Wow, Capcom’s getting some real mileage out of Mega Man 9. It’s another week, and there is more downloadable content on the way for every retrohead’s wet dream. This week, you can exchange your money for some extra difficulty modes! You’re going to do it as well, because you are Capcom’s performing seals. Every last one of you.
As well as the new Hard and Expert modes, an extra time attack stage is also up for grabs, which includes a new boss. Here’s what Capcom is offering:
Hard Mode – Dubbed Hero Mode in Japan, this mode enables you to play the entire game on an increased difficulty level with alternate enemy distribution and spawning points. Hard Mode is not compatible with Rankings or Challenges Modes.Expert Mode – Dubbed Super Hero Mode Japan, this mode represents the apex of Mega Man 9 difficulty settings and is not for the novice Mega Man 9 player. This mode triples the level of difficulty from the default Mega Man 9 game. Expert Mode is not compatible with Rankings or Challenges Modes.Special Time Attack Stage – This DLC gives you an additional stage for Time Attack Mode, complete with an all new level and Robot Master Boss, “Fake Man.” Similar in difficulty to the Willy Stages, players will have a fun time tackling this time sensitive competitive stage. Special Time Attack Stage is not compatible with Challenge Mode.
The new DLC will be released today on WiiWare, tomorrow on Xbox Live and Thursday on the PlayStation Network. Is it just me, or does this week’s content have more than a whiff of the Namco Bandai about it?
