MegaMan 2.9 concept from ConceptualGamer

Mega Man 2 was the second console game I ever owned and I loved the game so much when I first got my hands on it. After the saying goodbye to my NES I completely forgot about the Mega Man franchise until I purchased Mega Man 9 on PSN. The game itself is sosimilar to Mega Man 2 I felt right at home with it and all my fond memories of Mega Man 2 came flooding back to me.

The similarities between 2 and 9 make the latter feel like a direct sequel to Megaman’s second outing, the game is a pure old school classic with awesome 8 bit music and punishing difficulty just like the NES days. None of these things will deter the player though as the game has a “one more go” quality to it, no matter how often or badly you die you want to keep playing until you beat your next boss and attain the next power up.

OK so now for the concept, after playing Mega Man 9 I wanted more, I imagine Capcom would really like to give gamers more MegaMan also. I believe the game had decent sales and didn’t really cost a huge amount to develop. Rather than rush a sequel of MegaMan 9 to the market, I’m sure Capcom want to take their time and improve upon the game in order to keep the game fresh and not just simply milk MegaMan and his fans. why not give fans of Mega man 9 a chance to experience the greatness that is Mega Man 2 but with all the rather cool additions that 9 brought to the table?

The latest MegaMan game saw the inclusion of a currency system, item shop, saving (no more passwords), rankings and lead boards, achievements(in game for PSN and Wii with the xbox getting live ones also) and of course new items that make the game a little easier for those who maybe found the game a little brutal.

I believe a remake of MegaMan 2 with these additions woulda great way to keep gamers interested in the MegaMan 2d franchise. Let me know what you think would you like to see a MegaMan  2.9 from Capcom or a completley new title, let me here your thoughts on the matter in the commecnts section.
