Game Gear Mega Man Could be Destined for the 3DS Virtual Console

I don't understand why they don't just release the rest of the Game Boy Mega Man games.

Guys at all costs, you're all better off spending $15 dollars to play Mega man 2, 4 & 5 on the 3DS rather than this licensed mess which has stages from those three games. That is if it does come to the eshop.

The only good thing that will come out of it is that it may spark enough interest for capcom to release the last four GB Mega man games.

Will they bother putting mega man 9 and 10 on the eshop?

@Drake Because colour games sell better the black and white ones it seems sadly.

Still, there could be hope once Capcom have no other MM games to release on it....

All everybody wants CAPCOM is a new Megaman game. Sort it out..... enough is enough.

I had no idea there was a Game Gear Mega Man game.

I want all the already released megaman in portable way specialy the snes ps1 games also I want a new maximo and demon crest game.

@CrissCross87 Me neither! I think this is cool.

I hope this means that Wily Wars can come to the Wii U VC (with apremium price, but it discounts the price if you download the NES games).

So... Much... Megaman!!!!!

head explodes

I hope they start releasing SNES games on 3DS, rather than all on the Wii U, which is barely appropriate for them.

I'm waiting for the rest of the GB games.

If its actually different enough from 5 and 6 I'll probably give it a shot eventually. On the other hand I'm still planning on buying the rest of the NES series and the GB ones (if they ever come out).

@Angelic_Lapras_King - Since you don't have the sales figures for VC games, there is no way to prove that people aren't buying games simply because they're for the GB.

Capcom is so lazy. Make a bloody new 3ds or WiiU game and we can talk business. I'm tired of all these old megaman games.

What is better news than this is that an old sega game is Gettin a 3D makeover for the 3DS.......... Only

Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master!!!!!!!

THE single greatest shinobi, even Ninja game ever made this game is seriously in my top ten ever. Genuinely better than any Ninja Gaiden game. Sega did nothing but ruin the reputation of shinobi with every release since this game, but a 3D port to 3DS is perfect, especially for the vehicle levels and canyon climb.

I cannot wait for this to be released

@undead_terror As much as they "look" like NES games, they are not. They run natively on last-gen systems, likely using much more processing power just to mimic the NES. The only way those could come to the 3DS is if they were "ported", because 3DS is no where near capable of emulating a Wii, the weakest of the consoles that got the games. Porting would require a lot of time.

Seriously.. just put Shining Force 2, Phantasy Star 0, Streets of Rage 1 and two on the virtual console.. and take my darn money.. that is all you have to do Sega.. (Two of those games I don't think made it to the U.S. Or I should say one didn't// one did.. The Shining Force 2 Spinoff is on a Sega CD collection the other.. (Phantasy Star) Never made it.. I believe.. also.. bring on some Chrystal Warriors.. that was pretty good too..

Oh and Capcom.. don't give a darn for another Mega Man.. give me Final Fight.. Ghosts and Ghouls.. Ghosts and Goblins.. heck come to think of it.. give me a Magic Sword..

Did not expect this news. But if it does arrive I will grab it

Oh man. Did a blind(-ish) run of this on youtube this past year.

It was terrible.

And that's me being polite.

They release Megaman 1-7, and the next thing you expect them to release is Megaman 8, right? Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnope.

Sigh I have heard no good things about the gamegear megaman games. I will defiantly wait for reviews before purchasing. On another note if any Sega megamn game was to be made for the virtual console release then it should be megaman wily wars on the genesis. Think of it like super mario allstars with the first three megaman games. Plus at the end you get to go through new stages and bosses with ANY weapon from the first three games.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I totally have been praying for the release of this on the 3DS VC!!! This game goes for $50 online. Inferior or not, this game will be a steal at $4.99! I never had the chance to play this. I only had a Game Gear for a very short time before getting rid of it.

Considering it will be about $4 or $5 I see no harm in playing this Mega Man.

@Kodeen I wish to make this clear. I very much mean SNES games. Look at a 3DS one day, and think about the games like Super Mario Advance.

The 3DS could support the SNES fine, even has the full controller easily accessible, while the Wii has only the Classic Controller which really supports SNES games natively.

@Tasuki it was on the megaman anniversary collection

I didn't even know such a Game Gear game existed. D:

Gameboy megaman games for 3DS and Battlenetwork 1-6 on Wii U please

@NiBar - just what do you think the Virtual Console is?

@Kodeen Nintendo 64 and later deserve to stay on Wii U, but anything earlier... The 3DS has more than enough buttons to support them, but Nintendo are being far too cautious.

I guess it's good for people that really want to play Quick Man's stage with Mega Man 4 and 5 weapons, but at least it increases the chances of Wily Wars coming to the Wii U VC.

Hopefully if they're going for the obscure stuff then we can get the rest of the Game Boy games, Wily Wars, and the rest of the SNES MM/X games.

and?

@Caramel: I don't remember Nintendo releasing MM7 on any VC?

No more Mega Man... Game Gear Chakan cheers

I watched a longplay of Mega Man Game Gear the other day, and came away rather unimpressed. It looked more like a cheap knock off of Mega Man rather than an officially licensed game.

Though, to be honest, the only portable entry from the classic series I'm interested in playing is V.

@RevolverLink: You should check all the portable Mega Man games out. Yes, the Game Gear version didn't look all that great, but the all 5 Game Boy games were awesome!
