With the advent of Street Fighter X Mega Man today, Capcom has some more interesting news for fans of the Blue Bomber. On December 27th, Capcom will begin doling out the NES-era Mega Man games on the Nintendo 3DS eShop, starting with the first Mega Man. Capcom will follow this up by the vastly superior Mega Man 2 on February 7th, with the rest to be staggered out into the rest of 2013. Here’s the official post from Capcom’s Mega Man blog:
Japan and Europe have had their fun, now it’s time for the North American eShop to get in on the action. Each of the classic NES Mega Man titles (that’s 1~6) will come to said eShop beginning with the original Mega Man on December 27 – that’s 10 days from now!
This will be followed by Mega Man 2 on February 7, with the rest of the games coming in regular intervals throughout 2013. You’ll soon have the whole collection on one handheld!
This, along with Street Fighter X Mega Man, is a nice gesture for the 25th anniversary of Mega Man, but when are we going to get a new game, Capcom? It’s about time we saw the return of Dr. Wily and all the other robots.
I've been gaming since my dad made the bad decision of buying me a Nintendo when I was four years old. Every day I'd find myself with my face glued to a TV screen, punching away at buttons, getting furious with Bowser, Dr. Wily, and those freakin' birds in Ninja Gaiden. Since then I have failed to get my parents to play any board game with me, I sold my full copy of Earthbound with box and guide for $300 to some dude in Austria for rent money, and I still believe in Nintendo even after all these years.
