XBLRadio Review - “Mega Man 9” (XBLA)

Capcom’s Blue Bomber made his triumphant return the same exact way he kicked off his career on the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1987, in classic 2D. This was a daring move in Capcom’s part, but after playing Mega Man 9, the nostalgia came back and I felt like I was seven again. This new iteration of Mega Man reminded me so much of Mega Man 2, which it should, seeing that it was the basis for Mega Man 9. The only difference here is that we got leaderboards, achievements, and downloadable content. Mega Man 9 is only a single player game with the online leaderboards, it is an action/platformer, and has a rating of E for everyone.

New Mega Man DLC

After only being out for just a few weeks, Mega Man 9 is getting downloadable content this week. WiiWare Channel will get its DLC today, while XBLA will get the content tomorrow, with the PSN following on Thursday. We are getting two pieces of content, Endless attack and Proto Man Mode. Here is the press release of what these two items will have in store for us.

Endless Attack – Test your skills on a stage without end. Try to break the record for getting the farthest. Results will be displayed in the Rankings page. Not compatible with other Challenges.

 

Proto Man Mode - Play the game as Proto Man. Some of Proto Man’s abilities may differ from Mega Man’s. Proto Man has the Charge Shot ability, Power Slide ability, and a shield that he can utilize to deflect bullets at enemies. However, Proto Man also takes double damage and has double bounce back when he is hit.

 

There is no story for Proto Man and he is not compatible with Rankings or Challenges.

No word on the cost for this DLC, but for all you die hard Mega Man fans that might have beat the game already, here is some more content for you.
Also adding to this, rumor has it that there will be more DLC available on October 20th.
Check out some images after the jump.
