More Mega Man 9 DLC Rolls Out

The second batch of downloadable content for IntiCreate's downloadable Mega Man 9 will arrive this week, bringing new modes and stages to the 8-bit-style platformer.

While the last set of downloads sold for $2-3, this round will sell for $1 per pack, and will be available later today for Wii owners, tomorrow for Xbox 360 players, and Thursday, October 23 for PlayStation 3 gamers.

• Hard Mode (100 Wii Points / $1) - Dubbed Hero Mode in Japan, this mode enables you to play the entire game on an increased difficulty level with alternate enemy distribution and spawning points. Hard Mode is not compatible with Rankings or Challenges Modes.

• Expert Mode (100 Wii Points / $1) - Dubbed Super Hero Mode Japan, this mode represents the apex of Mega Man 9 difficulty settings and is not for the novice Mega Man 9 player. This mode triples the level of difficulty from the default Mega Man 9 game. Expert Mode is not compatible with Rankings or Challenges Modes.

• Special Time Attack Stage (100 Wii Points / $1) - This DLC gives you an additional stage for Time Attack Mode, complete with an all new level and Robot Master Boss, "Fake Man." Similar in difficulty to the Willy Stages, players will have a fun time tackling this time sensitive competitive stage. Special Time Attack Stage is not compatible with Challenge Mode.
