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.
