As we move towards the release of Capcom's upcoming retro revival, Mega Man 9, the details of the Robot Masters and their respective weapons continue to trickle down from Japanese newssites.

Today we get to see the first female Robot Master in series' history: Splash Woman. She is karaoke-loving former rescue robot; her stage is mostly set underwater, including the battle against her. While fighting Splash Woman, she will sing to summon her little aquatic friends to attack you. Defeating her will yield the Laser Trident, which travels in a straight line and is also a penetrating shot, with the front of the projectile able to guard against enemy fire.

Mega Man 9 is set to release on WiiWare in Japan on September 24. The official site can be found here. You can check out the rest of the screenshots over at the source.
