The latest update to the ESRB's ratings search page reveals some new games headed to the Virtual Console; among the more notable releases are King of Fighters '94, Top Hunter, Rolling Thunder 2 and The Dynastic Hero. The most notable release is Puyo Puyo 2-- on principle, anyway. That's because, while there are already two Puyo games on the VC, Puyo Puyo 2 is another of Sega's promised imports. As "awesome" as a third Puyo Puyo game is, the news is completely obliterated by the latest OFLC updates for Australia: Blades of Steel and Mega Man 2, which probably hint at a European release as well. We don't even have Mega Man yet! This must be what it feels like for European and Australian gamers most of the time. Have fun playing basically the best game ever, jerks. We'll just ... oh, wait, we've got the NES cartridge, and also the Mega Man Anniversary Collection. We'll just play one of those while listening to "Okkusenman".

Mega Man 2 = best NES 3rd party release, in my opinion anyway, along with the best soundtrack of the 8-bit generation.

You know, I can't read the article because every time I try the freaking Box Art just pull my eyes. It's more like the guy who draw it thought "Well, it's megaman. It has got to be like Ultraman. Wait, more like Ultraman has seeing in a drug induced nightmare".
I just don't know where the hell that dragon come from. Well, at least it's made on state-of-the-art High Resolution Graphics for the bairgain price of 44.95 bucks.

It's 44.95 pounds. Which, at the current exchange rate, is 93 USD.
Also, yay. There are good things about being in countries like Australia. Except I'm not in Australia. Well, not for a week or so anyway.

There was a robot dragon in MMII. I think it was on the Dr Wily board.
MMII Was definitely one of the best nes games ever but that box art is even worse than the US box for Mega Man 1.
Seriously, it looks like the movie poster for
Uwe Boll's Mega Man, Starring Jason Statham as Mega Man.

Oh please. It happens to every game (except for that odd one game). AND you forgot the INSANE inflated prices.

Good: the brilliant Mega Man 2 might soon be a part of the VC cathalogue
Bad: 50hz mode only, already on the Mega Man Anniversary Collection
The hitboxes in the AC version of Mega Man 2 are a tad bigger than in MM2, but it's not gamebreaking. They button layout is the bigger problem (fixable via getting the PS2 version or using a pad adaptor and/or a programmable pad...err this is getting to far)
MM:AC was never available in Europe, so if someone onyl wants to play some Mega Man games, downloading on VC might be cheapter than getting a freeloader, a Gamecube and the Collection.
