Return of the king

It's good to have you back, old friend
In the aftermath of the dramatic departure of Keiji Inafune from Capcom back in 2010, it seemed that he had taken Mega Man with him.

gameplay feel of classic MM games, but graphically updated, some new nifties, looks good in the vids, can't tell if the boss selection is open like in other MM games, but if it's not broken...so I'm assuming they will keep it, the $30 price tag is a HUGE turn on and with the "replay value" being up there with Metroids, Zeldas & Mario Karts, that $30 just makes it a better value, even if they up the physical copy to $40, still worth it.
From what I've seen, the graphics look cheap, and near-generic to me; very little feel of the MM artsyle here. (Edit: I'm not saying it always needs to be 8/16/32-bit.) Nevertheless, the gameplay is primarily what makes, or breaks a game. I would say story is the next thing. This looks to be another Mega Man, to me.
