with “Mega Man 9”

Another thrilling week as come to an end here at Essentials. Topping our list of posts for the last seven days, a new "Batman" game is coming to consoles, Capcom kicks it old school with a new Mega Man game and a few summer blockbusters get DVD release dates.

Capcom announced in July that it was reviving the Mega Man series on the current generation of consoles... except it would look like a game on the original generation of consoles.

Mega Man 9, which will hit Wii, PS3 and Xbox 360 via their respective download services in September, is a direct addition to the series, borrowing graphics and gameplay from the 8-bit games for the original NES.
