Playable Proto Man coming to Mega Man 9 via DLC

We know that gaming enthusiasts absolutely love it when game developers announce DLC for their titles before said titles are released -- that's why we're sure you'll be pleased to hear that Mega Man's morally ambiguous predecessor, Proto Man, will be available to download as a playable character in all versions of Mega Man 9 for two American dollars (160, 200 Wii Points). His core controls will be similar to the Blue Bomber's, though he does come with a few extra abilities -- for instance, he'll be able to use his shield to deflect certain projectiles, perform a sliding manuever, and inspire heated comments about DLC price gouging on internet message boards. Neat, huh?
