Capcom’s Mega Man 9 is taking the next-gen approach of microtransactions with the announcement of downloadable content that will be coming in October.
Five add-ons have been announced that include two higher difficulty settings, an Endless Attack mode, and a new Time Attack stage. The ability to play as Mega Man’s teammate Proto Man completes the promised five.
Developed by Inti Creation, the game is currently available on the Wii Shop Channel with an Xbox Live Marketplace and Playstation Store release to come later this week.
