Yah, I did read that article after I had made that post.

I must say that I do like the idea of it. (Getting a new NES game after all these years)

Especially from someone whose mind seems to be in the right place regarding its development. IMO

This is more about the creator and designer (now producer), Keiji Infune, going back to His roots as a designer when he first started the series back on NES.

Check out the previous article of Keiji Infune’s interview about Mega Man 9, and you’ll get a gist of it.

I’m curious as to why Capcom would revert back to 8bit era when Megaman 7 and 8 were 16 and 32 bit. Oh well… they are finally doing a real Megaman game for once since Megaman X3
