Mega Man 5 Lands on European Virtual Console This Week


Mega Man 5 is coming to the European Virtual Console this Thursday, Nintendo announced. The news comes a couple weeks after Mega Man X1 released, so if you have some Wii Points left over from that purchase, might as well invest in MM5. Press release below:

"Proto Man, once the trusted brother of Mega Man, has mysteriously gone berserk, kidnapping Dr Light; forcing Mega Man to go on the offensive. Assisted by his new sidekick Beat, a robotic bird, and his faithful robo-dog Rush, Mega Man must battle through eight thrilling levels and defeat the Robot Masters lurking within. Defy gravity in Gravity Man's stage, chip away the defences in Stone Man's stage, and catch some surf in Wave Man's stage – all before the final showdown of the century."

Mega Man 5 will run you 500 Wii Points.

    Interesting...

    Any news on X2 and X3 for the VC? Has Japan gotten Megaman and Bass(since they had it on the Super Famicon)

    What about on the 3DS front? Any word on the rest of the Mega Man(gameboy) titles or the Xtreme series? What about the GBA titles?

    I'm sorry if I seem rude, but the later classic titles don't really have a spot in my heart unlike the portable titles and X series.

    No word on that front, sorry.

    Just keep an eye out for those ESRB and OFLC ratings. Things are usually "leaked" there.

    I hope they don't skip Mega Man 6, that game was never released in Europe. Fingers crossed for a Virtual Console import next time they have one of those Hanabi festival things...

    @March 28, 2012 2:45 AM Anon: You think that's bad? In NA, Nintendo had to publish it themselves. I don't know what Capcom and Nintendo plan to do about that because in Japan Capcom published 6. I mean it is Capcom's game yes, but Nintendo basically holds the rights to the original for NA. And who knows about Europe since it never made it there:/
