Capcom has just announced the release dates of the uber-difficult, and decidedly retro, Mega Man 9:
Wii Ware – September 22, 2008
PSN – September 25, 2008
XBLA – October 1, 2008
Additionally, here are the 360 achievements for the game:
Jitterbug – Clear the game in 60 minutes or less. 20 Points
Invincible – Clear the game without dying. 30 Points
Almost Invincible – Clear the game without continuing. 20 Points
No Coffee Break – Clear the game without using any Energy or Mystery Tanks. 10 Points
Peacekeeper – Clear the game by defeating the fewest number of enemies possible. 20 Points
Conservationist – Clear the game by using the least amount of Weapon Energy possible. 20 Points
Gamer’s Day – Clear the game 5 times in 1 day. 20 Points
Whomp Wily! – Clear the game once. 5 Points
Destroyer – Defeat your 1000th enemy. 20 Points
World Warrior – Defeat every type of enemy. 5 Points
Trusty Sidearm – Defeat the 8 Bosses with the Mega Buster. 20 Points
Blue Bomber – Defeat a Boss without getting damaged. 10 Points
Some of those achievements look impossible.
Beat the whole game five times in one day?! this should be called the welfare achievement, cause no one with a job will be able to do it.
How about the throw the freakin’ controller at the wall achievement?
Cool mosaic. I’m stealing that picture for my site.
How come Xbox gets the version last?!?!
I’ll beat that game in 45 minutes. Nothing stand between Martini and his acievements.
Except Martini’s spelling 😉
I’m looking forward to this. What’s the price going to be?
Nice pic!
Are any of those those even possible? Man, capcom is stingy with this one.
$10 on all systems.
Could be a fun game. I haven’t played a mega man game in about 10 years. I did like the PSP version of the first one. I wish they’d remake that without the bad slowdown.
Pass on this one. MM games frustrate, and arent fun for me.
10 bucks seems a bit high for something so old school. It better be real good.
Sounds like a tough 200 points.
$10 seems worth it, considering I’d pay that for an old cart.
Never liked the megaman games. too many automatic hits,
5 bucks too much.
50 points, for sure.
Im eager to see what reviewers make of this game.
Games seems short if you can clear it in less than an hour.
While I generally retro games, unless they have significant modernized Mega Mans gameplay, I probably wont be interested.
I do like that picture.
Might get the wiiware version, if I can find a classic controller.
I’m hoping for PS3 trophies.
If I have the extra dough, I might buy it.
Is that a real pic? It looks like what those Space Invaders guys do around the world with their kits.
