The notoriously difficult 8-bit style platformer Mega Man 9 will receive another batch of downloadable content this week, adding new modes and stages.

In sharp contrast to the last set of DLC that sold for $2-3, this round will sell for $1 per pack and will be available later today for Wii gamers, tomorrow for Xbox 360 users and Thursday for PS3 owners.

First up is the addition of Hard mode for those who want more punishment. It won’t be compatible with Rankings and Challenge modes. There will also be the Expert mode… which will triple the difficulty from the default one.

Finally, there a Special Time Attack stage, which gives you an additional stage for Time Attack Mode, complete with an all-new level and Robot Master Boss – “Fake Man”.

Keeping up its weekly tradition, Nintendo has added four new downloadable games to its Wii Shop Channel, offering a smattering of retro games as well as new original titles.

Available on Virtual Console now are Mario Golf (N64) for 1000 Wii points ($10) and Shining Force II (Genesis) for 800 Wii points ($8). As you can expect, Mario Golf offers sporting action using characters from the Mario universe in 10 different modes of play. Shining Force II is a classic fantasy game, having you save the princess and protect your country against invading armies.

On WiiWare are MadStone (800 points), Midnight Bowling (800 points) and two new pieces of Mega Man 9 DLC – the Proto Man character (200 points) and Endless Attack mode (300 points).

Even though Mega Man 9 goes back to the series’ 8-bit days, Capcom will release downloadable content for the game, giving it a taste of the power and advantage of current-gen consoles.

There will be five add-ons released, including two higher difficulty settings, an Endless Attack mode and a new Time Attack stage. Players will also get the ability to play as Proto Man.

The add-ons are expected to cost about $2-3 each, with the first scheduled to appear in the first week of October.

Capcom has revealed three of Mega Man 9’s eight robot masters in an announcement today. The bosses detailed are Concrete Man, whose Concrete Shot can create temporary footholds when it hits a solid surface; Tornado Man, whose Tornado Blow will sweep small enemies off the screen while damaging bigger enemies; and Magma Man, whose Magma Bazooka shoots fireballs.

Following the tradition of the series, the bosses will forfeit their special weapons when defeated. Capcom noted that details of the remaining five robot masters will be unveiled soon.

Mega Man 9 is due out on PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii later this year.
