Mega Man is Pretty in Pink
By Shaun Hatton - September 23rd, 2008
If you’ve got 1000 points burning a hole in your Wii, and if you can actually spare the storage space in your “fridge,” you might want to check out Mega Man 9. It’s a new game designed with old school 8-bit sensibilities. Pixel art, chip tunes, and simple controls are used to bring the series back it its roots. In your face, HD enthusiasts!
Of course, the counter argument is that Mega Man 9 is just a lazy attempt to cash in on the mad desire for classic gaming that’s been going strong since the last generation of consoles. How long did this game take to make, a week? Nevertheless, if you fancy yourself as a hardcore 2D gamer and haven’t beaten the game yet, you might want to keep at it. Additional content will be available starting October, and you will be nickel and dimed for it (and you will like it).
Keep those pea shooter fingers in shape!
