8-BIT MEGA MAN

and last but not least, 8-BIT MARIO!

In anticipation for the release of Mega Man 9 this month, I present to you your own custom Mighty Mugg of the Blue Bomber. I think the guy did a pretty good job on him, even giving him his arm canon. Of course you can check it out on eBay. Also as reported earlier, there will be an energy drink based off of Mega Mans energy can released in Japan. Below are some pics of what if will look like.

So here we have details on 3 of the bosses from Mega Man 9. I’ve said it before, but this game just keeps getting better.

Concrete Man:

Weapon: Concrete Shot
Creates a temporary foothold as soon as it touches the ground. It can also be used to stop enemies in their tracks.

Tornado Man:

Weapon: Tornado Blow
Launches a huge tornado that covers the entire game area. Heavy enemies will take damage, but lighter ones will be blown entirely off-screen.

Magma Man:

Weapon: Magma Bazooka
Shoots a cluster of fireballs that spread out after launching. It can also be charged by holding down the shot button.

In order to get things started here, I decided to continue along with the Mega Man 9 hype.

Displayed 2 weeks ago at E3, Capcom was able to show off the full intro movie and an additional sneak peak of one of the levels.

With the strong buzz that this game is receiving along with updated remakes of Street Fighter 2, Bionic Commando and a recently released 1942 (on PSN and XBLA), one can only hope that this leads to more retro style remakes and original games with the 8-bit charm.
