Mega Man 9 gets even more authentically retro

Mega Man 9 will feature the graphics, sounds, and gameplay of yesteryear, and Capcom has now confirmed that it will be playable with virtually any old controller that can be slotted into the Wii.
This means that the Classic Controller and GameCube pad are both fair game, but here's the best bit: purchase the appropriate adaptor, and you'll be able to die repeatedly while using an original NES controller. As if Mega Man 9 wasn't already looking like the kipper's knickers, it just found a way to get even better.

It is as if Capcom knows its target audience to a T. How novel.

"kipper's knickers"?

ahh megaman, where there was only 2 things you had to worry about, when to jump and when to shoot. Then they got really advance, and added when to slide. Then they added when to charage your shot, and thats where it stayed. Thats where it should have stayed.
The X series followed the same formula for the most part until after 3.
I'm all for retro graphics, but I wouldn't mind actually getting a version that has higher res looking sprites. Am I alone on that?

yes, my friend, I'm sorry to say, but you are alone on that.
I am in complete retro bliss. I am buying this game and gifting it to everyone on my friend list who doesn't buy it. I want more of this type of thing, and WiiWare is perfect for it.

I'll add you as a friend?
Just kidding.
I'm buying it.

I have a NES and a SNES adapter and i love them. Only thing better is my Famicom Classic controller i just imported. :D Nintendo seriously need to start making more of them and come out with a NES and N64 one.

I'll be using my Hori SNES based Gamecube pad. ^_^
My REAL question would be, can you CHANGE the button assignment. This was the real problem with Megaman collection for the GCN.
