The original Mega Man is due to shoot, jump and take on the best Robot Masters this week on Virtual Console.
According to Nintendo Everything, the game that started it all is due to slip onto the service this week, to prepare fans for the much-anticipated Mega Man 9 release in September.
The Capcom Unity blog reveals that "The orginal Mega Man game returns on the Virtual Console this Monday, August 4, 2008. Yes, that's right. Brush up on your old school skills and prepare for some cool contests we have in store. We also plan to re-release Mega Man 2 in early September as well."
First appearing on the NES in 1987, we saw the blue wonder leaping into action going from level to level, taking down the Robot Masters and borrowing their abilities.
