Evidence Leaks of Roll DLC for Mega Man 9 (UPDATE)

I apologize for the awkwardness of this, folks, but something has come up. Capcom has requested that we take down the information that was previously posted here. While I don’t like covering up a story, my hands are tied when it comes to what Capcom wants. You may be able to look around elsewhere for this info. Again, I apologize for this inconvenience.
Update: With the creation of the Capcom Unity Ministry of Localized Enforcement Synergy, we can now show you the original leaked press release again!

Capcom Releases Bonus Mega Man 9 Downloadable Content Pack

SAN MATEO, CA — January, 3rd 2009 —And you thought that Proto Man was the last content pack that we had in store for you for Mega Man 9! Capcom is proud to announce that Mega Man’s sister, Roll, is finally getting the spotlight as a new downloadable character in Mega Man 9. She will be joining Proto Man and Mega Man in their fight against Doctor Wiley using her unique housekeeping abilities!

Roll Content Pack – Play the game as Roll. Some of Roll’s abilities may differ vastly from Mega Man and Proto Man’s. As a housekeeping robot, Roll has the Mop Up ability, Dusting ability, and a super water bucket move that helps her clean house! However, Roll also can only sustain one hit in damage and has triple bounce back when she is hit. There is no story for Roll and she is not compatible with Rankings or Challenges. (200 Wii Points)
