You’ve all been asking for it, and now Nintendo finally delivers. With the next batch of DLC for Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, supposedly comes along a new Mii Gunner costume for — you guessed it — MegaMan.EXE!
At the moment, this is still a rumor; this information was leaked by a Twitter user by the name of Random Talking Bush, who also leaked image files depicting a new stage and a Splatoon Inkling trophy. Nonetheless, keep a close eye on the upcoming Super Smash Bros. Live Presentation, which airs tomorrow, 14th June at 7:40 AM PT.
European players, the wait is almost over!

Both White and Blue versions will be available separately for €6.99 or £6.29.
It’s that time for the year again: speedrunning group
Out of the blue, Nintendo has announced that this week’s digital downloads will bring two new Mega Man games to the European Virtual Console: Mega Man Battle Network 2 and Mega Man Zero 4! While Europe hasn’t reached MMBN3 and MMBN4 quite yet, this at least closes the gap a little. On the other hand, Europe is now two games ahead of North America in terms of Zero games.
Last year’s Capcom Special Selection: Rockman EXE, will be getting a limited reprint. The set contains a soundtrack CD with 31 tunes from various games in the series, as well as a 32-page artbook.
Just like last year, Capcom will be holding a Mega May; a whole month of weekly Mega Man releases on Virtual Console. This year, all of the Virtual Console games will be for the Wii U, and this year’s North American line-up includes Mega Man Battle Network 3 and Mega Man Battle Network 4, as well as Mega Man & Bass and Mega Man Zero 2.
Everyone’s favorite MMBN game, Mega Man Battle Network 4, will be released on the Wii U eShop in Japan on March 25th. BN4 may have been notorious in the West for being the black sheep of the series; however, it was the best selling installment in the series. So now that the first three games are on the eShop, it’s no surprise that Capcom is following up with the fourth one.
It’s almost time for MAGfest in 2015, and that means another Mega Man-athon is upon us. Starting January 23rd, Half Empty E-Tank will be hosting the third 72-hour Mega Man marathon live at MAGfest with many different guest players, including TeamBN who will once again be running various Battle Network games!
The wait is over: Mega Man Battle Network 2 is now available on the Wii U eShop in North America! As is the standard for GBA games, it costs $7.99. Surprisingly, it’s kept its E for Everyone rating!
