News: Mega Man 10 Confirmed for WiiWare

The January issue of Nintendo Power magazine (on sale 12/22/2009) will announce that Capcom has confirmed the release of Mega Man 10 for WiiWare. Following the success of Mega Man 9, Capcom has decided that the WiiWare channel is the perfect fit for the old school graphics and play style that Mega Man 10 will offer. This time around, players will be able to play as Mega Man, Proto Man, or a third character which hasn't been announced yet.

According to the magazine article, "Like Mega Man 9 (released for WiiWare in 2008), Mega Man 10 remains true to the series's roots with 8-bit-style graphics and sound and tried-and-true Mega Man gameplay." It goes on to say that, "Though the concept remains the same in Mega Man 10... this time you're fighting to find parts of a vaccine-making device needed to cure robots of Robotenza - a virus that causes infected 'bots to overheat and go out of control."


I don't know about you guys, but Mega Man was one of my favorite games to play on both NES and SNES, so this sounds like a title that I'm just going to have to check out.
