Those who follow the week-to-week happenings in the Nintendo eShop know that for one week starting today, Thursday, November 14th, a variety of The Legend of Zelda titles featured on both the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS are being marked down. As it turns out, this is part of a larger ongoing deal, and a curious one at that.

Whereas Rockman X2 arrived on the Wii U Virtual Console in Japan on October 9th, it appears that all signs (which is to say, Wikipedia and this post on GoNintendo) point to the second major clash between X and the Reploids of Sigma's original Maverick uprising will be hitting the European version of the service on Thursday, November 14th, 2013. In other words, tomorrow, though as of this writing, that would be today in Europe.

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 […]

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 […]

At long last, the final installment of the NES Mega Man games is available for purchase in the Nintendo 3DS eShop. $4.99 is what it costs to get this Virtual Console goodie, one of the final games to come out during the system’s twilight days. Fun Fact: The game might not have made it to […]

On top of all the news about Nintendo and Capcom bringing Mega Man to Super Smash Bros. today, it’s hard to believe they weren’t finished yet, but… they weren’t finished yet. In North America, Mega Man 2, Mega Man 3, and Mega Man 4 have arrived for the Virtual Console in the Wii U eShop. […]

The perennial Super NES classic Mega Man X has arrived on the Wii U Virtual Console today, carrying with it a price of just $7.99. Alternatively, you can pay just $1.50 if you already have the game transferred over from your Wii Virtual Console, allowing you off-TV play with the GamePad controller, save states, controller […]

Ready for one of the best SNES games ever? The classic Mega Man X will be hitting the eShop in North America on Wii U next week, May 30th. You can grab it for $8, or a mere $1.50 if you bring it over from your Wii. Hopefully newcomers find it a little more approachable […]

Just in time (well, minus two weeks) for you to begin playing along to A Critical Look at Mega Man 5 Stages, the penultimate game in the Blue Bomber’s NES legacy has been released to the Nintendo 3DS eShop in North America and Europe (thanks, Rockman) alike. $4.99 is all it takes to go take […]

The Wii U’s Virtual Console in Japan already got Rockman 3 earlier this month, and next week on the 22nd, it will be joined by Rockman X on the Super Famicom for ¥800, or ¥150 for those transferring over from the Wii. It seems that Nintendo’s strategy in Japan is to get all those best […]

When it rains, it pours. Our last bit of news during this little flood of items comes from Brelston at Capcom Unity. He reveals that Yacht Club Games aren’t the only ones who will be having a “Mega Man,” as in addition to the NES version of Mega Man 5 coming to the Nintendo 3DS […]

This was mentioned as a footnote in a previous post, but Rockman 3 will be coming to Japan’s newly launched Wii U Virtual Console on May 1st for the the typical ¥500 (or ¥100 with a Wii transfer). It’s a little curious that they would start with 3, as past VC updates on other systems […]
