Could it be? Megaman 9 has been announced?

A more specific link from a site we all know could reinforce this claim further:

Well ... it's a good way to surprise us, as Capcom earlier stated that they were working on several unnamed games. But, we shall all know on July 17th the day of the E3, where Capcom can grandly make its announcements.

If that doesn't show up by then, maybe we can diss this as a fake, though that part of Australia getting the names first I might consider as real. We'd see.

Comments anyone?

[J.Y.]

I don't believe it.

It'll be extremely funny and weird if the past 8 versions of Megaman in low quality and graphics, and Megaman 9 in high graphics, adding that it's in XBox. It'll be like playing the oldest version of super mario in 3D mode in PS3. I mean, it just feels not right. Don't you think?

I rather them not to make Megaman 9. They may make more plotholes.

[Professor Fann]

Hmm, possible, but I have to concur that with the way Capcom is handling Megaman now, it could only create more frustrations to all those plotholes.

But you'd never know. So, I'd save my anger for later.

EDIT

This just in! Probably a good reason or two to get angry over.

Read it yourself.

[Nicktendonick]

Already read them.

Anyway, I do Strongly disagree that they'd do it in 8-bit style like the other game. Personally, I think they'd do it in a style simlar to Megaman Powered up, but like more realistic, very much like the style that Rockman Perfect Memories used for that Rockman and Forte DS hoax


Although to say... "Robots have expiring dates..." Is a nice tagline to the game.

The links were for public reference.

8-bit is so outdated. Though I would think it fits Megaman 2 better for this. I think a Megaman 8 would be the best spriting style for this game. I dislike the Powered Up style ... maybe that's why it didn't do well in Japan.

It could be possible that the robots may die down due to malfunctioning mechanisms, but I strongly doubt it's predetermined death. Heck, X and Zero lasted for so long. But that may be the doctor's technology is not perfected and instead only achieved during X's creation.

This oculd be another ZX/A thing ... Reploids having definite mortality...
