what the heck, why is europe getting all the cool games all of the sudden

Where my GBA Mega Man Anniversary Collection capcom!

I rather they bring that to the estore.....

I believe the European and North American eShop are fairly similar release-wise ATM, NoE just has a different announcement schedule.

However be warned that Dr. Wily's Revenge is crazy difficult. Because of the larger sprites they cut Mega Man's jump height down to two blocks (his own height which is also the height of the robot masters) which makes it very hard to avoid enemies, especially Enker.

Maybe I'll finally get around to playing through it now that I can use save states. That game is brutal.
