Nintendo has revealed via its current Treehouse live stream that the coveted Mega Man 7 is available right now on the North American Wii U eShop!
The SNES classic joins over half a dozen other Mega Man games on the eShop. Thanks should be aimed towards Capcom for bulking out the Virtual Console so effectively.
There's no such luck for Europe, at least for the moment, but you can be sure we'll update this article if that changes.
Is seven too many? Of course not! But feel free to voice your opinion in the comments section below.

Don't need to DL it, just watched them play the whole thing.
Excellent game. The most underrated in the series.
Well im happy but might wait for a sale for now.
The one they should have released in August....
Never played this one.
Don't need to DL it, just watched them play the whole thing.
Watching a video of someone playing the game is not the same as playing it yourself.
I'll download it ASAP.
Still waiting for X3 & 7 over here in the UK ... Hopefully don't have to wait too long for them! :/
But..but i want it in europe
@AlexOlney There are actually a dozen Mega Man games on the Wii U eshop now not a little over a half a dozen, but regardless this is excellent news!
Never played this one, looks fun.
@Neko_Rukiafan Actually, (not counting the GBA and DS) We have every single mega man game that can be added to the VC. We can't get Mega Man 8 and X4-8.
Oh cool!
Something good for once in N America.
@rjejr Right!
Hopefully Bass and (if Sega can get it's act together and saturn) 8 won't be too far off.
Excellent!
@Captain_Toad
You do realize that 8 is for Playstation. So it's very unlikely sadly... As well as Bass was only released here in the US for the GBA.
@SuperTeeter64 8 was also available for the Sega Saturn (and I believe it was also part of the anniversary collection).
@SparkOfSpirit
agreed. its really sad we couldn't get 1 more like it. the music was great in it!
i even made some rap mashups of megaman 7!

@Yorumi
It is impressive how many game capcom puts out on the VC
nintendo could learn
Unannounced on the very day that I beat Mega Man 6.
nooooooooooo.... Come to Europe with X3!
Sweet, I love 7! One of my favs, 3 being my absolute fav, though.
i got them all and no 7 not too many , when u a real fan u want all of them on the same console ^^
While I hate Capcom for taking Resident Evil away, I am glad they are putting games on the eShop. They woud be stupid not to really, as many 3rd parties are when it comes to the Virtual Console. There's a lot of old games I want to play
Finally, now all I need is Mega Man 8 on PSN!
We could get Mega Man 8 and X4 Saturn if Sega would add more systems to the VC. Since the 360 could handle NiGHTS, Radiant Silvergun, and Guardian Heroes, I see no reason why the Wii U can't.
It would be nice to have re-releases of Mega Man 9 and 10, too.
I'm glad they've added it. I will probably pick this up later
I am protesting until they call it Rockman as it should be. Mega man is a slightly out of shape midde aged man in a bad fitting space suit with a laser gun.
It is cool that at least one company besides Nintendo is still fully behind the VC service.
Whoop!! Heading to sShop!
@SuperTeeter64 There's both versions. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mega_Man_8
Solid game. Also super freaking expensive to track down on SNES.
I'm so excited! Prices for the original Game Pak have been out of my budget. I'm going home and getting this one!
I can't get enough Mega Man.
I have a feeling that Capcom is that one company that has a million VC games but are scared nobody else cares about the VC. It's like when you think that you know the answer to a really easy question in an English or Chemistry class, but you are scared to raise your hand because nobody is.
Surprise!
@mjc0961
and your in-depth and lengthy review shows that its just yer opinion.
mega man 8 is in fact a great game.
Horrible voice acting aside, Mega Man 8 is indeed a great game.
@Bass_X0 "Agreed!"
@ogo79 Entirely agreed.I really liked Megaman 8. I liked it better than 7 actually...
8 is very good...great music...funny bosses...intense classic difficulty...
Clown Man's voice was pretty goofy if i remember correctly...
I would get this game, but I own most classic Mega Man games on the 29.99 Mega Man Anniversary collection for PS2...I remember getting that one the day it came out
Yaaay! Thanks to Teslagrad and that lovely Collectors' Edition of Monster Hunter 4, I shall await next week's paycheck to download this one. I've always loved 7.
@KFlow325 Aqua Man was the worst.
I will definitely be getting this, but I really hope we can get other Mega Man games like 8 and Mega Man Soccer
@edgedino
theres already a sale on mega man 7. on ebay it goes for 150$...nintenedo is offering it to you for a discount of 142$ what more can you really ask for?
@ogo79 lol well it's still a lot to me and yes i'm a cheapskate but that's cause I have to be careful with my money lol.
I'll skip this one, still have this on the Mega Man collection game.
9 and 10 should be re-worked for the eShop
CAPCOM ARCADE CABINET would be nice!!!
Man, I've been waiting for this to drop for awhile! Maybe not THE best Megaman game, but has always been one my favorites. Now I can finally give my cart a rest...valuable or not...it's hard to keep this game out of my snes!
@joey302 totally agree with that statement! !
