Who would have thought that a game that is simply for XBL Arcade would give us possibly the hardest list of achievements to accomplish?
I'm talking, of course, of Mega Man 9.
Here's a breakdown of what to expect with this continuation of the 8-bit legend from the glory days of Nintendo:
Jitterbug
Clear the game in 60 minutes or less. 20
This doesn't seem TOO difficult....but it's one of those achievements that you'll only be able to complete after a few times through the game it seems.
Invincible
Clear the game without dying. 30
Anyone who has played a Mega Man game knows that this is going to be hard. I played the demo at E3 and....yeah, I don't expect to get this one.
Almost Invincible
Clear the game without continuing. 20
Not nearly as difficult as the previous one, but this is still going to be somewhat difficult to accomplish. You'll have to hope for a couple of extra lives here and there to help get through the game.
No Coffee Break
Clear the game without using any Energy or Mystery Tanks. 10
This one seems achieveable...you'll just have to resist picking up the goodies.
Peacekeeper
Clear the game by defeating the fewest number of enemies possible. 20
Plain and simple: Beat ONLY the bosses. Good luck with that.
Conservationist
Clear the game by using the least amount of Weapon Energy possible. 20
See above.
Gamers Day
Clear the game 5 times in 1 day. 20
This is probably one of the easier ones...you just have to put in the commitment for a day.
Whomp Wily!
Clear the game once. 5
If you don't get this one, just sell your 360.
Destroyer
Defeat your 1000th enemy. 20
Kill. Kill. Kill. Easy enough.
World Warrior
Defeat every type of enemy. 5
I equate this to filling out a Bestiary for any RPG, although there's no word as to whether or not you'll be able to track this.
Trusty Sidearm
Defeat the 8 Bosses with the Mega Buster. 20
No word on whether or not this means just the final blow has to be the Mega Buster or if you can ONLY use the Mega Buster. Knowing Capcom....it's the latter of the two.
Blue Bomber
Defeat a Boss without getting damaged. 10
.....you're joking, right?
So, there you have it. This is Capcom's proverbial "middle finger" to those who are obsessed with getting Gamerpoints. Anyone who collects all 200 of these...my hat goes off to you. That's one hell of an accomplishment.
