Yes, that’s right. Mega Man 10. Not Mega Man X, Mega Man 10.

Fresh off of the success of last year’s downloadable eight bit opus, Mega Man 9, Capcom has officially announced a 10th 2-D installment in the beloved shooter series.

What makes this one special?  Well, for starters, Proto Man is selectable from the start, as one of two alternate character to play as other than the Blue Bomber himself. (The third character has yet to be revealed.)  In addition, probably in response to everyone and their brother crying about the difficulty of MM9, a selectable “Easy Mode” will be available from the start.

What has me really excited, though? Possibly the wackiest boss so far. This time around, feel the terror of….Sheep Man!

Mega Man 10 will be downloadable on a system near you (with the AWESOME above art) in 2010.
