Mega Man 10, the newest retro-game to hit consoles, may be out for the Wii today and coming soon to the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, but its Endless Mode is further off. More »
Even though Mega Man 10 includes a playable version of Mega Man 9's Proto Man at no additional cost, Capcom will still offer at least one additional character as premium DLC. Bass, a sort of evil Mega Man character introduced in Mega Man 7 and playable in Mega Man & Bass, will be released as a DLC character for the Wii version of Mega Man 10 on April 5 for 200 Wii Points ($2), according to Nintendo's Mega Man 10 page. A special stage will be available the same day for 300 Points.
An "Endless Attack Mode" will follow for 300 points on April 26, along with two more special stages for 100 Points each. These DLC dates are likely to be different for the other versions of Mega Man 10, if the add-on content is planned for all releases, since the release dates for the actual game are different on other platforms. We're contacted Capcom to verify.
A portion of a 1up review…
MM10 fumbles the forward momentum established by its predecessor, and that’s a shame. MM9 promised a renaissance for the series, but MM10 suggests that’s it business as usual for Capcom. Still, while this may amount to little more than yet another Mega Man sequel, it’s still one of the best [...]
I finally got a chance to play Mega Man 10 today. You guys know that I’m a die-hard Mega Man fan, and I absolutely loved Mega Man 9. So how was my time with Mega Man 10? I’d love to tell you, but I’m only allowed to talk about Strike Man’s level. [...]

This is a side-scrolling action platformer in which players control one of two small androids that run, jump, shoot, and fly through 2D environments. Players can fire projectiles (e.g., electric clouds, fire, ice, rockets) from their arm cannon to defeat enemies that disappear from the screen in a quick burst. When players are hit, they [...]
If you managed to get all of the Achievements in Mega Man 9, then either your father's name is Jor-El or you're some kind of robotic boy yourself. Well, the Achievements (via Xbox360 Achievements) for Mega Man 10 look like they're going to be along the same lines: incredibly tough to unlock. Actually, some of them are identical to Mega Man 9, including the Achievement for defeating all eight bosses with just your standard weapon and finishing the game in under an hour. But, there's even tougher ones this time, such as the ridiculous defeat the eight bosses without your helmet on, the extremely ridiculous clear the game without using any energy, mystery, or weapon tanks and even the ain't ever gonna happen clear the entire game without taking any damage.
However, there's hope in Easy Mode -- it's possible some of these could be unlocked by playing the game that way, though we were unable to get confirmation on this from Capcom. As for PS3 Trophies, it's a safe bet they'll be the same as the Achievements.
