There were even rumors that initial development started on some old Famicom dev kits.

Oh wow that's old man. Even the bad dialog that stops half way through mid sentence.

They got the cutscene artwork fucking spot-on like 4-6, but man...that's by far the most uninspired NES Megaman music to date. Very disappointed so far.

Yeah the intro music is weak, but I really dig the music from the trailer...

Let's hope that its only the intro that has that blandness to it.

Honestly, the music at the very end of the intro sounds decent, though not quite up to the trailer's music. I can't wait to hear this game. And its inevitable remix.

Amen!

The only way to deactivate the ray beam and fight back the vampire alien threat is with a complicated series of foot patterns on the device's control board that looks remarkably like a DDR pad. We will all praise this man for saving our lives and buy him a mountain of stuffed animals.
