Mega Man 9 Released, DLC announced

Posted by Soulskill on from the dr-wily-returns dept.

Today Capcom released Mega Man 9, the franchise's return to the 8-bit styles of the '90s. It's currently available for the Wii, and will be coming to the Playstation Network and Xbox Live soon. Capcom also announced some upcoming downloadable content, which will include extra difficulty modes and a stage that never ends, in which you are endlessly attacked. It will also give you the option of playing as Proto Man. Unfortunately, since the game is available through downloads only, the awesome box art will not be available to the public. Gamesradar has some screenshots and boss pictures.

    This game is only a way to play old-skool Mega-man on the newer platforms and it isn't the first MM game to do it.

    Nothing new to see here, move along.

    On the other hand, there are so many damn characters that they could start a Mega Man MMORPG -- would it be called a MMMMORPG? :)

    Remember, the Wii can play Gamecube games, so you can just get a Megaman Anniversary Collection for the Gamecube to play.

    Didn't Anascape get an injunction barring Nintendo from making and selling GameCube controllers, which are required to play GameCube games on a Wii system? I seem to remember Anascape suing Nintendo over a patent on a spring-loaded analog button that has a tactile snap at the far end of its travel.
