Mega Man 9 for the VC

Thursday, September 25th, 2008

We expunged only briefly about one of the new WiiWare releases, Mega Man 9, for the virtual console.  If you were an NES Mega Man player (as I was) back in the day, you’re going to need to go ahead and pick this up, Bill Lumberg style.  Capcom’s “blue bomber” is back, he’s mad, and he’s ready to kick some butt in this new release.  IGN has an informative article (as they always do) on the Mega Man 9 release.  From the article:

Capcom Entertainment, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, today announced that Mega Man 9 is now available for download on Nintendo’s WiiWare service, and will be available for the PlayStation Network on September 25, and Xbox Live Arcade on October 1. The original 2D classic Mega Man returns, bringing the series back to its roots with retroaction-platform gameplay and NES-inspired old school graphics. Relive the Mega Man experience with maniacally themed environments, a host of power-ups, and classically-inspired bosses, each with their own unique weapons and weaknesses. Mega Man 9 is rated E for Everyone by the Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB) and is available for,1000 Wii Points, $9.99 PlayStation Network, or 800 Microsoft Points.

You know you need some Wii Points for these great releases – go get a Wii Points Card!
