Look at that box art.
Damn. You know, most people wish for their box art to look somewhere close to what the game is like, but instead, the original
Mega Man's box art is
that. To me, it looks like the artist or marketing team were on an acid trip while going over / creating that box art, and that is why we have
that. Certainly, some creative liberties were taken with that box art.
Anyways, I am not writing this article to talk about
that, but instead
this. Capcom has finally realized that they can make a lot of easy money by rereleasing
Mega Man for the Virtual Console. You know, as a kid, Mario was great and all, but at least for me Mega Man stole the show. I loved that series, and well,
Mega Man 2 is a masterpiece. I bet there are a lot of other people who hold a similar nostalgic value for Mega Man.
Well, fortunately for people like myself, Capcom has decided to start the hype train for the release of
Mega Man 9, the game that is quite possibly going to be the hardest Mega Man of all time, if what they said is to be believed. All I know is that I want the game, and to further make me want the game, Capcom is releasing
Mega Man for the Virtual Console, tomorrow. That's right, tomorrow kids, at least stateside. And even better news for me,
Mega Man 2 is coming out for the Virtual Console in early September.
Let the hype train roll, Capcom, I bet you'll see some healthy sales with those two releases, as well as the release of
Mega Man 9.
