Today, courtesy of IGN, a new trailer has surfaced for Mega Man 9, with footage of various stages and a wonderful piece of background music to be featured in the game. With this trailer comes an announcement from Capcom themselves that the game will see a multiplatform release on all three download services -- WiiWare, XBLA, and PSN.

Release date is still obscure, stay tuned for more details.

To dispel any doubts about this upcoming title, Capcom of Japan wrote a news item about it.

The following information can be confirmed:

• Mega Man 9 IS coming


• The 8-bits, NES-like style will be used for graphics, music and sounds


• It's been prepared for WiiWare


• The launch target, at least in Japan, is for September of this year

More information is scheduled to be given on the 15th.

(New developments....Okay, this info is for real. Seriously. No joke.)

With a legitimate screenshot of Mega Man 9 now circulating the net, we have confirmation of the game's visual style -- pure 8-bit, and true to its roots. The game looks just like the NES games!

Straight from the pages of Nintendo Power, we also have a list of the game's Robot Masters:
Magma Man
Galaxy Man
Jewel Man
Concrete Man
Hornet Man
Plug Man
Tornado Man
Splash Woman (?!)

P.S: From the pages of Nintendo Power, we also have confirmation that the title WILL be coming to WiiWare. Be excited, folks.

I'll save my speculations for the forums. Hit the source for the screenshot.

Uncovered by forum-goers at NeoGAF. This morning, a new registry has surfaced on the website of The Classification Board of the Australian Government, under the title of MEGA MAN 9.

Details are scarce; the information on the registry shows that the game is scheduled to be multi-platform (XBLA/PSN release?), and the "Application" field reads "Red Ant Enterprises", a sizable company that handles Australian game publications such as the Wii Okami port and Lost Planet.

This is seeming pretty legit. Ladies, gentlemen, brace yourselves. Mega Man 9 may finally be upon us.

While we're on the topic of the mini-contest, I've created a short survey to get your opinion on this new event. It's only 4 short questions, and I'd appreciate it if you took a few seconds to fill it.

I think that, overall, this mini-contest went very well. We've seen several interesting character concepts, and the idea was popular with many people. A big THANKS goes to all those who entered, and who knows... see you next time!

New screenshots of Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom, an in-development Capcom crossover game, have surfaced, courtesy of Famitsu magazine. In these screens, a Mega Man Legends/Tron Bonne stage is clearly visible, with Servbots scurrying around in the background as well. Could this hint at more Mega Man representation in the future of the Capcom Vs. titles?

(thanks to Dr. Light for the tip!)

Earlier today, the oekaki board reached an important moment of it's history as the 10,000th picture was submitted by Worenx. For the record, the board was first made available during Summer 2001, and currently holds over 7210 pictures contributed by many, many people. Be sure to join if you're an artist who enjoys drawing Mega Man characters!

As a reminder, half of May has gone away: that means that you have about two weeks left to enter the mini-contest. Remember to jump in to get a chance to win a 20$ Amazon.com gift card!

Welcome people, and gather around as we celebrate the Mega Man PC Website: Dr. Cossack's Lab eighth anniversary! This year was a bit special as two long-awaited projects were made available. First of all, the Rockboard translation was finally completed, giving you access to one of the very few non-translated Mega Man games. Second, the ever-requested resume feature was added to the oekaki board to allow people to spread out a drawing over several days, if not weeks.

The oncoming year should be as interesting. The first obvious addition is the mini-contest annonced a few days ago only. Who knows, if this one goes well enough, a second one could be planned! There's another major feature underway for this website, which has yet to be unveiled. Stay tuned!
