  Oh yeah Mega Man has been the real pinnacle of the videogame industry lately [/sarcasm]
  
  All game series aim to please the fans to some point or another or they wouldn't sell would they?

    That's not the point.
    
    Mega Man 9 represents a step back from the complexities of current-gen, back to something more simpler and pure.

      But we've seen that plenty of times on XBLA/PSN/WiiWare and the portables.

        But never to this extreme of a degree.

  I agree with Capcom's move a 100%. Everybody's so obsessed with graphics and making the most out of the available technology, that they become engrossed in the visual aspect. I can just imagine people trashing the game and saying "lol look at that game, it looks like one of them gameboy games." But, I think by keeping the graphics simple, Capcom can concentrate on something that's crucial to making good games; the gameplay, itself. Congratulations Capcom for keepin' it real.

  I couldn't have said it better myself. Gaming doesn't always have to be about the most realistic graphics, or the most realistic AI. Gaming is about fun, pure and simple.

  Goddamnit, they need to make another MegaMan Legends game!!!!!
  
  Those were my third favorite games for the PS1 second to RE1/2/3 and MGS1...
  
  MegaMan Legends 3 on the next-gen consoles would own my soul...

      Legends is my favourite Mega Man series ever. God, those awesome classic-looking robots, underground missions, exploring and excavating... We need more games like that.

  The problem is, how many modern day gamers will be put off from Mega Man 9 because of it's graphics?

    98.5%
    
    So what? The 1.5% of people who aren't going to be put off by the graphics are going to enjoy the hell out of MegaMan 9.

  Oh god atleast pick a better game to rest the entire uture of video gaming on, maybe a slightly safer bet like Fallout 3 or even Gears of War 2 not Megaman 9 which is a sequel to a series that is a shell of what it used to be.

    Because the MM series has old classic roots to go back to. Gears doesn't, and Fallout... Maybe just a little.

  Yeah, *bleep* engrossing storylines, lets drop everything that made gaming a legitimate adult entertainment medium, and go back to when people who played were ridiculed......good plan
  
  Good for them for rebooting their shitty brand(talking about the megaman battle network games. and that awful cartoon series) to make it what it once was. Just don't act like your a messiah of gaming who will return us to happier times. Some of us like what games are doing today. Arrogant bastards.

    This being a Nintendo affiliated thing, it's no surprise retro games are being praised...hell it's like everyone's still stuck in the S/NES era. Though I do have a problem with people saying Retro > Next Gen like it's a fact.

  I completely agree. It is always nice to play a classic game every once in a while.

  I'm just asking myself if they needed to go THAT far back in graphics, to SNES-looking screens? I mean, Megaman games on PS1 were quite exquisite, surely that could've done the job, but.. whatever, I'm sure their goal will be that much better. Props to them for attempting this... I guess.

    No, not SNES. It's NES graphics, which are even more classic.

  HEY WAIT A MINUTE! With MegaMan 9 being on a three current gen consoles, I think it might be enough to bring fanboys around the world together at last.
