[news] Rockman 9 Japanese Commercial and Release Date

First footage of Rockman 9 (copied from niconico, clearly) is here:

Release date of September 08. It's a Japanese commercial with new music, so I don't think this one is a hoax. (eyerolls so hard)

Some interesting commentary about the game in general is here: http://www.gamespite.net/toastywiki/index.php/Games/EverythingWrongIsRightAgain

(thanks as usual to protodude's for the links)

From niconico:

Contains clear versions of several screencaps from the game, jaunty music. Sort of a nice summation of what's coming and has been shown officially so far.

The Japanese commercial, original.
Something interesting about it: The ending of the commercial gives these copyright credits:

(c) Capcom Japan
(c) Capcom USA
(c) Daletto Co, Ltd.
(c) (kanji)/Gold Lightning International co, Ltd.

Not a sign of "Inticreates" on there...

Appears to be gameplay video from the first Wily fortress. Before you complain about the fact that it reuses elements from RM2 (the infamous Wily eyebrow wiggle, music, and lead-in animation as well as the final dragon boss for the level), I've heard from a couple of sources that RM9 DOES reuse several elements of music and spriting from RM2. Additionally, the weapons match weapons seen fired in other screenshots, and the Spike Shoes are visible in use throughout the stage as a switchable weapon. (a nice addition, FINALLY- I'll take that over charged shots or that stupid, stupid slide move!)

I believe this is real footage- or a good enough fake to give an idea of the feel of the game.
