Actually Mega Man 9 was released in Japan for one of the gameboy systems...but yes I heard they were to revive it and remake it from scratch since it was never officially released in the states, they jumped from 8 on the PS1 to X.

I am a fan of all platform megaman games, even though the stories got silly and so did the bosses in the X series...but still I do enjoy the classic platform feel that megaman still brings to the table.

Here's my question, are they EVER gonna fill in the missing gap and explain what happened to the original Mega Man before X arrived?

I'm pretty sure it's a completely new game. Nothing I can find on the internet tells otherwise.

Um, actually the game lgolem is referring to is Mega Man and Bass and it was not Megaman 9.

Positives:
- New 8 bit Mega Man action!
- Was designed in the same vein as Megaman 2. (As a result, there is no charge shot or slide.)
- Ramped up the difficulty unlike the dumbed down difficulty in 4-8.
- $10 on WiiWare, XBox Live Arcade, and Playstation Network.

Negatives:
- Charging for DLC separately from the main release.
- Does not work with the retro usb adapter or gamecube controller. (I really wanted to use my NES Advantage on it!)
- Those where not children in the NES age will pull their hair out due to how hard this game is.
- No PC release. (cough, Steam, cough)

Ok, I'm really unhappy with their decision to try to force wireless faggotry upon me so I will not play until an option to use wired controllers is given.
