It will be WiiWare and keep the 8-bit style. 360 and PS3 seems likely, but I was only outright told WiiWare.
It will have no relation to Mega Man X (just pointing this out, since some people might think they might choose to do that with X equating to 10.)
Both Mega Man and Proto Man are playable (it appears Proto Man will be unlockable, or become available at some point midway through the game.)
There will be DLC to play as Bass. His gameplay will be based on how he played in Mega Man & Bass.

The ’story’ is basically as such: Robots get a virus that makes them sick. Roll catches it, Mega Man has to get Wily’s help to find a cure (Wily claims he has nothing to do with it, but… yeah), and the 8 bosses each hold part of the cure.

And here is the biggy… it will be two players. No idea if story mode will be two people, or if there will be some specialized two player mode though.

And oh yes… it’s far enough along that it is already being translated into English.

*monocle*

I think I'm going to have to try this game out. I've only recently come across the Mega Man series (through the Manga and some of the older side scrolling games) and so far I have liked what I saw. This will be a definite download when it comes out. Should be around 1,000-1,500 nintendo points?

Bass? Two player? I've seen the NP article before, but I didn't fully read it. Vertical level with conveyor belts that push down? Sometimes I think Capcom gets high when they make up this stuff, especially with Sheep Man, but we all love our Mareep, don't we?

 

[Waffles]

YES. I loved Mega Man 9, so this is going to be the the shtick. Mega Man 2 is still my favorite, but I wonder if this could surpass it.

Already?! Can't say I'm unhappy, though. Although, Sheep Man. Sheep Man! *snicker*

Capcom must be on somethin'.

So, yay! A new game to make me try to kill myself with my Wiimote!

Pst, Capcom. How about some X9? You left us on a squel hook and all. Maybe in 16-bit?

And I do wonder who in the world could possibly be behind this?

I blogged about this a couple days ago. And like I said, they've somehow made the robot master designs even more uncreative. Didn't hear about two-player or Bass, though. That should hopefully make it more memorable (MM9 just didn't have that)

Can we PLEASE have a Megaman Legends 3, sure I'm all for the classic 8 bit series continuation but I would rather have a continuation to Megaman Legends...
