Over this past summer, it seems that Nintendo of America has been focused on playing catch up with it's VC offerings. Of course, there are still some massive gaps to be filled, but the VC has been becoming more and more relevant as it's been gradually built up. The New 3DS SNES VC has also benefitted from this, and it seems that another important title will be landing on the service for this week's update.
Nintendo's site recently outed that Mega Man X will be making it's New 3DS VC debut tomorrow, about a month later than it's launch in Europe. We thought it was a pretty good time in our third review of the game, and it'll no doubt be an essential title to pick up for many. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come, it'd be great if the next two games also made their way to the portable.
What do you think? Will you be picking this up? What other games would you like to see added to VC? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

Nice!
... too bad I don't have a New 3DS, though...
And Europe will get both X2 and X3 tomorrow, so...
I'm definetely picking this up and I also want Street Fighter 2 and Alpha 2. Hopefully, they release as soon as possible.
I'm also expecting Mario RPG to show up on 3DS, but I think it'll take a while...
Cool... Cool...
Sweet. I've always wanted to try the Mega Man X series.
I'm very tempted actually. I found this to be a very enjoyable game. The downside is since I live in Canada NoC charges $11.29 instead of $9.99. I realise that the .$1.30 difference isn't a huge amount but it's enough to make me selective about the SNES VC console titles that I will buy on the New 3DS
I'd love to see more Gameboy, GBC, NES, Tg16, Genesis and game gear games on VC other than SNES games that I can't play on my older 3ds (which I know this subject has been kicked around but it's still ridiculous that it can't play them!)
For me, MMX games are the best MM games. Easily. Gonna pick this up to play around on lunch breaks at work.
If they released X2 and X3 I'd be delighted. And Super Mario RPG, and Super Castlevania, you know what they still have a lot to release damn it.
I expect super mario all stars to come someday...
The wiiu is getting wave race 64 and Mario sports mix in North America as well.
@faint Finally, an N64 game in NoA! Yes!
@faint Now I'm excited! I've been waiting to upgrade that one since 1080° Snowboarding came out!
I wish I could get into the Megaman games,I want to and I've tried to many times but I just can't.Megaman X2 and 9 are the 2 I've come closest to liking but I always give up on them.
Awesome, may get it once I got some points to spare.
So tempted to get the 3 X-series SNES games for both Wii U & N3DS but don't want to double dip. Still waiting for the sale that may never come.
At least I have the X-Collection on PS2 but damn do I need a PS2 controller with a good d-pad. Anyone want to sell me a Saturn Pad for PS2 at a good price?
Waiting patiently for Kirby's Dreamland 3, Super Mario All Stars, Breath of Fire 1 and 2.
So is Wave Race 64!!!!
This is great! Although I really hope Nintendo does cross-buy with the NX. I've purchased so many VC games multiple times just to play on different consoles, it's really the only major gripe I have with the Big N.
Finally, phew! Only seemingly near the end of 3DS's lifespan do I finally get what I want. My fav Mega Man ever, portable.
Bout darn time! I remember how cool this game was when I was younger. This PURCHASE is guaranteed!
