This might be the best box art to come out in the last twenty years. Seriously, where do I start? The awesome airbrush job? The ridiculous designs of Mega Man and Dr. Wily? The classic grid background? Hell, it actually uses the phrases "Ultrasound Graphics Synthesis" and "8-bit Fidelity Engine." This is the best box art EVER!
Capcom is getting everything right with the retro throwback that is Mega Man 9. If you read my hands-on impressions yesterday you know I love the game. This box art just takes everything over the edge.
What do you think? So good or so, SO good? What is your favorite part of this nostalgic creation? If this game is a download, why is there even box art to begin with?

Either way, the retro cover is amazing!
But i thought the game was going to be download only, therefore no box art. Did i miss something?
injustice!

i would kill to have a poster of that or a t-shirt. someone make one!!! PLOX
anyone else like mach rider? no? i'm the only one and i still play it on the VC...
Which also reminds me, what's happening with that metroid game that guy was making? It looked kickass as well.
I do feel the need to ask the question of "will this just be a graphic on the game download screen or will it somehow be distributed after purchase?" It leads me to beleive that it might possibly get thrown in as a DVD extra for the next multiplatform Megaman game but I really have nothing to back that up.
