A few days ago, Capcom discounted two Mega Man Virtual Console titles on the eShop in North America – well, the US that is. The sale wasn’t valid in Canada for whatever reason(s).

Interestingly though, it seems that both games – Mega Man X on Wii U and Dr. Wily’s Revenge on 3DS – have now been discounted. Each is $2 through the 24th.

No idea why the sale started in Canada a bit later, but all’s well that ends well!
