John – You say that you couldn’t add trophies to the PS3 version of MM9 because of resource issues, but I really hope you guys will reconsider later, especially after this sells like friggin wildfire and you guys make boatloads of cash off of it.

This “no trophy” issue is really starting to perpetuate a cycle. No trophies = less sales on cross platform games = less devs bother to do trophies because of less sales = no trophies.

I had planned on buying this game on AT LEAST 2 systems, the PS3 and the Wii, and perhaps the 360 later just because. Now i’ll most likely only buy it on the Wii, because it’s more or less pointless to buy the PS3 version for no perks over the Wii version. I *might* still buy the 360 version for the achievements, but that was a maybe at best before (see my previous aversion to the 360’s D-pad). Capcom has effectively halved the money they could have made off of me by one bad business decision.

Granted, I’m probably in the minority and I doubt many people will buy this game multiple times over, but frankly I want to support you guys for being so damned awesome. That’s why I’m torn. I love Megaman. My first videogame memory was Megaman 2. I would gladly pay you guys 3 times over for this wonderful game, but a man has to have principles at the same time. But what is worse? Keeping the cycle going by not buying the PS3 version, or continuing to support you guys when the brass can’t even cough up enough dough and manpower to add in something as simple as trophy support (and in a timely manner *cough BC:Rearmed cough*)?

But don’t think I’m blaming, John. I’m not, really. Whoever the nameless, faceless brass is that makes those decisions..HE gets my ire.

I fired up my xbox 1 yesterday and played MM2 in 1080i. That was fun :)

So when are we going to hear an announcement about the release of Bionic Commando on next-gen systems? Is this thing getting pushed back to 2009 or what?

Ranting equals lost phrases…

Hey John, glad you replied. Burnout is really amazing, all their DLCs are FREE, so far they have had 3 updates, with the most recent one adding a brand new motobikes side with its own races, challenges and events, basically an additional game on top of the existing game for FREE! Later this year they are adding a new island to the game for free as well… to be honest… I really like their business model, wonder how they make that work…? Anyways, Rockman 9 is really good, I even got the OST cuz the music is just that great! Hope oversea they will see the importance of trophies.

MM is the definitive capcom franchise, drop zombies, street fighters etc and start churning MM games all over the place. Rename capcom to Megaman Haven or something. And please stop messing around with the story, I mean until Megaman X Zero it was ok, but how on earth did we end up at Legends through that new DS c**p? A Legends 3 would also be appreciated. And many collections. OK, enough ranting….

Day 1 purchase, although mind you I refused to buy games like Fallout 3 that didn’t support trophies. But Megaman is Megaman. Just show some of the posts here, I ‘d pay for a trophies patch…

Thanx for all the answers!

PS: With the BCR patch, alright, you better be joking, or BC next gen is like 90% ready.

Why don’t you release this game as a downloadable title for psp too? I think it fits better a portable console than a HD one.

Thanks for all the feed back John D. I never seen anyone reply to so many comments. I enjoyed reading all of your replies and found it enlightening.

So any word on Maximo on the PS3 since for some reason my nephews and I loved playing it on the PS2.

No trophies right now, or no trophies period? Please don’t make me play this game on the janky 360 D-pad. I beat myself up conquering Bionic Commando on the PS3 (and am now patiently awaiting the Trophy patch), so I’m fully prepared to wait for a patch for MM9. Please give me some hope!
