Mega Man NES cart mock up; I wish this was real
funran \| 1:41 PM on 09.16.2008	25 comments

Capcom might have created one of the best video game concept box art in the world. We've all seen the Mega Man 9 logo/cover for the to be soon released XBLA/PSN/WiiWare game, but have we seen it like this? Capcom has gone beyond expectations and have physically created the NES box / nes cartridge disc holder for their up and coming neo-classic. This deliciously retro homage is much appreciated by yours truly, but much more appreciated by the press who actually will be receiving it. Just in case this is TOO retro for you (jim!), just lift open the NES cart to reveal the "asset disc", media DVD. At least I assume this disc is packed with trailers and promotional material, and not the real game. Either way this is a must have for collectors, only if there was an easy way of getting my hands on this. How many old ladies would you push over for this? CHAD?

Must have = no one will be able to afford it on eBay!

This would sell amazingly if it was offered at a store.

Mr Wilson

I havent been really high on this whole deal until right now. I came thrice.

Kryptinite

funran

Guagloves

IF THEY RELEASED THIS IN STORES I WOULD BUY 5. This is so fucking win it's disgusting.

The-Excel

Posting to say that the inevitable Destructoid contest for one of these has already been won.

I'm not sure if I can post an edit to the Blog, but it is confirmed that they will make around 200 available on the Capcom store that will come with a voucher to download one of the versions of the game. :( 200 isnt enough.

Genfuyung

It will be so hard to get one off their site. 200? Its cool that its limited but capcoms site is going to get fucked.

mix

That is so awesome!

eternalplayer2345

xbla and psn only? Thats strange considering the nintendo console doesn't even get a chance at the mock nes special edition.

funran

Eternal,

What do you mean?

Necros

I would pay damn good money for this. Why don't they make more?

For that matter, I'd pay money for a lot of the perks given away for free to press members. Let me give you my savings, publishers!
