Mega Man 9 Released, DLC announced 87
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.

Um, no. This isn't a rehash of old mega man games, this is a brand new game in the classic 8 bit style. If you're a mega man fan, you've probably played the hell out of the old ones anyway, so a new mega man is actually a big deal.
With any luck this will prove that there's still a market for classic 2d game play. With the Wii's virtual console doing so well, and updates of classic franchises like 1942, it's a pretty good time to be a retro gamer.
Personally, I'd really like to play this game, but buying a Wii or Xbox 360 for what's essentially an 8 bit game seems like a bit of overkill. Anyone know if this is going to make it to the PC?

Actually it's released on WiiWare first. The other releases are ports.

You have to BUY the privilige of playing as ProtoMan, sliding and Mega Buster with real money. The game only costs $10, but I've heard that playing as ProtoMan will cost you $4, and sliding will cost you $2.
No, just Hell no. I will not pay for something I can do for free since Mega Man 3
