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.
Well then, get ready to shell over FORTY BUCKS to Wal Mart. Seems that Harmonix has teamed up with everyone’s favorite neighborhood superstore to bring us 18 songs from the Australian rock legends in a standalone disc format. The game booklet will include an export code that will allow you to download the tracks to your console for use in Rock Band / Rock Band 2.
What is up everybody at PN and XBL Radio, B4 here to give you the latest news as to what is going on in the gaming community. Today I actually have a news story for you from the world of Nintendo, so let us get right to it.
According to an article in which I found on the site gamesindustry.biz, which acquired this information from Nikkei Net, a new version of the DS that focuses on multimedia capabilities is set to release sometime this year in Japan.
Here are some of the new features that it will have:
1. Built in camera
2. Music playback capabilities
3. Improved wireless functions (not sure what this means, maybe better wi-fi support?)
4. Larger screens
I know it might seem like these new features are not all that special at first glance. If you take some time to think about it however, some of them might give a few titles that support wi-fi on the DS an even better chance, for the people who play them, to be more interactive with other people who play Nintendo games online.
Camera support could allow to import your face into a game, music playback might allow you to add your own soundtrack to a game, the possibilities are endless.
Now no pricing detail, or release date of the US version of this new system have been released yet, but it is said to cost JPY 20,000 in Japan, and will be releasing over there later this year.
When more details about this new version of the DS come out, I will let you know, until then, this is all I have to give you.

I have been waiting to rip this game a new one for quite awhile, and now that I have a little free time on my hands, it is going to get what it rightfully deserves. What is up everybody, B4 here again to bring you a review of quite possibly one of the worst games that I have ever played for the Wii, Donkey Kong Barrel Blast.
Now you might be thinking “How could B4 review a game about the Wii and give it a bad rating, he is a nintendo fanboy?”. I am just as much of a fanboy as the next Nintendo gamer, but this game does not do the Wii any justice at all whatsoever. It is so bad that i am going to give every section of this game an F, and not even bother splitting it up into sections, simply because the game does not even deserve it. So before I tell you what is bad about this game, I will tell you one good thing about it, and that is the amount of modes that you can play.

Hey what is up everybody at PN and XBL Radio, Mr B4 here to give you the latest news as to what is going on in the gaming community. I do not have news for you today, what I do have for you is a review of a game that I recently played for the Wii. The game is called We Love Golf, it was developed by Camelot Software Planning, and published by Capcom. It is basically an arcade style golf game like Mario or Hot Shots Golf, but with Wii controls.
Before I get into my thoughts about this game, let us take some time to go over the modes available:
