Mega Man decides not to save the world; chooses to ‘twist ‘n’ paint’ instead

Sorry Vectorman, but it’s all about the Blue Bomber this week. Between the 8-bit style graphics, the return of the “man” bosses, and the overly frustrating, but oh so satisfying stages, I can’t recall the last time I was so willing to depart with 1000 Wii points.

Unfortunately, PSN customers will have to wait until Thursday, while XBLA subscribers are stuck waiting until the 1st of October for their Mega Man fix.

Oh, and PLÄTTCHEN twist ‘n’ paint also comes out today! As always, a full description of both WiiWare releases are after the break.

  • Mega Man™ 9 (CAPCOM, 1,000 Wii Points)
  • PLÄTTCHEN twist ‘n’ paint (Bplus, 1,000 Wii Points)
