Apparently, that story made the rounds so much that Capcom got wind of it and contacted arstechnica to tell 'em that, well, there was a bit of a mistake on the release roster and that Mega Man 9 is currently slated "for WiiWare only." While the caveat of "currently" means that things could change in the future (this is Capcom, after all; the guys who ported DMC4 and Lost Planet to PC, and who swore that Resident Evil 4 was exclusive to Gamecube), we doubt whether any sort of XBLA release would end up happening for quite some time.

Nintendo Power did break the story... I have a feeling this is just damage control to maintain the illusion of an exclusive out of some obligation to the magazine.
They'd be stupid to not release it elsewhere, it'd be little work and doesn't sound to use the Wii remote's unique abilities in any way.

Conplain to capcom here but be mature about what you say to them. Because although I am VERY unhappy about it comming to XBLA and PSN because there are alot of fans that dont own a Wii you should atleast be mature about what you conplain about

Why would you be unhappy about it? I can't think of a single good reason to be upset about a company making sure as many people as possible can play their game.

And complaining to a company about releasing a product that doesn't meet your exact specifications is somehow mature?
I wouldn't mind seeing it on XBLA or PSN as well, and we may see it at some point, but there is no reason to whine about it. Certainly Capcom received enough grief from the kids when DMC4 went multiplatform, sheesh.

Backpedaling, not backpeddling. Unless they're selling something while moving backwards.

So releasing it only on Wii is "making sure as many people as possible can play their game"? Sorry but i doubt every 360/PS3 owner also own a Wii. Capcom are a multiplatform company, its pretty sad that this will be an exclusive for Wii.
Then again i can't really complain, i'm not interested in it.

Good thing I'll still be able to play it. It's definitely been worth the cash to have both a 360 and a Wii this generation.

Yup. Owning more than one console definitely pays off if you're a pretty dedicated gamer. I honestly can't imagine any exclusively Xbox fanboys even caring about this title.
Maybe they could make the Live Arcade version a FPS.
