I'm a huge fan of the Megaman Zero series. I was nearly blown off my seat when I heard that they were making a version for DS. I'm at work right now, so I can't go link hunting due to security measures, but I'll write down what I've learned.

The game takes place in the same time period or close to that of Megaman Zero. You get to pick between two reploids; one designed as a male and another as a female. They appear to be very animeish with the Rockman dash (3D style Megaman released for PS and N64) style chest piece with khakis as pants. You get different armours which appear to resemble the generals, Zero, and X's armour. The game claims to be more open ended with towns and side quests instead of the 8 stage style common to most Megaman games. The artwork is very similar to Zero with subtle differences which make the characters appear more lively, but at the same time more childish.

I'm happy that the DS has got it's own style of Megaman. I'm definately going to be there the day it hits shelves.

Sounds interesting. Megaman has always been one of my Capcom favorites. The latest installments however are very lacking in the interest department. It feels like they just keep churning them out with no thought, just the same package with a different color ribbon this time.

The running joke around most avid gamers is that Capcom putes out about 60 Megaman games a year. Sadly enough, back in the day when I heard of a Megaman game was coming out I was very excited, but these days it's a heavy-hearted sigh.

I honestly hope that Megaman ZX will be great, but at some point Capcom has to stop milking this series just to make a couple extra dollors. I'd love to see a new Megaman that was fresh and innovative, but Capcom's reputation for beating a dead horse long after it's been dead, and even past it's date to the glue factory it's all too well known.

If Sega can do it to Sonic, then I have no doubt that Capcom can bring Megaman back to life and find new fans within the Next-Gen game market.

The articles I've read mentioned that this game is supposed to be open ended with side quests and the such, not with the selectable boss system majority of the other games have. My impression is that it's supposed to be more adventure game than the others. Not to the level of Megaman Legends (amazing game), but we can't win them all.

i have played a couple of megamen but never beat them but this one im lookin forward to
\i saw a couple of trailers for it and it looked kind of simple
