Six Portable Mega Man Games, Including Mega Man Xtreme and its Sequel, Coming to 3DS Virtual Console

I'll just stick to the NES Megaman games.

Great timing, this coming Friday I will be releasing my 6th EP tribute to Mega Man's 25th birthday, this one covers exactly "Mega Man 3" for the Game Boy, my second Mega Man game and one of my all time favourites. You can stream the EP already from YouTube. I might have to pick these up again.

I'm still sad that the GB Mega Man compilation on GBA got cancelled.

Are any of these actually good?

I heard that Megaman V was pretty good; I'll probably pick that one up at least.

You still owe Wii U 5 and 6 Capcom!

Finally, I was wondering if Capcom had forgotten about them.

Not bothered about these.

I would like a port of the PSP ones. (The remakes of X and the first Megaman I forget the names).

Or X / X2 / Saturn X4. (Fixed up as necessary like the slowdown from the first avoided).

MM IV and V are surprisingly polished for a GB game and is a blast to play. I'd rank them better than MM 4, 5 & 6 on the NES IMO. But I'd skip MMII if I were you.

Finally, took them long enough. Now were just missing the rest of the console titles on the WiiU: MM 5-7 and X3. and while youre at it, throw in Soccer and the GBA games There can never be too much MegaMan

I had MegaMan Xtreme 2, I didn't play much of it but it was fun

Why is Xtreme 1 doing better than V? V is far better.

@tom_q IV and V are great.

@SparkOfSpirit Because it's Megaman X. Megaman X is the man.

@Superiorspider X makes the original look outdated and weak. And he IS more popular than MK-1.

@SamirMalik I know. It would be nice to play both Xtremes as early as possible on the VC because my original carts just stopped working.

@Superiorspider Same with with my SoulCalibur III. Don't you just hate when stuff like that happens?

I hope they release more than one a month. I'd seriously like to get my hands on the GBC games.

Edit: Whoops, I just realized the article and Capcom Unity both said they'd arrive every week after that. Well, that's good news! I voted for Xtreme 2 to release first, but it'll probably be either V or Xtreme 1 first.

@BLPs Well, we probably wont see X4-6, since these are PSx games (or also Saturn in case of X4)
So, no VC release

I didn't like Wily's Revenge, but I'll look into these titles and see which is best; definitely will be getting one of these.

I pretty much stick to the NES originals and the X games on SNES, but I'd be willing to pick up Xtreme and it's sequel.

More Blue Bomber is always a good thing.

Finally, these are coming. NOA really dropped the ball in getting these over here. It has been months since these were announced.

Awesome, I'm getting all of them.

@Einherjar Well Megaman 2 / Megaman X are on iOS and there was the Gamecube Collection. (So the later ones are already ported).
Hopefully what they say about mobile will change their priorities a bit.

Skip II.
PLAY IV and V. These are the best, and are probably over some of the best rated MM NES games. V has also cool and exclusive robot masters

Xtreme and Xtreme 2 are also very enjoyable. A lot of unlockables and things to do.

@tom_q
Mega Man IV and V are actually better than any of the NES games, but tend to get overlooked for being Gameboy games.

@BLPs In the same boat, except one of my PS2's is modded so I can play the X collection. Do you have the PS2 or GC version of the X Collection?

This'll be about the only affordable way for anyone to play Mega Man V these days.

@Shiryu INFINTY&BEYOND/10!

Finally! I was waiting for these games!

I had no idea there was a portable Megaman X, so I would get those two as soon as they are available.

I already have all of these games in their original carts. Which play perfectly on my gba sp. Why should I buy the same games again? I want a new megaman game.

@Uberchu That's like the best review I ever had. Thanks!

So how long before I can play mega man on my toaster?

About damn time, finally something new. I'm sick of the NES games getting released which have been available on the Wii for years.

About time. Six straight weeks of something to look forward to on VC!

there, 3DS gets these, Wii U get GBA. 3DS owners can stop whining.... though they obviously won't...

@Sidewaydriver

I gladly will, it has some awesome games, games which you will never experience. Or at least have trouble doing so.

@ikki5 one person stop, another will whine anyway

A poll?! They're kidding, yes?
Finish up the NES lineup, add the GB titles in order and MAKE A NEW GAME.
It's not rocket science, Capcom. Stop treating Mega Man like an A-list franchise when you're dead set on NOT making a new installment.

