Mega Man 9 is a WiiWare exclusive… for now

Published by Christian at 8:13 pm
Tags: Capcom, Mega Man 9, WiiWare

Despite recent reports suggesting that Mega Man 9 would be the first title appearing on WiiWare, Xbox Live, and the PlayStation Network, Capcom has clarified that they made a mistake. The recent E3 listing is “officially” inaccurate, and until further notice, the game is a WiiWare exclusive.

In case you’ve been living under a rock this past week, Mega Man 9 has been confirmed for WiiWare as a retro-style game. Inti Creates, made up of Capcom employees who worked on Zero and ZX, is handling development of the game.

Given the E3 listing, I’m sure the game will be at E3 at the front of a long line of people. I’ll make sure Matt gets some good hands-on time to see if it gets his Mega Man stamp of approval.
