One Classic Mega Man Game Is Coming to Wii U Every Week in August

Just finished playing through Mega Man X (which was incredible), so these will be a welcome addition to my gaming library.

Any wors on Gargoyle's Quest II and Demon's Crest?

Megaman 64 please

They should just rename the WiiU virtual concole to the "Classic Mario and Mega Man library."

Not that this is a bad thing, but we don't get a lot of variety. I'm expecting at least 1 if not both of the other Network games, and then just more of the X series.

I really should buy some of the Mega Man VC games available. Loved MM 9 & 10 on WiiWare.

This is a nice treat.

Looking forward to finally play X3 & 7.

Why the hell are Nintendo not taking advantage of the fact most Wii U owners have a hefty library of VC games that we would upgrade? If Capcom are doing a better job on VC than Nintendo, something is wrong.

X3, 6 and 7. Is 5 even on the u vc? If not, then add in 5. But PLEASE NO MEGAMAN AND BASS!!!!!

Nice, but hoping for more X games and others (like the Xero collection), hopefully on 3DS someday. I have dreamed a dream....

Battlenetwork please

i wonder how many megaman games there are . must be over 30-35 xD

Zero 3 is the only one I'm hoping for.

5
6
7
X3

I hope the same applies to the Game Boy games in Europe.

MM7 and X3 on Europe and MMZero series. My eShop credits is ready Capcom! I know you want it!

Megaman Soccer! (Just kidding.)

YEEEEESSSSSS!!! Sweet! Bring on the X3!

My predictions (the weeks are probably wrong)
Today: Battle Network
Week 1: Megaman 5 and 6
Week 2: Megaman Zero
Week 3: Megaman Battle Network 2
Week 4: Megaman 7 or Megaman and Bass

Hey, the pages load faster today!!! Hoorray

@Nintenjoe64 You've posted two comments on this article, and I agree wholeheartedly with both of them. I can't tell you how badly I want to be able to play Super Mario RPG on my GamePad! And YES YES YES to MegaMan 64!

So I can bank on there not being any Virtual Console games that will interest me for the new few weeks. At least I can continue working on the backlog.

9 and 10???

@Krambo42 that is probably the exact order it will be. 5, 6, 7, X3. Which is fine with me.

@MegaManEP3

Yep, it makes the most sense to me. All of those games were announced for the VC, and they are the only ones that have yet to be released in their respective series.

It's exactly the games/order I'd want to see, too.

@AG2014 Mega Man 5 is not yet on WiiU... My guess is:
August 7th - Mega Man 5
August 14th - Mega Man 6
August 21st - Mega Man 7
August 28th - Mega Man X3
I guess Battle Network 2 will wait a little more since we are just getting the first today, so perhaps on late September or early October?

My eShop body is ready!

oh my predictions were almost right... Nintendo just published the lineup for Megaugust:

So... instead of releasing them in a bunch like they did for Europe... they are going to spread it out so they don't have to release anything else.... awesome... At least this might mean we will get more titles

@Xilef I can only find it listed as Q4 2014. I'm not sure if that's just a generic placeholder until an actual date is announced or not.

I enjoyed Mega Man Legends a lot so I'd love to see the Mega Man 64 port get released eventually.

http://www.nintendo.com/whatsnew/detail/j3xUgWN0XFtf606OP4G1ok6JCUm7fNgl

Here's the list. Let it be know that I posted on GameFAQs and guessed all 4 correctly. I feel special.

Well Battle Network is the first.
I'd assume the other two that came out in Europe last week are to follow.
After that?
While 7 is likely, I remember X3 getting decent consumer response on the Wii, so who knows.

@Discipledoctor Lame. Where's 7?

Still, X3 will be great. That game is really underrated.

It's ignorant for a European website to ignore the 3 MM games from last week while wondering if this is 'coming elsewhere'. Just saying.
Ufouria vs 3 MM games and you're still acting a bit entitled.

