Mega Man 9 Gets DLC This Week - Proto Man!

Not even a couple of weeks old and Capcom is already flooding Mega Man 9 players with downloadable content across all three consoles. This week sees the release of two different packs.

No word yet on a date for North America or Europe, but with Capcom being so hot for the West lately, it shouldn't be too much later. More »

Mega Man 9 - Winging It

I’ll tell you a secret: I got kicked out of arts and crafts in fourth grade. I was too busy beating up flirting with Patrick McHellen to pay attention to stuff like glue sticks and foldable tabs. More »
