During the trailer, the first stage shown looks like a baseball field, and the first enemy looks like he's holding a baseball. I think the 2nd boss is definitely Baseball Man (Ball Man?), you can see the outline of his cap below:

That's what I think, anyways.

Edit: Yeah ok, that's it. Later on in the trailer, there are giant baseballs on the wall..

Not quite certain about him, either.

I think this might be Marble Man, or something similar? In the screenshot, it looks like a truck full of marbles is driving by, and it has a kind of marble-ish color scheme. Plus, the character looks somewhat spherical...

Or Gangsta Man like someone said, and those are gold coins driving by.

There's one possibility I noticed for the robot leader in the sewer level.

If you squint just right, the shape does kind of look like a toilet bowl with a toilet paper roll on the top of its head. It would at least be appropriate for a sewer stage.

That's pretty good, I like it

Okay, so I purchased Mega Man 9 for Live Arcade as soon as it came out, but I haven't completed it once because it was so hard. I recently picked it up, seeing I have some time on my hands to play games now. I've done Galaxy Man in, and now I'm at Jewel Mans stage and let me tell ya', tap-dancing Christ is this game hard. The jumps and spikes are killing me. Does it get better if I keep playing it? I feel more in control, but maybe it's because I've played the same map OVER and OVER again for the last hour. Sorry to whine; I just want to know - will I get better if I keep at it? Because the game is a lot of fun, just very frustrating.

Except that's not the robot master for that stage. This is:

Who clearly has a basball mit in one hand and american footbal shoulder pads (and maybe helmet)

Yup, you're right

I realized I screwed up after I saw the outline with the baseball mit.

Posting to show off my new Mega Man 9 related avatar, Bunby Heli aka the coolest enemy to ever grace a video game.

Speaking from the perspective of someone who played MM9 as their first game in the series and absolutely fell in love with the game and the series, MM9 was hard as gently caress during my first runs through. I can basically speedrun the game with my eyes closed now, but if you think MM9 is easy, go hand the controller off to someone who's never played MM9 and have them play Jewel Man's stage. - seriously. That stage (and many others) are beyond "difficult", they're gently caress-you-bullshit (but that's the fun).

"Water Shield?" Really?

I like how it's exactly the same as the Jewel Shield from 9, except it has 8 orbitals instead of 4.

I don't know if this has been posted, but found this browsing around today: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1BdmGvpFYI - video from Sheep Man's stage. Looks really fun, I think the cursor enemy is particular cool.

Is everyone too busy playing this to post their impressions? The thread has gone silent and today is RELEASE DAY! (for Wii owners..)

Most people are probably too busy with classes and jobs to play until tonight.

Did you forget what forum you were posting on again?

Also, in regards to Namek-jin Arse 'sperging out about quality of the MM10 soundtrack earlier in this thread, listen to this and tell me if you still feel that way: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhkNJv3SLww

People playing 10 are posting in the Mega Man 10 thread that was linked here a few posts ago. That's why this thread has gone silent.

gently caress getting 100% in MM10, though. Beating the Hard bosses flawlessly with only the mega buster? Jesus Christ.

Wow. Now be honest, did you do it on Easy mode?
