I really can’t convey in words how much this announcement excites me. Maybe I should use interpretive dance. Whatever the case, Mega Man 9 is officially confirmed (+1 awesome), coming to WiiWare (+2 awesome) and utilizing a retro style similar to the original NES series (+ so much awesome a brick just fell out of my rear-endicus).

The game will be developed by Inti Creates, a development studio made of of key people involved in the development of the first three Mega Man games for the NES. I think a second brick just fell out. Confirmed bosses? Magma Man, Galaxy Man, Jewel Man, Concrete Man, Hornet Man, Plug Man, Tornado Man, and — wait for it — Splash Woman.
