Capcom have announced the release dates for the WiiWare, PSN and Xbox Live Arcade versions of Megaman 9 - all of them different.

The WiiWare version, at least in America, will be coming out this week on Monday, September 22nd. The PlayStation Network version will be released later on in the week on the 25th. The Xbox Live Arcade version on the other hand, will be released a week later - on October 1st.

They have also announced that the game will also have downloadable content. The first pack, which will be out on October 6th, will allow players to play as Proto Man, says Gamesradar:

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.

Sounds awesome. The XBLA version being delayed sounds like it's purely because Duke Nukem 3D is coming out next week. Certainly not stopping the PSN though - Wipeout HD AND Megaman! Being in Europe I certainly hope that these titles become available as soon as possible for me.
