It was released on the Japanese Virtual Console in February, and the previous three Mega Man games came out in North America in 2008 around the release of Mega Man 9. With the March 1 release of Mega Man 10 right around the corner, it is likely that Mega Man 4, which originally came out in 1992 and added the ability to charge shots, will come out soon.
Mega Man 4
Platform: Wii
Rating: Everyone
Content descriptors: Mild Cartoon Violence
Rating summary: This is an action-platformer game in which players control a small figure that shoots and jumps its way through sci-fi environments. Players can use an arm cannon to shoot tiny pellets at enemy creatures (e.g., robotic hippos, caterpillars, and spaceships); effects include small white bursts and brief explosion sounds.
Of course, because I own the Anniversary Collection there's really no reason to buy this again.The jump and shoot buttons not being switched is more than enough reason to drop $5 on this.

which originally came out in 1992 and added the Mega BusterUm, what? The Mega Buster is the name of Mega Man's normal arm cannon, he has had it ever since the first Mega Man. Mega Man 4 is simply the first game which refers to it as the Mega Buster.
Good timing, with MM10 coming out. I always liked 4.
I wonder why none of the X series games have made it to the VC?
Any more reasons.....? :@Mid-level suspend? Wii controller held on its side better replicates the NES pad? Paying $0.25 on the dollar for Wii points and having over 14,000 points on account?

I just looked this up to be sure, but that is incorrect. Those games use some chip called Cx4, which would probably still pose a problem with emulation.I wonder why none of the X series games have made it to the VC?
FX Chip, at least in the case of X2 and X3.
Mega Man's arm cannon was the Mega Blaster until Mega Man 4 apparently.That's just a name change, and not a new weapon as the wording of the article makes it seem. It's still called the Mega Buster in Mega Man 9 even though it has no charge function.
