Capcom has announced that it's bringing six handheld Mega Man games to the 3DS virtual console in May.

The stack of vintage titles include the balance of the remaining Game Boy Mega Man titles along with two from Game Boy Colour fame.

All six will make their way to the virtual console, but Capcom's decided to host a poll to see which one will lead the charge.

From now until 10am PST (7am EST / noon GMT) on April 14, you can head over to this Capcom Unity post and vote on which of the following six titles you'd like to see first:

  • Mega Man II
  • Mega Man III
  • Mega Man IV
  • Mega Man V
  • Mega Man Xtreme (Game Boy Color)
  • Mega Man Xtreme 2 (Game Boy Color)

It's worth noting that these are the gray-ish green Game Boy versions of Mega Man II - V and aren't the 8-bit NES versions most gamers are familiar with.

The winning title from the above poll will be released on May 1 2014, with the others following each Thursday thereafter.
