Tomorrow is the day for you to download Mega Man 9 via WiiWare! Whoo! I’m quite excited for this game as Mega Man was one of my favorite game series growing up and I love the idea of a new game done in the format of an old 8-bit series. Here are the release dates (from Chud):
Wii Ware – September 22, 2008
PSN – September 25, 2008
XBLA – October 1, 2008
Pure awesome! Did you happen to see the “packaging” made for the game?
It may just be a press kit, but man I want one bad!! Also, along the same lines, Mega Man 2 was released for the Virtual Console.
This is also pretty awesome news! I was looking for some way to relax this week (I’ve been working our bi-annual tradeshow all weekend) and both of these games should help me do it!
Until next time!!
