I thought Mega Man 9 was exclusive to Nintendo in Japan?

I was checking numbers this morning to project how MM9 is going to do this week. Lo and behold, I found out that hundreds of Japanese X360 owners have already downloaded MM9.

Am I behind the curve, or what? For those counting: MM9 released on the X360 in every territory today, about 8hrs ago.

Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

I don't remember reading exclusivity in any region.

There were a few articles earlier on that it was going to be Wii exclusive in Japan. I guess whatever I read was just a rumor, and totally wrong...Outside of the fact that MM9 did release in the US first.

Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
