Those in North America who have been keeping their eyes on the Wii U eShop my have noticed the long-awaited appearance of Mega Man Battle Network in this week's Download Update. Alongside this was some even more exciting news.

The announcement was made earlier today:

If you like Mega Man, then you’re in for a treat - a classic Mega Man game will release every Thursday in August in the Nintendo eShop on Wii U!

There's no word as to which exact games we'll be seeing, but with a library as vast as Mega Man's, four more titles will be extremely welcome; it's a neat follow-up to the Mega May promotion on the 3DS Virtual Console earlier this year. Even if Mega Man's not your bag, no one can deny that an addition to the eShop of this calibre is a good thing.

So far this has only been announced for the North American Wii U Virtual Console, but if it should spread to other territories you can be sure we'll let you all know.

What Mega Man games would you like to see on the eShop in the coming month?
