Megaman 9, aside from not being able to play it due to lack of current-gen console ownership:

    1-Charge shots are out the window.

    2-No more sliding.

  • what the heck is a speed run.....?

  • @diamonddragoniori a speed run is when someone attempts to complete a game as quickly as possible, speed runs are fun to do

  • @diamonddragoniori Pretty much what vampermaster said. Speed runs are very popular with 8 bit (and some 16 bit) games because of the technology used at the time (2D graphics and sprites for characters). Some arcade games as well can be used.

    Do a Search here on YouTube for speed run; You'll likely see everything from Contra to Castlevania come up. The videos are fun to watch.

    In a similar vein are "no death" runs, which are exactly what you'd expect; demonstrations of player skill.

  • I just finished MegaMan 10, I didnt know 9 was available. It looks harder than MM10

  • when i got this game i thought "it cant be as hard as they say it is"

    ... ya, kinda speaks for itself

  • There should be more downloadable games liike this! They should re-release some of the NES classics for PSN if possible. Where I live, it's not easy to get a hold of a NES...

  • I got the collection and played all the megaman games, and I admit the 8-bit games were fun, but nowhere near as good as 7 and 8. I understand the 8-bits having bad graphics, they didn't have better back then, but there is no excuse for games with these awful graphics these days. Add on the fact that it's downloadble content instead of a disc, and they removed the charge buster and slide, and it's easy to see why I would never consider getting this game.

  • "Welcome back to 8 bit gaming man, you gotta earn it one tile at a time" So fucking true. 2:32

  • i grew up on mega man 1 2 3 and 9 so i only got

    the slide never charge

  • Bringing Megaman back to 8 bit was pure genious!

  • @CharlieTeague That's exactly why, moron.

  • @Ondori412

    I'm no moron.

  • @CharlieTeague i disagree strongly... like seriously. how could level design like that possibly be lazy?!?

  • It IS an 8-bit game. You probably mean it feels like a Nintendo game, and it probably does (I sadly haven't played it yet).

  • Play in your cliched FPS sandbox, and leave us alone.

  • this and MM10 are the hardest MM games i've ever played, they are brutal without a doubt, even easy mode on MM10 is no walk in the park, and yeah like this guy said, SO worth the 10 bucks, 9 and 10 are awesome, and the music GREAT! I kinda hope now that 8-bit gaming kinda makes a comeback... I love some of the new games today, but you can't beat the awesomeness and the difficulty of 8-bit gaming!

  • yeah 10 was hard but i came up with the order first use arm cannon on nitro man nitro on strike strike on commando commando on sheep sheep on pump pump on solar and anything on blade

  • i found that strike man is best against sheep, and commando best on blade, i love starting against strike man cuz he's easy :D,and the rubber ball makes sense since it's an insulator towards electricity ;), and it bounces right at him half the time, so it works well, nitro is weak against chill man and it makes sense too :D, don't drive on ice ;D

  • @frenchfrey65 lol u think these are hard try playing mega man 1 and 2 ahhh

  • @Stairway2Hell88 Oh I have, I used to have the original, now i have it on the A.C. :D, I've played all the classics :D, lol I only beat 3,5, and 6 XD

  • @Stairway2Hell88 I recently completed Megaman 1^^

  • @frenchfrey65 I agree! 8-bit comeback!

  • aw man i wanna play mega man 2 again

    i miss that game so much

  • I love how they finally brought back the 8-bit Mega Man games! In my opinion Mega Man 7 felt to cluttered and things felt to close together, and Mega Man 8 was just stupid with it's cutscenes and pointless voiceovers. ...I bet I'm the only one here who's under 20 who thinks that...

  • Megaman 7 was great. But no, there are like, a crap-ton of people under 20 who think that, so stop being pretentous.

  • I was just saying that in responce to the fact that most "steryotypical" new age game fans don't like 8-bit. I wasn't being serious.

  • No slide, no Megabuster even though it's part 9? Weird.

  • @Woodplain While I admit it doesnt always work going back to 8-bit works perfectly for Mega Man cause the best of the series were on 8-bit. It's a nostalgia factor for us old school gamers plain and simple.

  • Well, you have to had been one of the people playing megaman on the NES to understand why it's awesome.

    Sometimes, 3D just isn't all that great, and Megaman and Sonic (and Castlevania) for example sucked in 3D so, they are now going back to the origins of these franchises which is great. Furthermore, it offers an alternative to all the "ZOMG Look at the Gwaphix" FPS's that are currently littering console's libraries.

  • @TeenageEntertainment I kiiiinda disagree, I NEVER realy played the nes ever,but I do LOVE 8-bit and mega man is my favorite series ever... well at least in my top 5.

  • Well freakin said man. Somewhere along the line the industry lost sight of what was important, and as these consoles became capable of better visuals that became the end-all/be-all of existence to them. I still consider the NES the best console ever because it made the most fun games. I've grown so frickin bored of FPS's and "pwning" people I could spew. I require more variety in my gaming than repeatedly shooting somebody in the head. This is a breath of fresh air in a stagnant industry IMO.

  • @TeenageEntertainment Mmmmaybe if megaman was a 3-D FPS...

  • @TeenageEntertainment there were some good mega man games in 3D

    like mega man 64

    and sonic adventure 2 was good

    castelvaini=eia was bad thorugh

  • @mak7070 The difference is that Mega Man Legends was a completely different style of game than Mega Man and Mega Man X. Mega Man X tried going full 3D and the result was a disaster.

  • @TeenageEntertainment sonic didnt suck to bad in 3-d
