Looks like we have ourselves a rather big rumor on our hands. According to Destructoid community member GohanGVO, future downloadable content for newly released WiiWare/XBLA/PSN game Mega Man 9 has been unearthed, priced and dated. If it’s true, then you can expect to pay 100 Wii Points for the privilege of having an extra difficult mode. Not cool … if true.

We are awaiting verification from Capcom on this, but what we can say is that we’d heard from our own sources a while ago that Capcom Japan was planning to charge for a harder difficulty after the release of MM9. Could Mr. Nickel be scheduling a date with Ms. Dime?
