Nintendolife reports that Mega Man 5 will be hitting the Wii Virtual Console this Thursday, March 29th.  The NES classic that introduced us to Beat, the Super Arrow and that weird Rush Coil variation will cost 500 Wii Points.

While we still do not know what the future will bring, it makes sense at this time to reflect on […]

We accidentally wound up sitting on this story for a bit, and to Undamned, we apologize for that. Nonetheless, “b15sdm” had a Frank West joystick he was trying to sell at the Shouryken.com forums.
