If you’re reading this story than chances are you already own or plan on purchasing Mega Man 9. Today is the the big day for Capcom’s 8-bit shooter (on Wii) and they also released some information about DLC for the game.

On October 6, 2008 Capcom promises to release Proto Man (above) for 200 Wii Points ($2), who also made an appearance in Mega Man 3 for the NES. You might not recognize his name but there is a reason for that, his original name in the NES game was actually Break Man. By downloading Proto Man the gameplay will change, the player can then deflect bullets, slide, and charge his shots.

The DLC will be available for Wiiware, XBLA, and PSN.
