only that its not a new series in the megaman lineup, i mean its not part of that canon.
It's not 100% original, and it shouldn't be. But come on, I would have expected at the very least changing a few details around. Even if just the setting or something. They had the chance to do it now.
I will admit that it is extremely similar, but it also has some new stuff.
So what makes Mighty No. 9—the character as well as the game—different? Simply put: the ability to transform! Of course our hero, Beck, earns new weapons as he defeats each of his fellow Mighty Number boss robots, but more than that, his body itself can also reconfigure into new shapes, allowing for all kinds of new skills and abilities!
For example, his limbs might become giant magnets, enabling him to walk up walls or rip away enemy shields... Or maybe extendible spring-loaded hands would allow him to activate far-away switches or work as a grappling hook... Or he could have a tank-like body, easily crossing over spikes and pushing objects around the levels... These are just a few possibilities we’re considering (the game is still in the design phase), but you get the idea!
And it’s not only killing bosses that gets Beck new powers. Taking out other enemies with a certain weapon, or hitting them in their weak spot, can expose one of three types of “xel” (pronounced “cell”) energy Beck can sap (if he’s quick enough), store, and unleash later via his own Mighty Skills! Give yourself a double-jump and speed boost for a limited time, unleash a concentrated flurry of powerful punches directly ahead, or set off a blast that hurts everything on the screen! Whatever final form it takes, this system will add depth and strategy to the action, as you choose how to approach and defeat even normal bad guys to best fuel your special powers.
I was going to pull the "That's probably because you're too young! Back in my day..." but you're older than me, so... yeah. I started playing Mega Man when I was 4 or 5, so it stuck with me. A lot of younger people nowadays don't care about Mega( )man because, well... there haven't been any high-profile games released recently. It's like how my 5 year old niece doesn't know who Pac-Man or Scooby Doo are. If World War III doesn't kill us all, I expect a bleak future for us...I still cant bring myself to care about Megaman, not through lack of trying it just doesnt click with me at all
though those frothing at the mouth about Megaman may find some amusement in this

Every Mega Man game has some new stuff in regards to the previous installment. Whether they're charged shots, bolts, etc. I wouldn't bother trying to convince him, or anyone else, really.
I don't really enjoy the NES Megaman games either, but Maverick Hunter X (a PSP remake of Megaman X) is pretty great. You should try it. There's also a PSP remake of the original Megaman called Megaman Powered Up. You might want to try that as well.
the stiffness is part of what it made him to begin with...
lol, i went full retarded then.......
ZX Spectrum is a 8 Bit Home computer...
If I had more money I wouldn't think twice about it.
well... some of the megaman series dont have a true ending...Still think we don't need more MegaMan

In Fairness that may be counting alternative versions when they have been multi platform
