Mega Man 9 Story Revealed

Capcom Japan passed along a few details today on Mega Man 9's storyline, just in case you wanted to know why the Blue Bomber is busting out with the horizontal blast once again after all these years.

The story begins after Mega Man has restored peace to the world. One day, robots throughout the world go berserk and turn violent. Of course, everyone thinks this to be the work of Mega Man rival Dr. Wily... until Wily jacks into television and frames Mega Man creator Dr. Light! Soon, the police arrive and take Light to jail.

It's up to Mega Man to restore Light's honor.

"Rise in order to stop Wily's Ambition," finishes the opening for the Japanese version. In Japan, the game is known fully as "Rockman 9: Revival of Ambition."

Before going at Wily's ambition, we'd suggest checking out our new Mega Man 9 screens and artwork. The art includes sprites for the major characters. The screens are all from the Japanese introduction.
