Nintendo Download Loaded With Mega Man

The Blue Bomber doesn’t come alone- Minecraft launches and Cloud joins Smash.

Fans of Mega Man rejoice: Mega Man Zero 4 and Mega Man Battle Network 5: Team Colonel and Team Protoman both launch on the Wii U Virtual Console this week.  eShop series The Legend of Dark Witch launches its second title, which plays similarly to Mega Man games of old, including new weapons earned by beating bosses.

Minecraft’s Wii U version finally releases as well, including off-screen gameplay and a premium $30 price tag.  One imagines this version a solid pick for kids of parents who don’t want to share the screen during big games (of any variety).

And finally, Cloud releases for Smash Bros for $5.99, including his very own Midgar stage.

A large number of eShop titles will also be vying for your Christmas check from Grandma during extensive sales that end in January.
