On April 5 players will be able to download Bass for 200 Wii points. Dr. Wily designed Bass with Mega Man’s abilities in mind, and while a bitter rivalry exists between the two, Bass will help Mega Man out if there’s something in it for him.

Bass uses a weapon called the Bass Buster, which is a lot like the Mega Buster except that it fires faster and can fire upwards and diagonally (7 directions in all), and it can also be used to shoot-down enemy attacks. In addition to the Buster, Bass uses dash to avoid enemy advances, and he can copy the weapons of the bosses in the game after defeating them, just like Mega Man can. When he teams up with his robotic canine pal Treble, he can not only fly, but shoot more powerful projectiles with his Buster.
