In the heyday of the NES, few franchises were as well respected as Capcom’s Mega Man. Six Mega Man games ended up gracing that console, and though there were plenty of Blue Bomber adventures afterwards, players still thought back fondly to the tight controls, crisp 8-bit graphics and incredibly catchy MIDIs that were Mega Man’s hallmarks. Then, Capcom dropped a bomb on the old-school when it announced and subsequently released Mega Man 9, a game on current-generation consoles that looks, feels and plays just like the 2D action-platformers of yore. An incredible experiment that proved to be a great success, Mega Man 9 is proof that what’s old is new again.
