If you’ve been waiting for your chance to get in on some new retro Mega Man action, you’ll be able to do so very soon. Mega Man 9 became available for the Wii yesterday, PS3 gets it on thursday, but Xbox 360 owners will have to wait until October 1st to get their hands on the Blue Bomber.
What’s more is that beginning the week of October 6th, you’ll be able to unlock Proto Man as a playable character. What mighty task must you complete in order to get the extra character? You must transfer 160 MS Points, 200 Wii Points or $1.99 to your respective content provider. Does it suck to pay for the privilege to play another character? Yes. Is two bucks really that big of a deal? No.
