Something for the weekend?
Seeming as though we have a VC update thread, I thought I'd make a WiiWare Realease thread:
Here are the latest releases:

Strong Badia the Free is the second of five monthly episodes starring Strong Bad – the self-proclaimed "coolest person ever" – and the rest of the cast from the popular Homestar Runner web cartoons.

Strong Bad Episode 2: Strong Badia the Free also has the Videlectrix arcade classic "Math Kickers featuring the Algebros", plus all new achievements, collectibles, costumes, and Teen Girl Squad comics. You can even use Strong Bad's Lappy to send emails and pictures to your Wii friends! So what are you waiting for? Fire up Strong Badia the Free and get ready to kick some doughy King of Town butt!

Mega Man TM 9

Category: Adventure, Platform, Action
Players: 1

Mega Man fans, your wait is over! The classic Blue Bomber that debuted in 1987 is back with the ninth instalment in the classic series. Mega Man 9 is a brand new adventure all done in an 8-bit style -- graphics, music, and gameplay -- just like you remember them!
Evil genius Dr. Wily is back to his old tricks, causing chaos with eight new Robot Masters and setting up Mega Man’s creator Dr. Light as the culprit! Do you have the old-school skills to defeat the likes of Tornado Man, Magma Man and – in a first for the series – a female Robot Master, Splash Woman, and clear your creator’s name?
EDIT: Just found this out:
For those of you out there who just can't get enough Mega Man 9 goodness, it seems the fun will continue. In fact, if you're one of those who thinks Mega Man 9 just isn't tough enough, Capcom is about to remedy that situation.
On October 6th you can pony up 200 Wii Points and download the Proto Man downloadable content. You'll then have full access to the yellow-scarfed character and all of his new game play moves.
Using Proto Man opens up a brand new mode that will allow you to experience the game in a slightly new way. Not only will you get to take control of Proto Man, but there are other small and unique changes that you'll notice as you play through the game again.
For starters you can't use Proto Man to achieve worldwide rankings or beat any of the game's challenges. What you can do is use Proto Man's unique game play moves, which proves to be a double-edged sword. The good news is Proto Man can now use his slide move to quickly slide under certain enemies and he can also charge up his shot for an added firepower burst. The bad news is that Proto Man takes double the damage of Mega Man and will get thrown back twice as far when he takes a hit thus making enemy encounters all the more tricky. You also will not be able to purchase special items like additional "E" and "M" tanks in the store. As you can imagine, this definitely ups the ante in the difficulty department.
According to Mark Bozon at IGN, using Proto Man does add a unique twist to an already amazing game and he seemed to really appreciate the unique game play twists Proto Man brought to the game, although he did emphasize that it does take some time to get used to controlling Proto Man as the overall feel is quite different from that of Mega Man.
If you're looking to add some replay value to Mega Man 9, this Proto Man content could be just what you need. And at only 200 Wii Points, it seems like a small price to pay to make an already outstanding game even better.
