All Articles: Mega Man X

If you’re a fan of retro gaming, then today’s a good day to visit the Nintendo eShop. Three games from Nintendo’s illustrious past are now available to download through their digital storefront.

Let’s start with the Wii U eShop, and that’s because owners of Nintendo’s home console are now able to download Wave Race 64, one of the best games from the Nintendo 64’s launch period. An argument could even be made that it’s one of the best games ever released for the Nintendo 64, period. Also available to download this week is Mario Sports Mix, a mash-up of hockey, basketball, volleyball, and dodgeball that was originally released for the Wii in 2010.

Jumping over to the 3DS eShop, we find that Mega Man X, the first Mega Man game released for the Super NES all the way back in 1993, is now available to download for Nintendo’s handheld. Fans love the game’s colorful new characters and more mature storyline, and the brutal difficulty will provide a challenge for even the toughest players.

More details on all of these games (and a few other new releases) can be found after the break. (more…)

This week’s Nintendo Download proves that it’s a good day to be a retro game fan.

Today, Nintendo has added The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages and The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons to the 3DS eShop. To ensure that you buy them both, Nintendo has even discounted the games to $4.99 each through June 20.

Two more classic games from Capcom were added to the Wii U eShop today. Mega Man X (originally released for the Super NES) and Ghosts ‘n Goblins (originally released for the NES) are now available to download and if you buy one, you can get the other for 50% off now through June 6.

Also available this week are two original 3DS games: quirky RPG The Denpa Men 2: Beyond the Waves and animal sports sim Gummy Bears Mini Golf.
