Quick Move Reversals, Alpha Counters and the incredible Custom Combo System created a standard for all games to fight by.

Previously hidden characters Dan, Akuma and Bison are joined by five fighters: Rolento, Gen, Sakura and classic favorites Dhalsim and Zangief.


Virtual Console on Nintendo 3DS

  • Mega Man V – It’s Mega May! Every Thursday in May, a different Mega Man game will launch in the Virtual Console section of the Nintendo eShop on Nintendo 3DS. This week’s release is Mega Man V, which originally launched on the Game Boy system in 1994. During a peaceful stroll with his sister, Roll, Mega Man is confronted by a powerful robot that drops from the sky. The enemy easily defeats Mega Man, and then quickly dispatches an army of robots to conquer Earth. Waking up in Dr. Light’s laboratory, Mega Man is given a new and powerful weapon to defeat the alien invasion: the Mega Arm. Using the aid of weapon upgrades and companion assists, Mega Man blasts through waves of robotic foes to solve the mystery behind this alien attack.
