Mega Man 5, 6, X3, And Battle Chip Challenge Coming To Wii U This Month
Starting with the release of Mega Man Battle Network on Wii U Virtual Console last week, Capcom has promised a new Mega Man game every Thusday for the platform during the month of August. By September, every game in the list below and Mega Man Battle Network will be available to download on Wii U.
- Mega Man 5 (NES)
- Mega Man 6 (NES)
- Mega Man X3 (SNES)
- Mega Man Battle Chip Challenge (GBA)
Unfortunately, Capcom deliberately avoided revealing in what order the games will release, so if there is one in particular you'd like to download, you will have to check in every Thursday.
This is just the first of many planned Virtual Console release from Capcom. You can head here to see what else is planned for the future.

Our Take
I will check every week, and every week it is not Mega Man X3, I will be disappointed. Hopefully, it's the first one (second one technically, following Mega Man Battle Network) out of the gate.
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.
