We've got to admit that we're awfully excited about the recently revealed Mega Man ZX, a brand new DS entry in the platforming series that forgets all that 3D nonsense and takes us back to that good 'ole 2D jumping through-the-boss-door gameplay we obsessively love. We seriously dig Mega Man and have gotten over the fact that he's actually not a man at all, but a little robotic thief that strips hilariously named enemies (Clown Man, we're looking at you) of their surprisingly useful powers.The official website is up now and, while not revealing much information (even less if you can't read the Japanese characters) does give you a glimpse at the new spiffy saucer-eyed character designs and the newly created Mega Woman. Girrrrrl power and all that. Anyone care to translate this for us? We'll pay you in Zeenies.

Here's what I can glean from the J-site:
The heroes names are Van and Eiru (Air?). Eiru is the first Mega Man heroin, which is kind of sad when you realize this is like the 30th Mega Man game.
Living Metal is a mysterious alloy mined from ruins. There are various kinds of Living Metal, and when one fuses with your consciousness it unlocks all sorts of special powers and whatnot, and you become MODEL X.
The final piece of art shows MODEL Z. What is the connection between MODEL X and MODEL Z?, asks the teaser text. Is that supposed to be Zero? And what's with the steaming mug of cocoa? Mysterious abound.
