Well, take this one with a grain of salt. Supposedly, a beta tester over at Capcom took a picture of the new Mega Man 9 that’s in the works for XBox Live Arcade & Playstation Network. I’ll list all of the information we’ve got on this game thus far.
First, here’s the text that accompanied the screen shot.
“Dear Rockman Perfect Memories,
I’m a beta tester for Capcom, and it’s been a lot of fun reading all these posts about Rockman 9!
I’m one of the people who gets to test it!
Ever since I started playing it, I’ve wanted to take pictures and post them online, but they check you for cameras every time before you go into the room to play. Well I thought I’d try something tricky after a few months of beta testing, so I borrowed my girl friend’s phone. The guys there trust me enough not to pat me down anymore and they’ll let me hand them my phone. So, I took a quick picture of the screen with my girl friend’s phone! Sorry it’s so blurry and dark, but she’s got a really old phone.
I want to just send it to you guys because I don’t want it to get too much attention (Which is why I’m not sending it to Kotaku, or 1-Up.). But I’ll confirm a few things about the game:
- You can play as Blues.
- The graphics are in the 8-bit sprite style, but not the classic Famicom/NES one.
- It doesn’t have anything to do with the X series.
- Tango is in it, and works just like the Rockman World Game Boy version.
- The game doesn’t support full wide screen YET, but it will.
- It does support 480p.
Also, PLEASE don’t reveal my alias, e-mail name, or e-mail address! I don’t want anyone to know I’m the one who sent this in!”

Some more info:
Mega Man 9 is rumored to be in the works. Check out the OFLC’s rating for the game [here].
A beta tester from Capcom by the name of “The Shadow” is leaking information:
-Rockman 9 will feature a retro 8-bit art style, a homage to the earlier games.
-Two playable characters: Rockman and Blues (ProtoMan). Each has their own unique storylines.
- A popular belief is that RM9 will act as the ‘link’ to the events of the X Series. This is not so, The storyline DOES NOT lead into the X Series, rather it’s a ‘traditional’ plot.
-Many new characters, new Robot Masters and maybe some new supporting characters.
-Gameplay is reminiscent of Rockman 3-6.
-Online components: Leader boards and some unknown form of online play
-RM9 will be on all major home consoles: Wii, X360 and PS3. X360 and PS3 users will be able to purchase the game from their respective download services. It’s unknown how the Wii version will work, whether it will be a downloaded game or not.
