Capcom will finally release Super Nintendo classic Mega Man X in Europe next month, nearly a whole year after its North American début in April 2011.
The 16-bit blaster isn't the only Virtual Console game present in Nintendo's release list for early 2012 — while there's no Strider or Super Street Fighter II with online play to be found here, there is Metal Slug 3 down for April.
La-Mulana is apparently out in April too.
Still, here's Europe's partial 2012 Wii list.

Going to get Mega Man X for sure. Hope its an incomplete list.
dont need megaman X on my wii since i have the megaman X collection for the playstation 2.
If La-Mulana is out in April I'll eat my ham. That's the expression right?
It's not too early!
Hope that means that megaman 5 will join the EU VC as well some day
Dammit, give me a release date for Rhythm Paradise already!
I'll definitely get The last story, Bit. trip complete and Pandora's tower at some point and I might get Rhythm paradise fever.
EDIT: I forgot Mario party 9, I'll probably get that at some point too.
Not bad, not brilliant. Only want Mario Party 9 on there and possibly Rhythm Paradise/Heaven Fever. There are some good title on that list, but its slowing downam no chance for Excitebots in Europe then.
@Einherjar It's true! The fifth is missing!
"La-Mulana is apparently out in April too."
Bout time Metal Slug 3 arrives
I love this game! Get it people if you haven't already!
Congrats, Euro ladies, & gents! You get a VC game! & one of my favorite ones @ that! Mega Man X is a very cool title to d/l into your collection!
Megaman X! Nice!
Finally.
Mega Man X is truly a classic, and in my opinion it's the best one in the series
I'll get Megaman X too but are we ever going to get Axelay?
Nope. We got a Konami game that Australia did not get (I forget which) and in return, they got Axelay that we aren't going to get. I don't know why it happened like this.
La Mulana is the real highlight in there for me .
One VC game per month?? i´m not surprised why psn and live are better.
Well Nintendo has moved onto their handheld now. Sony's has only just come out and Microsoft doesn't have one. Besides, the PS3 and XBOX 360 are generally doing better than the Wii has been doing in a long time.
I hope we get Mega Man X this week. I have the points for it for months now.
wouldnt bother since i own ps2 collections wich i got wen it 1st came out wont bother supportin crapcom now
