Mega Man 9 shirts to be made available to adoring public photo

If you saw either Chad's Mega Man 9 box art worship post, or my brief interview with Takashita-san about how awesome his box art adorned t-shirt was, then you know that some of us here at the 'toid are hankering for some irony packed videogame attire. Capcom has heard our our cry, and they have answered the call. According to Capcom-Unity.com, the Mega Man 9 box art image all of E3 fell in love with will make it's way to retail t-shirts (and hopefully designer suits, lunch boxes, and home wallpapers) sometime in the coming months. 

It is truly a magical and wonderful time when we can buy a t-shirt for $15-$20 that depicts the imaginary box art of a game that only costs $10. The Jetsons could only dream of a future this weird and awesome. 

Thanks KamikazeTutor for the image

I wonder if it will be around for Comic Con because my goal was to beat both stages and get the shirt. Now I may just beat the stages then buy the shirt.

CAPCOM is now one step away from being my favorite third party... if only RE5 was on the Wii.

I'd love to do a contest of this nature. However, the point of this post is that these shirts will soon be on sale to the general public. Giving away prizes that are $15-%20 retail is a little cheap, even by D-toid standards.

Now if we could give away an actual, working Mega Man 9 NES cartridge, that would be something else entirely.

If we spooge enough about an actual NES cart release can we get that as well?

This is a Mega Man product I would actually buy.

@dephect
And it would look like shit, unless you can get your hands on a high-res version of the cover art. DIY only works to an extent.

[b]Jonathan Holmes[/b[, that's EXACTLY what I'm hoping for. Some kind of limited edition NES cartridge release complete with the old style cardboard box with all the art. That would be incredible.
