Mega Man 5 Now Available on Virtual Console

Get it while it's hot; it's not like you were doing anything else with your Wii.

Mega Man 5

Capcom’s Mega Man 5 has hit Nintendo’s Virtual Console. The action-platformer was originally launched way back in 1992 on the Nintendo Entertainment System. Gamers willing to plunk down 500 Wii points can leap and blast their way through its 13 stages and eight robot masters. Afterwards, they can finally put the age old question, “Is it better to be a master of robots, or a man who is mega?” to bed.
