Dear Reader:
CONFIRMED - Mega Man 9 heading to WiiWare...and it looks EXACTLY like an NES game
UPDATE - It’s the real deal! I just got confirmation via my email. Thanks to everyone that tipped me off! I can’t believe how awesome this is. The game is in the exact same style as the original NES games. In my opinion, this game announcement is absolutely huge news. A big thank-you to all that sent this in.
