Mega Man 9 getting playable Proto Man DLC
Posted on 21 September 2008 by Erik
Proto Man–Mega Man’s earlier prototype, who showed up originally in Mega Man 3–will be playable in Mega Man 9 through DLC that becomes available the week of Monday Oct 6. Two small in-development screens (pictured below), illustrate Proto Man’s slide and charge attacks; feats Mega Man isn’t capable of doing in the game.
GamesRadar has detailed Proto Man and his abilities:
Proto Man can deflect most bullets with this shield, but larger blasts will still cause damage and push him back twice as far as Mega Man. Being struck also interrupts his charge shot. All the Rush adaptors change to Proto adaptors as well – Proto Sled, Proto Coil etc.
Proto reportedly will cost $1.99/200 Wii points/160 XBLA points. Mega Man 9 hits Wii consoles tomorrow, September 22nd with PS3 and Xbox 360 consoles following on September 25th and October 1st, respectively.
