Mega Man 9 Stop-Motion Video is Great Beyond Words

Posted Thu, 30 Oct 2008 by Damien McFerran

Ok, so this isn't strictly WiiWare news but we just had to share this totally radical video with you - and it must be worth watching because we haven't used the expression 'radical' since we were 12.

Hardcore Blue Bomber fan Nicolas Ménard has constructed this amazing stop-motion animation video which sees Mega Man navigating his way through a whole range of real-world situations. And it rocks!

Behold!

There's also a slightly better quality version here.

I'm a bit scared of taking a bite out of my Oreo's now, in case they kill me.
Oh, and just to confirm: would you guys say that this video was, uh, I dunno... awesome?

That was pretty weird, but good. If only the game wasn't so dang hard, I might like it more...

I gotta admit...
That was awesome!
I dont really like Megaman, but that video was pretty cool.
Its even more cooler since it was a stop motion video, it probably took him a while to get it just right.
It'd be funny if the developers saw this and used his idea, "Megaman: Encounters in the kitchen!"
That'd be kinda Cool!

Pretty cool video. Wish there was more Megaman though and less random guy sliding on couch.

I wouldn't care about what kind of responses Megaman 9 has received (shoot me) but that video rocked :D I'm a sucker for stop animation, and it's stuff like this that so easily make my day!

As nobody has mention it, it's my duty to say that this video was AWESOME!!!
I love stop motion, I've done a few videos myself and it's so hard to get it this right, congratulations to Nicolas for this nice animation.

That is so awesome. Would be more awesome though if he jumped through the boss door, which is something I always do. Anyone else?
