Mega Man Double Pack on its Way to PlayStation Portable? (Updated)

Yeah, we’re a little late with this one, but it’s worth talking about just the same.
A few days ago (okay, so closer to a week), we heard from MMN reader RedMage1987 and Protodude’s Rockman Corner about a “Mega Man Dual Pack” for the PlayStation Portable, which appears on both GameFAQs and GameStop’s website. The former is using the image seen at right, that of the Japan-exclusive Value Pack containing both Rockman Rockman and Irregular Hunter X, while the latter has no image available.

Both websites cite a September 5th, 2011 release date, with GameStop labeling it with a price of $14.99, though the true contents of this package are unknown. But at that price, a re-release of the two games we did get seems more likely than the other noted possibility, that of a localized release of the two ported Rockman DASH games which were not released here.

With a release date so close, it would seem unlikely that this is just hot air, though, but with no official announcement from Capcom themselves, all we can really do is speculate. But between those two options, which would you rather see?

Update: And as Heat Man pointed out in the comments below, Capcom Senior Vice President Christian Svensson confirmed it as a two-for-one re-release of Mega Man Powered Up and Mega Man: Maverick Hunter X.
