For those who haven't played an original-series Mega Man game since, say, Mega Man 3, you might be unaware of one change that occured as the series progressed. Introduced in the Game Boy games, Mega Man would be able to buy items from Dr. Light and other characters by collecting and paying with P-chips, which later became Bolts (though they really look more like Nuts).
Now, Capcom of Japan's official Rockman 9 website has revealed what items can be purchased in the latest title, which were alluded to in earlier reports. Various websites have given interpretations of what's what here; while some are obvious to longtime fans of the series, others are less so.
The Mega Man heads are of course 1ups, available for 20 nuts; the E-cans are Energy Tanks which refill your life energy for 30 nuts a pop.
"Back in 2008, Capcom revived the original Mega Man franchise with a brand new 8-bit installment which itself received a sequel shortly after. So, let's explore these 2 retro revivals and see which one is worthier of its bolts." - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums
I would’ve preferred if they stuck with the 16/32-bit aesthetics
If Mega Man 9 had to be 8-bit, then Mega Man 10 should’ve been twice that to separate it from its predecessor
Like any franchise, there are entries in the mainline Mega Man series have proved better than others, either because of how much they did (or didn't) alter the gameplay design philosophy that made it legendary in the industry. Today, we've got every mainline entry in the series ranked from worst to best.

We can forget about all that now though as the Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale for 3rd-9th July 2018 is now in place and it is bringing a whole new range of discounts to both Xbox One and Xbox 360 players. Want to check out the full list of games on sale?"
Several of these games have been on GWG, Slime Rancher and Super Mega Baseball 2. Others are on Gamepass. There is an Anime sale going on with up to 75% off. Fifa 18 at just 15quid, although I'll wait until it's in the EA Access Vault and get it for free.
