Description Ever since the beginning of the end of the 8-bit era, Capcom has made one attempt after another to give their mascot a new coat of paint, but for some reason, none of them could even come close to being as good as the original NES titles. It seems like you can't have a good Mega Man game without having a bunch of bug-eyed, big-headed, stubby-handed little people frolicking all over the place... and are actually able to outrun freaking bullets! ...with their BUTTS. It's so dorky and it completely defies the laws of physics, and yet that's what makes the series so awesome somehow. The better reason they went back to that style in 9 and 10. I would pretty much desribe it along the lines of dorkily awesome and awesomely dorky.
Anyways, I kind of got an idea for this thing after I saw some videos for Mega Man Universe. What they're essentially doing is basically sucking out all the "squareness" while retaining the 8-bit feel from the glory days. I'm kind of doing that here too, but I'm more leaned towards a full blown 2-D standpoint rather than 2.5-D. It's a style I like to call โˆž-bit. It's like a version of 8-bit that shows about as much detail as a bunch of tiles could, but has a much smoother way of doing so by far.
Knock yourself out.

Disclaimer just to be safe: Characters belong to Capcom blah blah blah. That should be pretty obvious.

is the megaman name partially similar or derived to the rockman name because they both have man in both names

...Now that must have taken a HECK of a while to get it looking that good. The moves look like fun to pull off also, like BombMan's divebomb thing. Only thing is ElecMan kind of looked like a total wuss in the preview video... :/
But yeah, two thumbs up... Powered up, that is!

WaneBlade In reply to OIlusionista [2011-06-27 20:02:12 +0000 UTC]

It's mostly airbrushing, though some vector paths here and there help get some of the shaping right.

Good point. Besides, isn't that the idea behind videogames, to make some physics of your own?

The round/smooth graphic style feels right out of the 2D Worms games. Sorry if I didn't specify that.

That's the thing, the original 8-bit sprites didn't give them any of that stuff. So these new "sprites" are making fun of that in a subtle kind of way.

Dark-Doom [2011-03-13 00:12:14 +0000 UTC]

This is pretty neat. Although to be honest I preferred the Megaman graphics in 8 cause this 8-bit stuff... kinda sucks big time. I'm gonna be honest I hated Megaman in 8-bit. Mostly cause of how cheap it looks. I mean when your a big game company like Capcom and making games you can make on Newgrounds, your doing something wrong.

Nah, just kidding. I actually don't mind the graphic style of 7 and 8, but they kind of stood out in the series (at least the numbered games anyway).

Dark-Doom In reply to GorudoSutaman [2011-03-13 18:55:04 +0000 UTC]

That's why I love them so much more. With the others it was the same 8-bit stuff over and over. Plus the higher graphics just made it look better.

GorudoSutaman In reply to Dark-Doom [2011-03-13 19:38:10 +0000 UTC]

I'm wondering if Capcom will ever do remakes of all the 8-bit games, aside from Wily Wars.
