Dr. Wily's Revenge Blasts Onto eShop

After having heard musings of it coming months ago, Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge has finally arrived on the Nintendo 3DS eShop. And not just in Europe territories, but in North America as well. The Game Boy classic will run you $3.99 (£3.60).

Wily's Revenge may not be the best of the Game Boy sub-series (that honor goes to V), but it does boast a nice, bite-sized Mega Man experience. Also Enker.

With Wily's Revenge under our belt, we can look forward to the next 3DS Virtual Console release. What could it be? Well, there's a lot of possibilities from Mega Man II, to the early-late 2000 Game Boy Advance outings (Battle Network, Zero, etc.). Anything in particular you'd like to see down the line?

Thanks for the tip, Kagu

  1. I think we're going to get the rest of the Gameboy Mega Man's, then the Extreme titles.

  2. I rather for them to make a new rockman for 3DS.

  3. This game makes me cry. It used to frustrate me how I could only shave off 1 unit of health from bosses when their attacks could rape me 4 to 5 units of health per attack.

  4. Of course there's nothing in particular that I would like to see next. Capcom doesn't listen to fans anyway.

  5. I just hope we get to World 4 and 5. I lost 'em a decade back and they were easily my favorites of the World games.

    Anyway I wonder if anyone at Capcom loathes Quint or the game itself enough to skip World 2.

  6. Skip MM2GB. It's horrible.

    OOOOOOOOOR

    Make a remake of it! Someone should do justice to that title!

  7. I bought it. Not because I really like this one. But because I want to let those morons at Capcom know this franchise can still make money.

  9. forget the zero series. if you're going to play them on the 3DS, you may as well have the zero collection. far superior to the games by themselves.

    and let's be honest here. mega man collection for the game boy advance should have been finished and released instead of the original black and white ones. $$$ grab.

    ranting aside, mega man and bass. that deserves to see the light of day once again for sure. but to be realistic, Extreme 1 and 2. never got to play those.

  10. I'd rather see something new like Mega Man Legends 3 than a game I already completed. Why can't Capcom released the 5 GB games like this:

    But also including the original versions (available from the beginning, not unlockable like Metroid Zero Mission)

  11. @anonymous 4:

    i seriously doubt capcom hates anything that's guaranteed to make them @#$%loads of money. besides, capcom seems to be steadily releasing the older games, with but a few hickups between releases. it's the new games they're scared of.

  12. I actually kinda like World 2. Heck, I even love the soundtrack, as I find the original compositions to be pretty catchy (it's just unfortunate that the instrumentation is so shrill).

  13. this game will probably have you accidentally killing off Mega Man more times than Capcom can on purpose. thats from igns review =0 its crazy cause its true! =/ i miss mega man

  14. "Rockman and Forte" could use another appearance.

  15. HaHa I downloaded this like 2 minutes after the eShop updated. Though, I would LOVE to see a 3rd Xtreme done. Yeah, MegaMan Xtreme 3D! Name goes good. The 3rd on a 3D system, title flows.

  16. Downloaded it, and enjoying. Nice to be able to savescum through those insanely hard parts.

    I've always liked this game for how it tries to do so much, with so little. A lot of people think Wily's Revenge is just a downport of MM1, but really it's something entirely new. New stages, new music, new boss patterns, and of course new bosses, and Enker.
