MegaMan 2 - Image 1Proving to us that it's not always the PAL territories that get the short end of the stick is this week's findings from the OFLC website - which lists two Virtual Console titles, one of them still unannounced for the other territories. These aforementioned titles are Blades of Steel from Konami and MegaMan 2 from Capcom (the latter hailed as one of the best games ever made).

For those of us unfamiliar with both games, here's a little backgrounder: Blades of Steel is pretty much like Double Dribble, except it's about hockey rather than basketball. It's fast-paced, ridiculously addictive and has voice - a rare combination during that era of videogaming.

Megaman 2
is the legendary sequel to Capcom's original platformer, where the self-aware robot must once more battle against Robot Masters gone rogue.

Megaman 2 is also where the videogame community first saw the new changes that now are considered staple to the series - examples of which are the E-tank, and having to fight each Robot Master in a single room with teleportation devices.

Definitely an exciting update for Wii owners in PAL territories indeed. Now, if only Nintendo would get the lead out and announce the original MegaMan for NTSC territories already, then everything would be squared away.

...

The robots in the original series were NOT self aware, they were bound by the Asimovian laws. Self-awareness is what distinguishes the reploids from the robots.
