I have never been this excited about a video game.

Finally! It's about time Sonic steps up to a main title again.

Looks like a fine return to the old school much like what Capcom is doing with Megaman.

I think Street Fighter 4 could be considered a revival in a way as well.

Does anyone know for a fact if the movie "Asroboy" is a knock off of Megaman? or something to get the younger generation ready for a game using a character with those types of abilities. The boy looks like megaman, his arms turn into weapons, and the bosses look big and have very round features that reminded me alot of Megaman.
the first time i say the preview, i thought it was going to be for Megaman, then the name came up as Astroboy and i thought "FAKE!"

Dude, are you kidding? Astroboy was created in 1952, it's old as the hills.

Ah, i've never been into comic books, so that's how it missed me. So was Megaman a rip-off of Astroboy then?

I don't know if I'd say rip off, but I'm sure that the success might have contributed to its creation.
