Rockman Rockman announced for PSP

[Derwin]

Capcom has announced a re-make (http://eg.nttpub.co.jp/news/20050907_02.html) of the original Famicom Mega Man game with updated sprites, expanded enemies, and it even comes with a level editor in which you could trade levels with other PSP owners. For purists, the game also includes the original Famicom version. The website is in Japanese but has a lot of screenshots.

Bah. MORE exciting was the announcement of the remake for Megaman X:

The second title will be released under the name Irregular Hunter X. A remake of the 1997 Super Nintendo Mega Man X, Irregular Hunter X features new 3D visuals, arranged stages and even new modes of play. The game retains the more mature look of its hero when compared to the hero featured in the original Mega Man games.

Unfortunately it won't be at the Tokyo Game Show. Rockman Rockman is further along in development at this point.

A Megaman level editor... cool.

Megaman X was not made in 1997.

I think the new look is rather "too" chibi-looking to be appealing.

I'd rather want a remake of Mega Man 3, anyway. :(

Megaman X was not made in 1997.

MobyGames has it listed as 1993.

he was just adding to your comment.

Its funny how everyone on the internet thinks if someone quotes them theyre against them, such a hostile world this is :)

[Deadend]

His head! It's too big!

[DigitalFirefly]

why did they make megaman look like a baby?

[bobbler]

My spoon is too big!

On another note... this looks kind of cool -- I always liked the old megaman games (megaman 1-4 were the best!). I hate the X series.

I agree.


(Oh, see what I did there?)

The quote button might as well be changed into "attack".

I didn't even see that I was 'attacked' until I went backwards and read through the replies again.

... and people wonder why there are 'lurkers' on messageboards. Not saying anything is better than trying to help with useful information and getting bitchslapped for it.

[Pureboy]

If its bargain-priced, its worth it. Otherwise, why bother?

[TrackZero]

Yeah well, I just quoted another news site without paying attention, so don't blame me.

[Kamalot]

Damn. I love me some MegaMan but it looks like they left the art redesign on this to the interns. The Playskool interns!
