Description Woohoo, now we're getting to the fun stuff! Not to give the food chain away, but I think anybody can take the time to guess it. Also keep in mind this is different from that recent puzzle battle game for the mobile phone, and I did NOT just copy and paste that stuff onto here, apparently. This stuff is meant to look EXACTLY like the original sprites, detail-wise, but meant to be seen up close. ...I still wonder what the heck they were thinking when they decided to give the eskimo that weirdass lip... and having an arm sticking out of his head for that matter.

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 ∞-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.

If the original game can be fanfare with this sprite style, and backgrounds... It would be kickass.

Cut Man has his own hack of the second game. It's gloriously awful, with typos all over the place, a Quaker Oats motif as the bad guys, an edited Dr. Light as "eval Santa", a bunch of cameos as the bosses, and a derpy-looking Cut Man all throughout.

Such classic takes on these robot masters. I really like your attention to detail and adherence to stay true to the sprites. It's actually quite amusing, this reminds me of my attempt a while back when I wanted to render these very same sprites (Mega Man 1 - Mega Man 6) in clay figurine form. I tried to make them as close to their sprites as possible-- which you can see here if you're interested: [link]

Should I ever revisit that and make characters like Dr. Cossack, Beat, Treble, etc., I'll definitely be revisiting your "sprite" rendition page! haha. Nice work.

I think you should check out Rockman: The Puzzle Battle, you may be surprised that your style's very similar.

I think I already pointed out that I'm totally aware of that... I'm glad they have a similar idea for the concept on the visual, but for a ripoff of every puzzle game ever made?? I haven't seen it in action, but it seems like an even weirder installment for a videogame series than Metroid Pinball.

Amazing work, again.

Those kind of sprites would make a amazing Megaman game.

WaneBlade In reply to OIlusionista [2011-07-24 06:28:14 +0000 UTC]

That is, if there ever will be another Megaman game. They had to cancel that Universe game, and now Legends 3... To be honest I wasn't all that hyped about either to begin with, but yeah, it's still a bummer. Whatever the reason is for one cancelation after another, I'm kinda feeling sorry for poor ol' Capcom, cause they must be hitting some hard times right now.

OIlusionista In reply to WaneBlade [2011-07-24 18:35:56 +0000 UTC]

yeah, but us fans can make games while Capcom doesn't bring it back.

I could be nice to make a game using sprites on this style, and 8bits edits are very easy to find here in DA.
I will make some tests on Illustrator, trying to trace some sprites.
