VC Tuesday: The Mystery of Dr. Wily
The Mega Man love-in continues on the Japanese Virtual Console, with perhaps the most beloved entry in the extraordinarily prolific franchise -- the one that spawned "Okkusenman." The only other game on the Virtual Console today: Chase H.Q., Taito's police pursuit racer.
Rockman 2 (Famicom, 1 player, 500 Wii Points)
Chase H.Q. (PC Engine, 1 player, 600 Wii Points)
The relatively light VC release schedule (for Japan) is ameliorated by the fact that one of the games is Mega Man 2. It's also bolstered rather significantly by the WiiWare releases, which include both Alien Crush Returns and Space Invaders Get Even!, two games that oh man we are seriously dying for.
Alien Crush Returns (1 player [up to 4 online], 800 Wii Points)
Space Invaders Get Even! (1 player, 500 Wii Points)
