Due out March 2010, Capcom is doing the 8-bit thing again for another installment in the Mega Man series.

I’ve finally heard someone complaining about these 8-bit titles, Zombietron had the argument of: “Who wants to spend good money on a game that doesn’t look good?” The answer is, of course, the good doctor. Mega Man 9 was awesome, one of the best in the entire series. As it made fun of itself, and was in on the joke, it was about as well-balanced as a Mega Man game can be. It introduced innovative new concepts to the series without loosing the classic look and feel. Basically it felt like a brand new game, that would have been worth the full cost of a video game, but I was only being charged for a $10 dollar download.

Hence my excitement for Mega Man 10. It looks like they are doing the same thing, but in a way that seems even more aware of what people are asking for. Namely me, the good doctor. They are boasting a new easy mode, as well as the ability to play proto-man without an additional download.

I was already completely sold on the idea of Mega Man 10, but after watching the video below, I have to say I have considerably raised my expectations. Watch it now!

So, I think we can all safely get excited now. As a true robot, how can you not be? (Maybe even Zombietron?) As a reminder, it is coming out in March!

On a small digression, because it is so close to robot Christmas: for some reason Amazon dropped the price on Zelda Spirit tracks $10 dollars, and still in time to get it for Christmas. So buy it on Amazon for only $25 dollars!
