Rockman EXE 4.5: Real Operation coming to Japanese Wii U

Rockman EXE 4-5 BCGWrapping up the series on the Gameboy Advance, Rockman EXE 4.5: Real Operation has been announced for the Japanese Wii U eShop. Real Operation utilizes an internal battery for a real-time clock to progress the story and events in the game. Physical copies of the game have their batteries long expired, making this release a good way to experience the game! Japanese players can pick up the game on January 13th, 2016 for 702 yen.

Real Operation is one of the EXE games that never came over for the western audiences. At this time, it is very unlikely the game will hit international shores once again.

Unique to the series with an emphasis on a more realistic Navi experience, the game is also well known for its integration with the BattleChip Gate. Using Navi Data Chips, 8 exclusive playable navis were able to be unlocked (StarMan, NapalmMan, IceMan, ElecMan, PlantMan, KnightMan, ShadowMan, and Bass). The Virtual Console release can unlock them via pressing L and R in the Navi Select menu screen. However, other functions of the Gate and the Communications menu will not be active for this release.
