Capcom has just unleashed a ton of Mega Man 10 info! First the important part: Mega Man 10 will be released this March. It will hit first on WiiWare on March 1, then on the PlayStation Network on March 11 and finally on Xbox Live Arcade on March 31.
Capcom has also revealed all of the power-ups that Mega Man will be able to rip out of the cold dead bodies from all the bosses. Check the gallery for new screenshots and to see Mega Man's new abilities in action. You can get a full breakdown of all the power-ups after the break as well.
Commando Bomb
After launching the Commando Bomb, press up or down on the + Control Pad to make it turn at a 90 degree angle. The blast spreads horizontally (or vertically) and follows the contours of the landscape. This can be used to break through certain walls to get hidden items!
Wheel Cutter
Press the Attack Button once to attach the Wheel Cutter to your arm, and press the Attack Button again to launch it (it follows the contours of the landscape). You can launch it 3 times and it’s effective to attack enemies at a distance. You can attach the Wheel Cutter to your arm and dart at enemies!
Triple Blade
You can fire tri-directional blades and attack multiple enemies at one time. There are two patterns: surface-to-air on the ground, and air-to-surface in mid-jump.
Thunder Wool
You can launch a thunder cloud that slowly rises and a lighting bolt shoots straight down from the cloud.
Solar Blaze
Splits apart and launches firebombs (left and right) after a set period of time. Effective when you are pinned between two enemies.
Chill Spike
Launch a freezing liquid which flies in a parabolic trajectory. An enemy hit by the freezing liquid will freeze and become unable to move.
Rebound Striker
You can throw a rubber super ball straight and diagonally up or down. As it gets faster and stronger with each successive bound, you can build up power and hit the target to inflict maximum damage!
Water Shield
A rotating shield of water surrounds Mega Man. Pressing the Attack Button once more deactivates the water shield and hurls high-speed drops of water that spiral outward.

There was a time, long ago, called the 80's. It was a good time. A pure time. It's a shame you missed it.
The reason is that many companies are trying to end the fiscal year as strongly as possible. That's why there are so many games being released before April 1st.
Man... Something tells me that as soon as a screenshot of a game being played on a next-gen system shows up online, people will immediately be calling the current-gen consoles crap because they won't be the newest machines anymore. Graphics don't make the games fun, people. They help, but they shouldn't be the determining factors.

I can't wait to get my latest Megaman fix on the 1st. That "long short-hop with spikes above and below" screenshot looks promising. Let the tenderfoots' bitching about trial-and-error gameplay begin!
Also, MM 10 available first on the Wii! Sick, sick! That way I can get a start on it before RE:5 DLC and God of War III. So excited!
I don't know why these idiots are on gaming sites like this, there is no more Modern Warfare 2 news, so just go pwn some noobs or whatever you idiots do to pass the time... bro
Maybe this is where I start becoming an old Cranky Kong, but I can't help but feel like the simplicity and escalating difficulty of old school games are the purest essence of greatness video gaming will see (in their current form. There is still room for unexplored innovation and a similarly pure and easy to play but difficult to master style with new modes of input.)
But this, and 2D Sonic, and NSMBW... This is where it's at.
It could be all to do with the focus on marketing, or simply the fact that the Wii version is already done and/or the PS3 and 360 versions need more time.
It's for the same reason that Europe always gets games after the US. Marketing + extra time spent doing translations.
Speaking of which, Europe has not had it's own release of Demon's Souls yet. If I want it, I'd have to pay $65 for the privilege. How's that for frustration?
Sucks so many good games are coming out that month though. I probably won't have time to play it for a while.
Hell, I still have Demon's Souls, White Knight, Star Ocean 4, and by then FFXIII and GOW III right around the corner, I probably won't touch this until summer time.
