Capcom gives us a better look at three of the Mega Man 9 bosses photo

We got a sneak peek at the bosses of Mega Man 9 yesterday, but knowing full well that black and white images weren't going to be enough, Capcom has decided to divulge more information and artwork pertaining to the bosses and their obtainable weapons.

This first update is all about Concrete Man, Tornado Man, and Magma Man. Defeating Concrete Man will give you the Concrete Shot, which allows you to create temporary stepping stones.

Tornado Man's Tornado Blow lets you blow light enemies entirely off-screen, while laying waste to Magma Man grants Mega Man the Magma Bazooka, an attack that spits out a row of fireballs.

Neat stuff, huh? Full descriptions of the bosses and the power-ups can be found after the break. Also, hit the gallery for some artwork and new screenshots.

Meet the Bosses and their Weapons!

Concrete Man:
Created to construct a dam, Concrete man can actually design a dam and supervise its entire construction. He has a stubborn personality and will tell off any lazy robots.

Weapon: Concrete Shot
Concrete shot creates a temporary foothold as soon as it touches the ground. It can also be used to stop enemies in their tracks.

Tornado Man:
Works for the Weather Manipulation Office to help control and stop the formation of large storms all over the world.

Weapon: Tornado Blow
Tornado Blow launches a huge tornado that covers the entire game area. Heavy enemies will take damage, but lighter ones will be blown entirely off-screen.

Magma Man:
Magma Man serves as the safety control robot at a large geothermal power plant. He is able to work in incredibly hot environments and loves to visit hot spas.

Weapon: Magma Bazooka
Magma Bazooka shoots a cluster of fireballs that spread out after launching. It can also be charged by holding down the shot button.

nothing can ever beat the weapon name of "freeze cracker", except maybe "snatch buster"

All I can think about after that top screen is "Tornadoman ga Taosenai"

I'm not even going to read about it. When it comes out, I'm buying it. Hands down. No details are needed to convince this retro-ist. I want to bask in all the glory with virgin eyes. Like the first time you rented a Mega Man game and stuck it in the NES. Ahhhhh... 8-bit heaven with no story, lots of jumping and shooting through the most amazing levels with the most amazing music.

I'm very excited for MM9 but...
...Concrete man? Really?
That's about as bad as Toad Man...or Tomahawk man..
But the silly bosses only add to the charm. :P

@Clockwork-Zombie:
You must have forgotten about the ill-named Burn Rooster in the X series :P

Seriously, though, even the artwork is an awesome throwback. Capcom has pushed the nostalgia button in all the right ways.

Hasn't there been a Magma man before? Or at least something very very similar...
