Dear Reader:
Capcom says the Mega Man 9 secret still exists...but we're getting closer to discovering it
Check out this latest post over at the official Capcom blogs…
Shortly after the release of Mega Man 9, as fans were discovering loads of great secrets, I made an innocent little post, mentioning an as-yet-undiscovered nugget in the game.
The Mega Man-loving internets were not pleased that a secret might have escaped their all-seeing eyes, and rolled up their collective sleeves to unearth the nugget. I’ve been completely blown away by their response, which has generated a virtual encyclopedia of amazing little Mega Man tricks and trivia (the video above is just one small part of the total).
Though they haven’t discovered the it yet, I did want to say that everyone at Capcom is impressed by the research, and offer this: Based on what I’ve seen so far, I’d say you’re about halfway towards discovering the secret.
Most Mega Man fans want to strangle me for not spilling the beans, but I <3 mysteries and they’re getting pretty rare in the internet age. I didn’t intend to torture anyone when I mentioned it so long ago, and I’d advise you to just let it go if it’s driving you nuts, but to those still searching, I promise that:
-the secret is not a snipe hunt, macguffin, or otherwise faked.
-I will tell you when it is discovered.
-AFAIK (and I keep tabs), it has not yet been discovered.
Man, now I need to get back into the game and keep toiling away. I would kill to find this secret and share it with the world. Who wants to put together a Mega Man 9 task force with me?!
