Coldest post ever.

John Diamonon replied on September 19, 2008 at 2:18 am

LOL. I’m usually long winded. Thought I try the direct approach for a change.

Squamden  |  September 18th, 2008 at 4:33 pm

Awesome, I’m really excited for this one. I dig the retro look, but I have to wonder, will it run in widescreen on my HD TV, or will it run in a 4:3 window?

John Diamonon replied on September 19, 2008 at 2:19 am

4:3 oldschoolness baby.

FeaturePreacher  |  September 18th, 2008 at 4:34 pm

I think it should be mentioned that this Mega Man 9 won’t be like Bionic Commando ReArmed. The artwork is gonna get updated. As a matter of fact I think it will intentionally look like your playing an NES version of the game. Isn’t this correct Mr. Diamonon?

John Diamonon replied on September 19, 2008 at 2:20 am

Think of it as a new 8-bit NES game available on the PSN.

Al2x  |  September 18th, 2008 at 4:34 pm

Sorry to be the one to ask, but, Trophies?

John Diamonon replied on September 19, 2008 at 2:26 am

Sorry, no trophies.

Phoenix8387  |  September 18th, 2008 at 4:36 pm

Awesome! But what we really want is a release date.

John Diamonon replied on September 19, 2008 at 2:20 am

Soon. Expect a confirmation Monday.

BigOLBallz  |  September 18th, 2008 at 4:36 pm

Is this gonna be the 8bit Wii crap

John Diamonon replied on September 19, 2008 at 2:21 am

No, 8-bit epic awesomeness son.

CHRP718  |  September 18th, 2008 at 4:37 pm

John Diamonon replied on September 19, 2008 at 2:21 am

Yee.

B1ack_Mage  |  September 18th, 2008 at 4:41 pm

Please, Please, please bring Mega Man legends 1 and 2 to PSN (and misadventures of tron bonne)

John Diamonon replied on September 19, 2008 at 2:22 am

John Diamonon replied on September 19, 2008 at 2:24 am

if a picture paints a thousand words, then why can’t I paint you?

adolson  |  September 18th, 2008 at 4:48 pm

Cool. Will it have a 4GB install?

John Diamonon replied on September 19, 2008 at 2:24 am

more like 4kb..lol..

Gregero  |  September 18th, 2008 at 4:51 pm

@12 (adolson)

LOL F-in hilarious. Hopefully it doesn’t have a large install…

John Diamonon replied on September 19, 2008 at 2:25 am

i agree..that was quite cute.

Hedrakk  |  September 18th, 2008 at 4:53 pm

I just wished it would come in a format a la BC:R…

I will still buy it!!! the Blue Bomber is Back!!

John Diamonon replied on September 19, 2008 at 2:25 am

8-bit graphics is an art style.

seph1r0th00  |  September 18th, 2008 at 4:54 pm

SWEET! Can’t wait for this game! Are there more Megaman games in the works for the PSN?

John Diamonon replied on September 19, 2008 at 2:26 am

maybe.

lakaihigh  |  September 18th, 2008 at 4:55 pm

thanks for the tease (coming soon)!!! I love that you guys already announced the price… atleast this post wont be flooded with “how much will it cost?”

peace,

John Diamonon replied on September 19, 2008 at 2:26 am

peace Lh.

bader  |  September 18th, 2008 at 4:55 pm

please tell with trophies ?

John Diamonon replied on September 19, 2008 at 2:27 am

I would like to, but unfortunately, no.

Neil  |  September 18th, 2008 at 4:59 pm

DAY ONE!

John Diamonon replied on September 19, 2008 at 9:15 am

Right on!

Aeneman  |  September 18th, 2008 at 4:59 pm

$9.99 for an 8-bit game, there better damn well be trophies and custom soundtracks.

Sorry to sound harsh, I’m not a graphics whore, but there’s no reason to make a game intentionally ugly.

John Diamonon replied on September 19, 2008 at 2:28 am

I wouldn’t call it ugly. 8-bi graphics are beautifully simplistic. Try creating a boss character with 16 sprites.

shun goku satsu  |  September 18th, 2008 at 5:00 pm

Any word on trophy support?

John Diamonon replied on September 19, 2008 at 2:29 am

Jenovah  |  September 18th, 2008 at 5:03 pm

Mine!

John Diamonon replied on September 19, 2008 at 2:29 am

yes!

jqtaxpayer  |  September 18th, 2008 at 5:04 pm

A guaranteed-without-a-doubt buy. Mega Man is the King of Win.

And yeah, I agree with the other guy… the PS3 crowd needs to experience Dead Rising. Don’t know what, if anything, you’ve got to do with that, but I’m sure you don’t need me to tell you that Dead Rising was one of the best products Capcom has made in years and ought to be ported / have a spin-off or sequel on every platform that can handle the bloodthirsty zombie hordes.

