With the Playstation Store update coming today so too arrives the PSN version of Mega Man 10. You can play as the red-headed Proto Man right from the start, and…wait, there’s going to be an easy mode? BLASPHAMY!/THANK GOD!

Probably a good move by Capcom to include this, at least they feel, as it will “allow new fans to indulge in the challenges that make the series great.” I’m just looking forward to having the option not to die a million times as I’m forced to slowly develop muscle memory of the level. Now maybe I can have a MM session under 30 minutes that doesn’t end in my controller being used as a projectile directed at my television.

Mega Man 10 is out on PS3 today, with the Wii version out now and the Xbox 360 version coming March 31.

From the description:

The year is 20XX and a suspicious outbreak of Roboenza, a Robot Flu, has broken out. It spreads through the world like wildfire bringing down robots everywhere. Infected robots are on a rampage and out of control as they destroy the city and hold everyone hostage! Who’s behind this mess? It’s up to Mega Man to take on this sinister threat and get to the bottom of this viral mystery.

Throughout Mega Man’s new adventure he’ll take on the malfunctioning-infected robots and classic-style bosses with the unique gameplay only found in a Mega Man? game. Each Robot Master has his own unique weapons and vulnerabilities. The creator of the original Mega Man, Keiji Inafune, is in charge of directing and supervising the boss character designs and has delivered the wildest villains the series has ever seen! Bosses like Sheep Man and Strike Man are sure to quickly become fan favorites!

Other exciting features in Mega Man 10 include the option to play as the amazingly cool Proto Man from the start, as well as an all new “Easy Mode” which will allow new fans to indulge in the challenges that make the series great. Additionally, “Mega Man Challenges” mode will allow players to practice their skills and prepare for the hair-raising adventures ahead of them.

Mega Man 10 is the must-have digital download for Capcom fans both young and old. The retro elements alone make this a delicious treat for those who long for the days of nail-biting platform experiences and the new “Easy Mode” will definitely allow more gamers to enjoy this incredible skill-based romp.
