The third week of “Mega May” is upon us, and it brings the fourth title in the classic Mega Man series on the Game Boy.

Just like the headline says, the second and third Mega Man games are now available for the Virtual Console! Which Virtual Console? The Nintendo 3DS one, of course.

When it comes to the Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console, Capcom’s approached the platform in a rather peculiar manner. After releasing Mega Man: Dr. Wily’s Revenge there some time ago, the company instead opted to begin releasing the Blue Bomber’s NES library to the service as a way of celebrating his 25th anniversary. Which would be […]

Last week, Capcom Unity continued their tradition of monthly Mega Man streams with Mega Man V for Game Boy. Unfortunately, the stream didn’t work out well due to technical issues. But Mega Man V is one of the most unique entries into the series, and we think it’s story still needs to be told. So […]

This time, I’m examining the first installment of the Game Boy sub-series, Mega Man: Dr. Wily’s Revenge, a short but tough monochrome romp. Capcom and the […]

The Game Boy Mega Man games have some of my favorite music in the series, though in truth the tunes are often overlooked by fans and musicians. So thank goodness that Blues ‘Chaos’ Light has cooked up his own arranged EP, featuring a track from each game. You can listen to the songs above, or […]

Previously, I covered the concepts that made the Mega Man Classic series fun. This week, I narrow down the one pivotal game that changed that series and set it on a new direction. While Mega Man 2 introduced and refined a few overarching concepts that became series staples, it was Mega Man IV for the Game Boy […]

If you tune in to your 3DS’s eShop updates today, you’ll find something a little Mega Man themed. According to a Nintendo press release, Mega Man: Dr. Wily’s Revenge will be hitting the download shop today for $3.99. It also will be arriving in Europe as well, as we previously reported. Dr. Wily’s Revenge is […]
