You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
Those who despise DLC, turn your backs now, because Mega Man 9 is overflowing with it.

The good news though is that you don’t need to buy the extra content to enjoy the game, but just to amp up the difficulty. Pretty lame, huh? But even after it is all said and done, the full Mega Man 9 experience will cost you $18. This is what you’ll be paying for.

Five downloadable content types listed:

    1. Endless Attack
    2. Hero Mode
    3. Superhero Mode
    4. Proto Man Mode
    5. Special Mode

Having to pay to make your game harder seems odd, while maybe hardcore fans will want to do this, it's hard to see the point. But, for a true old school feel, 18$ sounds good to me.

for the be proto man i can understand as dlc. the spical stages i kindia agree.for diffulty....really? that to me is stupid pay for diffictly thats just stupid not even in one package.
I wouldnt pay for a harder difficulty. thats just retarded even for a hardcore fan. but to play as Protoman, HELL YEAH
This game is out in America already, right? Anyone downloaded it yet?

I'll be buying it at some point in the near future, but I'm not too sure about the DLC though.
I'll get the endless level one for funsies, but I doubt I'll get much else.
"The good news though is that you don’t need to buy the extra content to enjoy the game, but just to amp up the difficulty. Pretty lame, huh?"

is it just me, or does that sentence not make much sense?

I'm excited about the downloads. Thanks for adding it all up for us!
"The good news though is that you don’t need to buy the extra content to enjoy the game; just to amp up the difficulty. Pretty lame, huh?"

Sound better?
Grammar's fine enough though.

18$ is still fairly cheap for a full game. They could have easily made the "stand-alone" version 15$ itself.
But it's all about money when it comes to to these companies, I wonder how much the full experience of Space Invaders get even will cost.

Business is business. It's all about the money.

This.

Which is why we're overpaying for the Wii by about 150 USD.

Just sounded kinda contradictory. Can't tell which way she meant it.

I wouldn't pay extra for a extra difficulty to be honest.
