Before getting the second version, I played with pen and paper.

The man with shield and sword was my reference for the sprite...

You are right, I didn't copy the hands (my mistake)... And maybe I'll have to add a neck to separate the head a bit.

Playing the games in the Megaman Collection (PS2) loking for inspiration and reference, I found many tricks used in GeminiMan Stage from MM3, They have a scrolling star field, made with sprites, and then they use color cicling in the palete for the background.

Didn't play MM6 to see the Sunset scene in Tomahawk stage, maybe it's not split screen, but sprites well done.

In the Star Ocean videos, there is a wave/ripple effect in all the screen, some ideas in how they achieved it.

Mockup for Dinamite Man stage.



Ptoing's micro-mega-man is very nice!

I know of the "no edits" rule ,but Mettols(the yellow hats) and Sniper Joes (the green men with shields) themed for the stage???

Now that more images have surfaced, we can talk about the direction this game is taking.

To make a better comparison of the game graphics, I have been playing the NES games in the Anniversary Collection in my PS2, currently, 2 bosses left in MM1, 5 in MM2, 4 in MM3, and MM4 was finished in one sitting.

I'm a huge Rockman fan, and as many others I found MM2 a masterpiece, but my favorite games are MM3 and MM4, for the gameplay mechanics that introduced (Slide and Rockbuster).

In all the screens shown so far, I have not seen slides nor buster shots... this makes me worry, they aren't simply downgrading the graphics from the last games, but also the gameplay.

I dont see much sense to release a mainline megaman as a download game.

I agree completely with this, a game all the fans have been waiting so long, should not be released as a download.
