OK. This is the last time I report on Mega Man 9. If another story comes out saying you can now only play it on your I-phone, I'm not covering it. You have to love the ol' rumour mill. Well...to be honest, I'm kind of glad I followed this up because there is a quality video to show you guys of everyone's favourite blue superhero and his robot dog. What's that? Your favourite blue superhero is Superman? Well it could be Captain America for all I care. Do either of those have a 9 game series to their name? No. I rest my case :)

Mega Man 9 - Video Preview (IGN)

"Additionally, we've got some news to report. First, Capcom has confirmed to IGN that Mega Man 1 and 2 will be coming to the Virtual Console soon. And second, Mega Man 9 will also release for Xbox Live and PlayStation Network respectively. No, it's not a WiiWare exclusive, but nevertheless, it's going to make an excellent addition to the libraries of all three consoles."

One thing that baffled me was that "Mega Man 1 and 2 will be coming to the VC soon" I wondered how it was I had downloaded and played both of them if they weren't out. Of course, it wasn't long before the penny dropped. They are available in Europe (both came out last year) but are not currently available in the US (at time of publication)
