IGN has a two-page review of Mega Man 9’s Proto Man mode, which will be available as downloadable content on October 6th. As we reported before, Proto Man has the luxuries of sliding and charged shots, as well as his shield, but he takes more damage and recoils further. It also appears Proto Man won’t […]

Capcom promised it, and now you can buy it. For $24.95 you can buy a Mega Man 9 t-shirt with the beautifully bizarre mock package art by Gerald de Jesus. The shirts will ship September 30th, and I’m betting they’ll go fast, so if you want one don’t hesitate! News Credit: GoNintendo TMMN Staff
