Mega Man 9 out Sep. 24

via Computer and Video Games


Capcom's retro platformer sequel will be available for download on Wii Ware in Japan on September 24 - in a little under two weeks time.

That's according to Japanese mag Dengeki Online, which says that the awesome-looking NES-style follow-up will cost 1000 Wii Points to buy (about seven quid.)

There's no word on when the game will appear on Xbox Live Arcade and PSN at this point, but we can only assume that they'll appear there around the same time - especially as the 24th is a Wednesday, Xbox Live users.

In case you're oblivious to what the fudge we're on about, Mega Man 9 is a retro-styled follow-up developed to mimic the visual style of the first Mega Man games released in the 80s. The music and cut scenes are also similarly styled.
