Nintendo eShop Expands Its Mega Man Collection Throughout May
Every Thursday throughout the rest of May, Nintendo's 3DS eShop will list another Mega Man game – four of Mega Man's Game Boy adventures and two of his Game Boy Color titles.
Nintendo says that it is celebrating Mega Man's inclusion into Super Smash Bros. with the release of these six classic Game Boy games. This seems like a late celebration since Mega Man was announced ages ago. But whatever the reason, here's a list of the Mega Man games you can download this month on your 3DS:
- May 1: Mega Man Xtreme
- May 8: Mega Man 2, Mega Man 3
- May 15: Mega Man 4
- May 22: Mega Man 5
- May 29: Mega Man Xtreme 2

Our Take
I love Mega Man, but I've never gotten around to playing all the Game Boy titles. This looks like a good opportunity, but five bucks for a black and white Game Boy title seems a little high to me. I wish these were selling these in a eShop collector's set.
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.
