Mega Man 9 Review Scores

Sep 23, 2008 // Snow

Everyone loves Mega Man! The reviews speak for themselves. If you have a Wii, and haven’t gotten MM9 yet, what the heck are you waiting for!?! If you don’t have a Wii, you can get your fix on Sept. 25th on PSN, and on Oct. 1st on XBLA. Check out the full set of dates and pricing here.

IGN – 8.6

“Mega Man 9 is exactly what hardcore gamers were hoping it would be, as Capcom has come out of the gate with a game that’s full of nostalgia and fan service, but also one that truly does rival the best in the franchise’s 8-bit roots. If you look at this game as a time warp into the NES era, it’s one of the top titles out there, as it’s hard as hell, somehow fresh in design (even though there have been well over 100 Mega Man games in 15 years), and simply a blast to rip through.”

1UP – B+

“MM9 is an unapologetic nod to one of gaming’s greatest eras. It might’ve been made especially for nostalgia-crazed dorks like me, but it’s something that any challenge-seeking gamer can dig.”

Team Xbox – 9/10

“Mega Man 9 is one is a rare treat– a tasty morsel likened to the decades-later discovery of a previously unreleased recording from Zeppelin, or similar rock gods.”

GamesRadar – 9/10

“Buy it, finish it, love it, because if this takes off we’re going to see a renaissance of new-old games . And if that happens, a whole new batch of gamers will grow up learning why rock-solid gameplay, not tera-flipping flop-bib shaders, make games truly exceptional.”
