has just gone live in the American Wii Shop, and anxious fans are probably already busy blasting their way through the ranks of the eight latest Robot Masters. But with the arrival of the game itself comes the confirmation of another detail we've been waiting for since the sequel's announcement -- the identity of its third playable hero. Though the DLC option to be able to download him has not yet gone live and we still don't know when it will, we now know that when it does we'll be able to play as .

Calling up the game's Operations Guide in its WiiWare edition confirms that "Bass Mode" will be the first piece of DLC to be made available for Mega Man 10. It'll cost 200 Wii Points (or two dollars) to download him, and the Guide additionally confirms that he'll have the ability to shoot in seven directions -- meaning his moveset is likely based (get it) on what it was in on the Game Boy Advance. That's pretty much what we expected, back when we were .

The game's Operations Guide also pulls back the curtain on the rest of Mega Man 10's upcoming DLC. We'll once again be able to access an Endless Attack mode for three bucks, as in Mega Man 9, and there will additionally be three Special Stages made available for purchase for one dollar apiece. Mega Man 9 had just one Special Stage, headlined by a new Robot Master character -- Fake Man. Mega Man 10, though, claims that each of its Special Stages will have a new boss. Will we get three more new Robot Masters this time? Or will we see the return of some of the series' older, classic bosses?

I guess there are still some things to speculate about, even with the game now out. We'll have more details as soon as they're available, and hands-on impressions of how Bass fits into the Mega Man 10 mix soon too. In the meanwhile, we'll let you get back to blasting through the new game yourself.

Update! Looks like we now do have the dates for when these DLC options will go live, courtesy of good old . Both Bass Mode and Special Stage 1 will be made available on April 5 here in the States. Then, three weeks later on April 26, the rest of the DLC will go up -- Endless Attack, Special Stage 2 and Special Stage 3. That's going to mean another wait for Wii-owning Mega Man fans, but it puts things in line with the other consoles -- Mega Man 10's core game isn't going to be out at all until the end of March on Xbox Live, after all.
