Grundy The Man writes, "Mega Man 9 is the part of Capcom's new strategy to revive old school franchises. In a classic return to form, Mega Man 9 channeled the days of eight bit graphics and ass poundingly high levels of difficulty, finally releasing a true successor to Mega Man 2.

Hidden secrets and Easter Eggs where staples of the 8 bit era and it looks like Mega Man 9 has one of it's own. Yesterday afternoon in Capcom's own forums, Senior Community Manager Seth Killian left a series of cryptic posts detailing a single undiscovered secret, still at large..."

N-Europe's Stephen Thomson writes:

"To improve your gaming abilities with MegaMan, as said previously, you have to learn from your mistakes and get used to all the tricky and complex parts of the level. For instance, Jewel Man will have spawning green bricks in the second half of his stage and you will have to learn where the blocks spawn since they will easily trick you, and more than once. Another example is Concrete Man's fake blocks, if you don't notice one and you're unlucky, you'll fall into a spike killing you as soon as you touch it."

While it's only been a few months since we first heard about Capcom's retro Mega Man 9, it feels like we've been waiting forever. Well the wait is nearly over, as the first and second releases of Mega Man 9 hit next week! September 22nd will see the game show up via WiiWare, which should make the Weekly Wii Update a little more exciting than usual. Then on the 25th the game will appear on the PlayStation Network. Finally, after weathering nearly a week and a half of insufferable taunting, Xbox 360 owners will be able to download the Xbox Live Arcade version on October 1st. Looks like it's WiiWare for me!

So now that we've gotten those dates out of the way, show us the boxes!

Siliconera Reports:

"Capcom is properly merchandising Mega Man 9 with two soundtracks, and… energy drinks? Having video game themed beverages isn't a first for Capcom. They did it for Sengoku Basara 2 and they are doing it again for Mega Man. This month in Japan you can buy a Rockman E-Tank Sports Drink for 137 yen ($1.25). The can even looks like an energy drink so it's easily identifiable in the vast soft drink space at convenience stores."

"In Asia they take their food and drink merchandising strategies seriously. Pop star-branded Pringles, Final Fantasy soda, you name it. This Energy Tank energy drink for Mega Man 9 is pretty much the best game-to-beverage promotion ever, though."
