I was very excited when I heard the reports from E3 that Capcom was going old school in making its newest Mega Man game in NES style. Granted, there seems to have been more Mega Man games produced than Madonna had lovers, but this return to the blue bomber's roots should pay dividends in excellent gameplay. Judging from the early teaser videos I've seen, the game appears difficult in the tradition of the old games (with Mega Man 2 being an obvious exception). Just watch the IGN video I link below in which a Capcom executive constantly and hilariously dies in the same pit of spikes in one level he keeps replaying. Shouldn't there be some sort of requirement in the job description that if you work for a video game company that you not suck at video games?
I've yet to hear of the release date for the game, which will be available for download (presumbly in the $10-$15 price range) on the XBox 360, Playstation 3 and Wii. Assuming the standard Mega Man NES controls (they've taken away the power shot and sliding), I'd pick the Wii as the preferred console due to the similar style to the old NES controller.
Here is the link to the IGN video, as well as the Capcom trailer:
