Eh, what the hell. In for a penny, in for a pound, as I believe the old expression goes. As long as we’re reporting rumors for Mega Man 9, may as well revisit the source of yesterday’s.
According to Protodude’s source, “The Shadow,” he can’t reveal any more gameplay specifics, but offered a hint as to one of the game’s plot elements: “Robots have expiring dates.”
As Protodude says, that’s sort of deep for a “traditional” plot, not to mention confusing, as that seemed to be a large point of significance to the plot of the Mega Man ZX series, wherein the Reploids were given artificial lifespans. Makes one wonder, as these statements from The Shadow seem more than a little suspect.
He adds “More to come. We just started testing the later half of the game, no signs of an X storyline yet. Keep in mind, a lot of what we test lacked some of the ingame text.”
On a related note, Protodude said he contacted the OFLC, who have never in their history listed a “rumored” game.
