Beginning today Mega Man 5 can be downloaded for Wii via Nintendo’s Virtual Console for 500 Wii Points.
Originally released in 1992 on the NES, this platforming action game features Mega Man in his classic 8-bit glory as he runs, jumps and shoots his way through 13 stages and eight robot masters.
Mega Man 5 is rated “E for Everyone” by the ESRB.

Yup, that’s XSEED. This pretty much confirms that Solatorobo is on the way to North America and the game’s localization will be handled by XSEED. Nice to see that we won’t miss out on this title!
Update: Bumping this to the front page using the new gallery setup. Should be easier to view images now. Please let me know if you encounter any issues!
Granted nothing crazy happens, the new gallery system on the site should be fixed. So from here on out, I’ll try to use the new setup. Of course, if it ends up causing more issues, I’ll have to reinvestigate the situation. Hopefully this is the last bit of maintenance we’ll have to deal with for awhile.
This information comes from Animal Crossing creator Katsuya Eguchi…
“To those Animal Crossing fans, I just would like them to know that there’s progress and we should be able to offer a new download movie soon. As for features and specs of the game, I can’t go into too much detail, but players will be able to arrange their furniture the way they like, and we’ll be offering new networking experiences.”
I truly hope Nintendo mixes things up with this Animal Crossing outing. I personally felt that the DS title was the best in the series since I enjoy that type of experience more on handhelds, but I was honestly getting tired of the franchise at that point. I haven’t even played City Folk since it just looks too darn similar. Here’s hoping that the networking options are much more robust on the 3DS.

This information comes from Satoru Iwata…
“There’s a cost issue. Technically, it is possible for the Wii U to support multiple Wii U Controllers. We’re not planning on asking our customers to buy multiple Wii U Controllers.”
I’m starting to really wonder how much these controllers could cost. Obviously they’re expensive based on all of the parts inside… but how much?

A few sites are reporting that an announcement will soon be made for Solatorobo in North America. Some folks are speculating the XSEED will be publishing the title, though that has yet to be confirmed. Apparently we’ll be seeing the announcement before month’s end. If it happens, we’ll be sure to let you know!
