Two of the new DLC packs, Hard Mode and Expert Mode, add an extra challenge for gamers who can breeze through the regular difficulty setting. Both modes will adjust the location of enemies throughout the stages. Players who dare to tackle Expert Mode will find the difficulty increased threefold from the default setting. These modes do not support the Rankings or Challenges Modes.
The other new downloadable content pack is a Special Time Attack Stage. The stage includes a brand new level that ends with a fight against the new boss, "Fake Man." The Special Time Attack Stage is comparable in difficulty to the Wily Castle stages. The stage supports online rankings.
Each of the new Mega Man 9 DLC packs can be downloaded on WiiWare for 100 Wii Points ($1).
Yeah, these "releases" of Capcom's are in bad taste. The target audience for MM9 is less likely to put up with this sort of extortion than others. Perhaps I'm wrong, though, and Mega Man fans will bitterly allow themselves to be nickel-and-dimed.
Hardcore gamers fall for this kind of stuff because they're completists. Casuals fall for this kind of stuff because they're ignorant.

Or, maybe they just think that a new level is worth a dollar, and don't care about the politics.
