This is creepy. Through the mystical force of the Internet, we here at Destructoid have discovered a video so awesome it has the power to magically control your finger to hit the Caps Lock and immediately type exclamations like “OMG!” and “DO WANT!” in the comments. I know it’s hard to believe, but you have to trust me on this.*
Mixing 2D sprites with dizzying 3D environments, YouTube user wartwartx has created an incredible 2.5D update of NES classic Mega Man 2 that really needs to be seen to be believed. Sadly, only one level (Metal Man) is on display, but, again, it is awesome enough to unleash its retromazing power over anyone that watches it.
Don’t believe me? Hit the jump and let us know what happens. Just don’t say I didn’t warn you. IT’S INTERNET MAGIC!
*If you are a diehard fan of retro games, the video may also result in intense salivation and a tightening of your pants.

This is kind of interesting, at first I thought it was 2d characters on a 3d landscape, like Doom 1 and 2 or Duke Nukem 3d. But this video was kind of...different. it's like someone took two sidescrolling screens and intersected them. Pretty cool.
That PS1 MegaMan pic threw me off. This was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay cooler than what I was expecting (as everyone else has already said). I would buy this game in a heartbeat.
I need to learn to fucking read. I saw the Megaman Legends and ended up cheesing my pants in hope of any possible update on the series. It's not. I want my semen back.
