Capcom today announced details on the new retro return of Mega Man with Mega Man 10. Following the 8-bit classic re-imagining of Mega Man 9, this latest Mega Man 2D side-scrolling action-platformer continues the challenging gameplay. Capcom has included a new "Easy Mode" if you want to avoid the frustrations you may have experienced with the difficulty of Mega Man 9. A "Mega Man Challenges" mode also gets you prepped for the full game as well.

Here are the details on the story in Mega Man 10, from Capcom:
"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 have rampaged out of control, destroying the city and holding it 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.
Through-out Mega Man’s adventure he’ll take on the malfunctioning infected robots and classic-style bosses that can only found in Mega Man games. Each one has their own unique weapons and vulnerabilities. Of course the creator of the original Mega Man, Keiji Inafune, is in charge of directing and supervising those boss character designs and delivers the wildest villains the series has seen yet."
Watch for Mega Man 10 to arrive in March 2010, on the Wii’s WiiWare, Xbox 360′s Xbox LIVE Arcade and PlayStation 3′s PlayStation Store.
