More Mega Man on the Way to Virtual Console

Today North America received Mega Man 6 on the Nintendo 3DS eShop, which is the first time this game has been made available digitally in the region. But it sounds like Capcom won’t be stopping there. In a post about upcoming Mega Man goods at SDCC, community manager Brett Elston gave this curious comment:

Hope to have additional news regarding classic MM games hitting the Virtual Console soon. We’re on a roll with the 3DS and Wii U lineup, and I have a feeling there’s more on the way…

Of course, Mega Man 5 and 6 have yet to make their way to Wii U’s VC. But what else might be in store? Certainly Mega Man 7 has been a much requested title. I imagine there would be a lot of support behind Mega Man X2 and X3 as well. Maybe even some love for Soccer? And then there’s the rest of the Game Boy titles. Furthermore, with Nintendo’s announcement that the Wii U Virtual Console will someday carry Game Boy Advance titles, that also makes Mega Man Battle Network and Mega Man Zero possibilities, as well as the title Mega Man & Bass (although, is possible, the SFC version would be preferable).

What classics are you hoping to see return digitally?
