Mega Man 9 review status (pending)



The Mega Man 9 trifecta ends tomorrow as the XBLA version will be released then (still pending whether or not I would buy this version since I already have the WiiWare version). Then again, playing Mega Man 9 on my Wii does give me a reason to turn on that thing rather than letting it continue to collect dust as many people are waiting for the Wii's saving grace (possibly announced on Thursday at some Nintendo event) to happen. I guess the better support of leaderboards and achievements for the XBLA version is my reason for giving it a shot, but I generally prefer the controls of the Wii version playing it with the Wiimote sideways (NES style). I can at least get four of the twelve achievements on the XBLA version.

As for the Wii version and whether or not a review will happen, I'm at the Wily gauntlet (the four Wily stages that culminates in a final boss battle against the doctor himself) in which I'll try to beat it this weekend.

An example of crap on the Saturn
