June 26^th, 2008 (2:21pm) - The newest issue of Nintendo Power has confirmed what has long been speculated about -- Mega Man 9 is real, and it’s coming to Nintendo’s WiiWare service.

The game will be presented in classic form, with 8-bit graphics (and presumably sounds). The enemy list will include the following robots.

Magma Man
Galaxy Man
Jewel Man
Concrete Man
Hornet Man
Plug Man
Tornado Man
Splash Woman

You read that right. Dr. Wily is apparently now an equal opportunity evil genius and has granted Spalsh Woman the chance to take out the Blue Bomber.

The game is being developed by Inticreates, the house behind the Mega Man ZX series, along with both the Mega Man Zero games and the first three Mega Man X titles as well.

The game was revealed in Nintendo Power, so there is a good chance it could be coming to other platforms as well. The magazine typically ignores other systems, so be sure to stay tuned for more details. Check out some pictures from the magazine at the source link below.