@BLPs WHat does the PSN have to do with the WiiU VC ? I was talking about releases on the VC, not releases in general.
When it comes to that, id prefer a filled to the brim legacy collection:
1 Bluray filled with each and every game from the series, from the classics all the way to the PS3 titles (DS titles could be complicated though if its NOT on the WiiU. But honestly, considering that most games originated on a nintendo consoles, the WiiU would be the only right way to go here.
And with the drought surrounding the franchise as a whole, i bet that it will attract quite a lot of customers.

I'm actually glad Mega Man II , Mega Man III , Mega Man IV & Mega Man V are being released on the 3DS VC in May. I really enjoyed Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge , and ever since I beat that game on the 3DS VC , I had a huge craving for the rest of the Blue Bomber's GAME BOY classics. But I couldn't give a care less for Mega Man Xtreme or Mega Man Xtreme 2 in all honesty. I prefer the 3 Mega Man X games on SNES tbh. As for missing games, isn't it about time we also got Mega Man 5 , Mega Man 6 & Mega Man 7 on Wii U VC also too CAPCOM. Also, the reason why I added Mega Man 7 is because I always heard that was one of the rarest SNES games to find. And to me, it would be a real treat to experience that game.

This year is the year my wallet cries in agony. I still need Mega Man 5, 6, and Wily's Revenge.

Nice. I dig the GB Mega Man games.

@BinaryFragger

If anyone is that DESPERATE enough to shell out $500 or around that amount, then the only people I see doing that would be hardcore SNES game collectors.

@WaveBoy

I wouldn't say we will NEVER see the light of day with Mega Man 7. It could be possible about that being the case, then again, it may not. It's just a matter of time on how fast CAPCOM releases Mega Man 7 on the Wii U VC.

I hope we get the Battle Network games on the Wii-U! I own the first 5 but I'd re-buy them so I don't have to play them on my GCN.

Good thing this wasn't posted today. Despite not really being a fan favourite i still enjoyed the VC release of the first GameBoy Mega Man a lot. _{And this is not an April Fool's joke.}
And since i prefer to play games chronologically gimme Mega Man 2 first please.

I can recommend Mega Man IV. This, Pokemon Yellow and Monster Max I still play on my Game Boy

Finally, I was wondering when they would finally release them in the US. I assume 5 will be the first to be release if there is a poll as that one is the hardest to get on ebay and most likely the one many gamers missed back then.

I forgot to add in last night that it would also be real sweet to see a game surface like Mega Man & Bass from the GBA on the Wii U eShop if they ever get around to that. I never played much of it, but I did like the way how they gave you the option to play as Bass for the first time in a Mega Man game.

Xtreme of course.

i would honestly prefer they release these games in packs. or for much cheaper. i might actually pay .99 to get all of these each, or maybe like 5-10 bucks for the entire pack.

It's about time! Now what about the Game Gear Mega Man they mentioned a while back?

@supermario182: Yeah, good luck with that one buddy.

SO MUCH WANT. Day 1 downloads.

Capcom has been a fantastic Virtual Console supporter.
This is a great effort for fans but I'd love to complete my NES collection on the Wii U VC. Another gem would be the Mega Drive's 'Rockman - Megaworld', a 16-bit compilation of the first three MM NES outings (like what All-Stars did for Mario). I have yet to see this one on ANY Mega Man compilation and would buy it on Wii U VC or 3DS VC for sure.

@Bryon15

I own pretty much every Mega Man game ever made (including many of the Japanese ones) except for Battle and Chase, yet I still want to buy these for my 3DS. Why? Because playing old classics on new systems is fun. You should try to be a bit more open minded. Besides that, these are good for those who don't have 70 bucks burning in their pockets for Mega Man V, which is the main one I recommend. A new Mega Man would be nice but isn't likely given Capcom's current attitude toward Mega Man. We're better off looking to Mighty No.9 for the future, unless Mega Man's appearance in the new Smash can generate enough interest in him to justify a new game.

I also second the motion set by Sleepinglion for Mega World, as it was a digital game to begin with. Mega Man X3 would be great as well. That game is quite expensive online. Rockman & Forte would be nice too, even if we get the inferior GBA version.

(EDIT: removed the majority of my post as I realize it was unwarranted for this discussion.)
