The Armor Contest Results Are In!

Tue, 27 Jul 2010 01:45:19 -0700

And so the 2010 Armor Contest comes to a close! The battles were epic and the voting very difficult. Conflict after conflict, round after round, many a great armor fell by the wayside. It was down to the wire between the Prevailer Armor, with its new age abilities and top notch specifications and the Aegis Armor, with its ancient techniques and skilled craftsmanship. After a week long clash, Prevailer was unable to live up to it's namesake. Destiny granted Aegis the victor!

We at X9 would like to thank you all very much for your participation in this year's contest! Be sure to expect other competitions in the future from MegaManX9.com...

Hope is on the Horizon...

As everyone probably knows by now, Keiji Inafune, the father of the blue bomber, was to have a little chat at the Capcom panel at San Diego's Comic-Con. The panel came and went and oddly enough, Inafune didn't have much to say. I was under the impression he was to reveal a new game of sorts, or at least completely reveal "Mega Man Universe". Odd indeed...

However he did mention some things that were certainly the highlight of his time in the spotlight. Awesome things, in fact. He spoke of many forthcoming Mega Man announcements later this year as well as an "oft-requested thing that we all want". Call me daft or deplorable, but I am fairly certain it's a Mega Man game. The many announcements he claims are coming have to pertain to this mystery title! They just have to!

Needless to say the crowd burst with enthusiasm and began to yell and proclaim "Mega Man Legends 3!". I, of course, would have first exclaimed "X9! X9! X9" but Legends 3, for me and many other fans, would be VERY welcome!

How exciting!

A Universe of Possibilities.

Fri, 16 Jul 2010 17:12:47 -0700

Recently at Capcom Unity, Mega Man Universe was revealed. Much speculation and curiosity have happened since the first bits of info were released but now we have a broader and clearer view of what this title will consist of...or do we? Below is the first trailer for the game.

As you can see, it's more geared towards the classic series. Retro references abound. One thing that has me pondering the plot of this title is the inclusion of other Capcom properties such as Ryu from Street Fighter and Arthur from Ghost 'n Goblins. Could this be a game similar to the "Super Mario Bros. Crossover" flash game making it's way around the net? Or maybe it will be similar to Little Big Planet? These are the recent theories, but what does this mean for the X series?

Quite possibly there could be X series characters appearing in this title. I mean, since other worldly characters seem to be included, why can't Mega Man's closest cousin X and co. join in too? Sounds a bit strange, sure, and I still haven't fully digested the meaning or purpose of this title, but one thing is for sure; this signifies that Mega Man Universe and Online are two different titles. =P

Custom Final Match Image Extension

Sun, 11 Jul 2010 17:40:36 -0700

Since some members are still working on their custom images for the final match, I'll be extended the time a day or two. After that, the match will start.

Keep in mind that all of these images will be preserved in the upcoming site update. There will be individual pages for many of the site features (Voicemail Bag, previous contests, etc.) like people have asked for, and all of the user generated content will be included in the history of each contest.

The update should occur shortly after the contest is over. So if you haven't made a custom match image yet...get to it!

Prevailer/Aegis is Set

Fri, 09 Jul 2010 23:13:05 -0700

The final match will be between the Prevailer/Aegis armors.

Usually you would see an image here with the two armors, setting the match. However, the match will be starting Sunday night and extending to Friday night, as we wrap up the competition. So in time for Sunday, I'm giving you the chance to come up with your own little match picture.

From now until Sunday night at 10PM EST, I'll be accepting match images for the Prevailer/Aegis match, similar to how GameFAQs accepts multiple images for their Character Battles. Whether you're using the original art, spriting the armors, doing a quick sketch of each, or working up something entirely different, you can post your image in this topic.

I'll pick my favorite, or rotate between some favorites (depending on how many are made) on the main page.
