Capcom Releases Two Mega Man 9 Downloadable Content Packs

when do we europeans get the download?

Logic would suggest on Friday since Europe got Mega Man 9 the following Friday after it became available in the US. Having said that, the press release didn't specifically mention a US release, so maybe everyone will get it today.

Hmm.. protoman has some annoying downsides huh. Endless mode seems pretty good thou.

I'll probably at least try both of these packs out. I never quit while I'm ahead.

200 points spare. only got the game last night so I can wait a while til I can attempt the endless attack. Protoman hands down for me.

Tried DLC 20 minutes ago, still nothing up yet.

What they need to do is offer the ability to use characters from previous games already released on VC... I'd pay another $5 to use the MM2 bosses in 9...

Playable Metal Man would be awsome.

I sincerely hope that the DLC is cool enough to be worth the extra points, since it can add up rather quickly...

I'll get the Proto Man pack but not the Endless Attack one, unless I see a video of it and it interests me.

Awe.. I feel I need to download these. But all of my points will be offset again haha..

Yes to both, once I finish Wily's stage (why, yes, I'm taking my time!).

i'll get the protoman pack

must get protoman

I bet many of you will be happy about this.
I haven't bought/tried MM9 myself as of late.

oooooh! I'll have to download Proto Man with my leftover points from Shining Force II

When I try it, I always get an error code, which I think is 208070. Please help me!

PAL regions are only getting this DLC on Friday.

I don't know what to do, after some purchasing last week, I ended up with 500 wiipoints, I could just buy these DLC, but I haven't finish megaman 9 just yet; besides I've been thinking of finally DL DYC, which I've been putting off. Anyway, I'm gonna buy all this stuff sooner or later.

Too bad I don't have any Wii Points. =[
I was hoping to get Proto Man and Endless Attack today. Oh well...

@BassX0: I can't remember the exact dates (though they aren't far off at all) for the European release dates of DLC, but I do recall that it is all listed (with pricing and release dates) in one of the last pages of the game's Operations Guide (available on the Wii Shop Channel).

YAY!

Proto Man pack FTW!!!

Before I go download it, the infinite level... do you start with all the weapons and a set number of power-ups/lives etc?

@Mayhem
That is correct. You have all the weapons, including both forms of Rush, one life, and no power-ups.

Endless is surprisingly the more entertaining pack by far... though to be fair to my good pal Proto Man, I just played through the same exact levels with Mega Man recently, so I can't say I should have expected much. I will have to give it some time before replaying with Proto.

I think I'll start with endless, have 300 points sitting there anyways

@Loooca - I am too. I can't find the time to sit all the way through Wily's Castle. I still just purchased Proto Man and Endless Attack. Both are good fun.

Gotta get me the Protoman download and use him in the game too!

Not so interested on the endless stage. I want to download protoman though, but it sucks the lack of story and no records for him :/.

Downloaded both.. And I havn't even beaten the game with just megaman yet... I've been busy >_<

I only beat 3 bosses with proto man. Jewel man is almost impossible since the boulder mid boss gives a lot of damage. I wished proto mans shield actually did something useful.

I thought Proto mans sheild is pretty useless too.
Here are the pros to using Proto man. He has the charge shot, a sheild, the slide, and he starts the game with the Rush Jet.

Here are the cons. Double damage, he fires two shots to mega mans three, no shop upgrades, and no story mode

dont forget when hit,hes pushed further back,causing him to sometimes fall.

The cons outweigh the pros but its still fun.

While I immensly enjoyed MM9, I doubt I'll buy either of these DLC. Just my own personal opinion but neither really pique my interest. One of the beauties of DLC is one can pick and choose which aspects of a game they want while not paying for the aspects one doesn't want.

You know what would make amazing downloadable content?

The arranged soundtrack!

What arranged soundtrack?

@ Morphballer, do you mean the original soundtrack?

@tantrumario
Yes I forgot he does get pushed further

I wish he did not take double damage. I mean why make the game so hard when they are going to release 2 harder difficulites this month

I recommend passing on protoman, Sorry! I like morphball's idea of a remixed soundtrack

I'm getting both of these, once I get MM9 that is.

"Why make the game harder when they are going to release 2 harder difficulties this month?"

Capcom likes to watch us squirm, that's why.

Protoman a lot like Richter mode in Symphony of the Night. No story, and it's more difficult. It's still kind of cool, though.

Get both if you can. They're worth it.
