Megaman is back for real

Yes, that’s what the new Megaman game actually looks like.

A couple blogs have linked to this forum post which confirms that Megaman 9 is coming as a Wiiware/PSN/XBLA downloadable exclusive game.  Rumored bosses include Magma Man, Galaxy Man, Jewel Man, Concrete Man, Hornet Man, Plug Man, Tornado Man, and Splash Woman.  The most exciting part is the news that it’s going to look like an NES game and go back to the series’ roots in terms of design and gameplay.  I can’t wait to play this… it’s most likely I’ll download it for the PS3.  Unfortunately, the Wii’s storage space is too precious, so I’d rather save it for Wii-exclusive titles.

Bionic Commando Remake Looks Too Awesome

Game|Life posted this trailer for the upcoming remake of Bionic Commando for XBLA and PSN.

The game looks amazing, and the music kicks ass. I’m a sucker for any game that involves swinging or wall jumping as a central mechanic, and Bionic Commando fits this to a T. I’m also excited about the upcoming fully 3D sequel which this remake compliments.