I'm a big fan of (most of) the Mega Man games, but more than anything else, I'm really hoping for Chrono Trigger and Secret of Mana to make their way to the Wii U's VC service. Hands down two of my absolute favourite third-party SNES games.

Awesome, I'm so happy they show Mega Man some more Virtual Console love

I hope the Mega Man Zero series also comes out soon, because I would love to play them again with the button layout changed so I can dash with the A button instead of L. It was so stupid that the Mega Man Zero Collection for Nintendo DS didn't have customizable controls, because that must have been a really easy thing to include.

@JoakimZ You're absolutely right, it can be incredibly frustrating when your favourite game(s) fails to offer an option for customisable controls — or at the very least, an alternative layout or two. For me, Mario Kart 8 being a perfect case in point. Why can't I use ZR to accelerate?!! Sooooooo frustrating!

You know, it's fine that they're glorifying Mega Man, but they could also release a few more other VC games per week.

X3, 5, 6 and 7 would make me beyond happy

Good news. How about a few for the 3ds? Perhaps they could reboot that megaman legends 3...but maybe I'm asking a little too much there lol.

No Mega Man Soccer? DARN IT!!!

Mega Man X3! Mega Man X3!! Mega Man X3!!!

I put up with that PS1 version of X3 [on the MMX Anniversary Edition] with all its animations, which were cool. But, the music for it was ok. I especially HATED how the 1st stage intro stage was super watered down on the PS1 version. Now we will get the original SNES unadulterated version of X3!!! I CANT WAIT!!!!

@WaveBoy "1st- I like your picture. It reminds me of a simpler time. 2nd- I totally agree with you about X5. That would have been a true emotional & wonderful ending to the series. At the same time...I'm glad we got X6, 7 & 8. If they didn't, we wouldn't have things like:

-Command Mission [The Mega Man X RPG game]
-That awesome X6 soundtrack
-Axl in X7 & X8
-X being so obnoxious in X7 and saying things like "Are You Mad?!"
-The Fire hyena boss in X7 that clones himself and when you're fighting them he says "Burn! Burn to the ground!" as they are throwing fireballs at you.
-Fighting Sigma's final form in a 3D atmospheric space as if it were Star Wars in X7...
-Awesome X8 soundtrack
-Being able to use Shoryuken in the Ultimate Armor with and without fire & Zero being able to use the Ryu/Ken Hurricane Kick in X8. It's crazy but awesome!

Sigh, now the next 4 weeks of VC will all be Mega Man... I like Mega Man, I bought 2 and X, but they're all very... Samey. FLAME SHIELD UP

At least release them all in one large batch!

Only for North America? omg no pls.

@whodatninja 2/X/X4 (Saturn version the magic is lost in the other versions) and maybe one more classic one (Ideally the best of 3/4/5/6) would be enough for me as well.

Looks like more NoA VC laziness. 5, 6 and Battle Network were released on the same day in EU and I wouldn't be surprised if 7 and X3 will be released together as well for that region. I'd like to be surprised and NA gets something special alongside but I really doubt it'll be anything other than 1 VC title per week out of 5, 6, 7 and X3.

No doubt you will only see one mega man game a week with NO other vc releases along side them cause god forbid we get 2 vc games in one week!!

All I need is 7. It's the only main entry I haven't played.

I enjoy megaman games but, capcom should bring gargoyles quest 2 and demons crest. Sooner rather than later. We just had mega may the other megamans can wait.

Kinda sucks knowing these will be the only vc games for august. With some weak indie games for company.

Meh. Worst news of the month. :/

Thanks Nintendo Life! Post a pic of Megaman 7. Got me excited!

@AG2014 Yes please MM&B, but please patch in the SNES control scheme. The GBA's sucked.

X3, you will be mine!!!

Stoked about all of these, except for Battle Chip Challenge. BCC was pretty terrible. Personally, I think it's the worst Mega Man game out there. I would've much preferred Mega Man 7, Mega Man and Bass, Mega Man Zero, Mega Man ZX, or a main series Battle Network game. Basically, any other Mega Man game.
