Are all of you guys aware that a new Wiiware titles is coming out this fall (Not VC new game).

Its mega man 9, I just read about it the August issue of Nintendo power but I am sure it has already been posted on places around the net.

graphics wise it looks NESish. and the controlls are 2 button NES style also I suppose it could be emulated but questionable considering they probably don't want to use assembly so I dout it. Although its possiple there are reasons they would do so, in order to reuse old code or get the "retro" look dead on for exsample.

I would be amazed beyond amazed if MM9 was in 6502, but in one screenshot, it's obviously not. You can't make sprites dynamically "bend" on the NES without a lot of tiles.

I do not believe it is ether, that was just a random thought that would be cool.

I have seen one that looked like it had too many sprites on screen at once for that to be possible, but even if they did they do not have to follow the rules for hardware limitations since it would be designed to run on an emulator only.
Anyway more than Likely they used a Wii SDK designed to create Wiiware in some variation of C++, would not bother with ways of doing things that are considered antiquated and they may not even have a team capable of it.

Oh so a new Mega Man 9 is coming and it will look like it's made on the NES ? This is awesome ! Capcoms really rocks. Too bad they release it on the Wii and that is crap. They should release it on PS2 or at least PC so I can play it.

Unlike Nintendo with Nintendo DS and WiiWare, Sony isn't as forgiving of games that don't push the capabilities of PS2's Graphics Synthesizer. That's one reason why the Metal Slug games were Xbox exclusives. Sony is said to be a bit more forgiving on the PSP though.

Pirate Computer? Slashdot stories over the past few months seem to indicate that major video game publishers have been moving away from Windows because games for Windows are so much easier to copy illegally than console games.

I recently played a PS2 exclusive game that had barly early PS1 looking graphics (the name is Disgaea 2). Maybe its prequel (Disgea) have even worse graphics ? I don't know I haven't played it.

Yes, but there is by far more people with a decently recent PC than expensive recent console, so more potential buyers.

Rockman 9 will be available for XBOX Live Arcade and Sony PSN. It's not WiiWare exclusive though.

Well, I don't want any XBOX nor PS3 nor PSP nor Wii until a very long while (too expensive and not many good games). I'll buy a DS very soon tough.

Even though I own all those things but the Ps3 I am inclined to agree.

maybe if the download version are popular they may port it over to the DS, its a title well suted for a handheld sellability wise.

I just looked into it more is its actually Exclusively on the Wii. Fx3 was incorrect about that one.

I wasn't incorrect. The speculation was high and later Capcom has confirmed it's Wiiware exclusive.

I meant nothing by it I was just saying it is Wii only, not the others.

When the release date is known I would like someone to post that information as I doubt I will be able to keep up with it.
