More Mega Man Game Boy Titles Planned For 3DS Virtual Console
Only the first Mega Man Game Boy game is currently available on the 3DS Virtual Console, but Capcom is planning to expand that roster significantly.
Capcom has announced the Game Boy versions of Mega Man 2, 3, 4, and 5 are all planned for release on the Virtual Console. The Game Boy Color's Mega Man Xtreme and Xtreme 2 are also on the way.
Capcom doesn't have a release date to announce, but we should see them soon.

Our Take
I am a huge Mega Man X fan, so the chance to play the Xtreme games is very exciting. I have played all of the X games extensively, but was never able to check out the Xtreme games. I have strangely specific memories of learning about the Xtreme games in the early days of my Internet experiences and depressingly resigned myself to the fact that I would never get to play them. I don't know why I assumed I would never play them. It might have had something to do with the Blockbuster up the street from my house that never had either of the games available for rent. If only I knew then what I know now.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
