[Update] Mega Man 8 Available Now On PlayStation Network
Update: Mega Man 8 – the last modern core Mega Man game (9 and 10 are retro) – is now available.
You can grab the game here for $5.99.
Original story:
Following the successful release of The Misadventures of Tron Bonne, another PlayStation Mega Man classic is coming to PSN.
Mega Man 8 will be available on PlayStation 3, Vita, and PSP starting Thursday, May 27. It's a highly regarded Mega Man game, even if it does have some of the worst voice acting Capcom has ever delivered. It is also the last core Mega Man released before Capcom decided to pursue a retro direction for Mega Man 9 and 10.
You can watch us play The Misadventures of Tron Bonne on a recent episode of Replay by heading here.

Our Take
I'm more of a Mega Man X guy myself, but this is definitely a title I am excited to see appear in the PSN classics library. It's not a particularly rare PlayStation game (especially compared to The Misadventures of Tron Bonne), but we're at a point now where physical copies of classic games are getting universally hard to find.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
