With the news of Mega Man 9 coming out on Wii-Ware, it got me thinking of memories past. It got me salivating, thinking of the pure uncut 2D goodness. It also got me thinking of what I would love to see in a new 2D Mega Man game. One word: Metroidvania.
A 2D Metroidvania styled Mega Man game should’ve been been done a long time ago. It’s perfectly tailor made for a Mega Man game. Obtaining new powers from bosses you defeat can allow you access to new areas. The downside is knowing ahead of time what power to use to easily beat the boss of said level. I mean the cool part of old Mega Man games was finding the right weapon to use to beat a boss with a few hits and well, it only figures that the weapon you use to gain access to a new area will be the very weapon used to beat the boss of said level. Oh the thought of Mega Metroidvania Man has me swooning. Get on it Capcom.
