Calling All Mega Man Fans

Not sure how many here know about this secret. What do you think it is?

[MegaMan52 | 2,852]

There was a lot of talk about it on Capcom's Message Boards in 2008 (and later). As far as I know, it wasn't revealed what it was and some say there wasn't one at all. But who knows.

The secret is there is no secret. LOL. Many people believe it was a scam to sell more copies of the game.

Since no one here addresses it directly, and I figure most people don't want to bother watching through an 11 minute video with a clickbait'y title (video isn't low-effort though, it's pretty neat) just to find out what it's even about, here's a summary:

Apparently some western community manager publicly stated on a forum that "there's a still undiscovered secret in Mega Man 9".
The video then goes on to point out a few obvious, and completely unrelated easter eggs in the game, some of which are pretty cool.

They interviewed the guy who made the post, and he straight up says it's just a little dumb thing, nothing special.
Supposedly it's related to getting inhumanly far in some endless mode DLC. Like @austin532 says, it really sounds like it's just a ploy to sell more DLC, and the video strongly supports that idea.

People have gone through the games data and still couldn't find anything other than a few unused sprites and have cheated their way to room 99999 and nothing so yeah...it makes me wonder.

I wonder if it’s as exciting as the double looping Dino Riki secret

Thanks. I was about to leave as the first post didn't make any sense.

I remember the first time I killed Hitler in Bionic Commando.  Now that was a secret.

Well they put it right there in the title in the Japanese version XD