John Diamonon replied on September 19, 2008 at 2:30 am

this game has epic win all over it.

FilliamHMuffman  |  September 18th, 2008 at 5:04 pm

OT, but do you have any update on Bionic Commando trophies?

John Diamonon replied on September 19, 2008 at 2:31 am

Just talked to Ben Judd about that. The team is hard at work with the next gen game and are trying to release trophy support probably around the same time.

Dark_Vincent  |  September 18th, 2008 at 5:08 pm

lol I guess the poster is a bit shy :~

Btw, in after “4gb install”.

John Diamonon replied on September 19, 2008 at 2:32 am

no, just late to the party. guess no one likes large installs.

darkiewonder  |  September 18th, 2008 at 5:12 pm

rumble support?

anyways. can’t wait! Love me some Mega Man!

John Diamonon replied on September 19, 2008 at 2:32 am

great question. i don’t know. let me find out.

Mana Knight  |  September 18th, 2008 at 5:14 pm

I’m a big Mega Man fan and I’m ecstatic this is coming to PSN. Day one purchase for me. Thank you very much Capcom. I hope to see more Mega Man downloads in the future.

John Diamonon replied on September 19, 2008 at 2:33 am

i figure there will be more Mega Man goodness coming soon.

tdh  |  September 18th, 2008 at 5:15 pm

John, I like how you work man. What, how much, and that’s it! Truly ’nuff said!

All we needed was a when and this would have been the greatest post EVA~!

Old skool nostalgic goodness!

John Diamonon replied on September 19, 2008 at 2:34 am

I wish I could announce when. It’s real soon though.

Land Of Trill  |  September 18th, 2008 at 5:19 pm

OMG! Shut up about trophies I’m sick of hearing oh a new game it better have trophies it was implemented but games are not about trophies if you want to buy it then buy it if the game as no trophies then that’s the way it is stop basing your purchases on things that don’t matter the day will come when you get trophies in almost every game then you will complain about something else ignorant

John Diamonon replied on September 19, 2008 at 2:35 am

…and that day is coming soon.

Ghostm  |  September 18th, 2008 at 5:19 pm

Is this a remake like Bionic Commando Rearm?
Does it support Trophies?
How much does it cost?

Since you’re from Capcom. You should talk to the people in-charge about Monster Hunter 3 for the PS3. The Wii doesn’t have no swagger…Capcom needs to step their game up and come home to the PS3. Where real games for gamers are being made.

John Diamonon replied on September 19, 2008 at 2:38 am

I know there’s a lot of upset fans that MH3 is on the Wii. I’ll just say that we hear the complaints. We’ll have to wait and see what plans there are for a US MH.

h3ro  |  September 18th, 2008 at 5:20 pm

Will the game have Widescreen support? Trophies?

John Diamonon replied on September 19, 2008 at 2:38 am

see above

Ghostm  |  September 18th, 2008 at 5:21 pm

John Diamonon replied on September 19, 2008 at 2:39 am

I can’t wait for Wipeout either.

Ghostm  |  September 18th, 2008 at 5:23 pm

Never-mind about the price question. It says $9.99

Will it be widescreen?

*chuckles* Hey, some moron would have said it eventually; I’m just getting it out the way.

Love the old-school vibe of this game, but it’ll take some new-school trophy support to get my $9.99.

John Diamonon replied on September 19, 2008 at 2:42 am

yeah, would’ve been nice. give it a try anyway.

Jayceon_Kidd  |  September 18th, 2008 at 5:40 pm

erico, you don’t know how many requests i get everyday about that since that unity blog.

yurinka  |  September 18th, 2008 at 6:01 pm

Day 1 purchase for me. Some questions:
· “Coming soon” means “September 25th”?
· Has PSP remote play?
· Has YouTube support?
· Has Trophies support?

Sadly I smell all the answers will be “Nope”.

John Diamonon replied on September 19, 2008 at 2:47 am

nope, nope and nope. sorry.

DemonicMember  |  September 18th, 2008 at 6:02 pm

All this content is great; But it would be really great if Sony could come thru on some promises….I mean I’ve owned two PS1’s; a PS2; I still own PSP and PS3….I bought my psp-1001 for a promised launch title of GT4 Mobile…Can you say Vapor Ware? Then I bought my ps3….Home was announced March 07 i think, its been delayed how many times now? PSN Cards…..how long you guys been talking about them? I dont have a credit card; I would love to blow random cash on PSN but I can’t. Life with playstation… Delayed… Launched by accident… pulled why not just let it go live? This is frustrating us. Could you guys possibly start making some realistic launch schedules; or just stop telling us about things until they are actually ready?

John Diamonon replied on September 19, 2008 at 2:47 am

can’t answer this one.

iExile  |  September 18th, 2008 at 6:03 pm
