People who didn't grow up in the NES era are going to look at this and say "That looks like SH*T". Technically, I guess they're kind of right. Luckily, old folk like me know that the look is quite intentional, and that to see a company with the guts to release a game looking like this in 2008 is the sexiest thing I've seen all year. I love you so hard, Capcom.
Sadly you can't technically buy this packaging, but Capcom whipped it up to send their pals in the press as a promotional tool. In other words, as soon as I finish this post, I am going to get my car and drive to Nick Chester's house, hide in his bushes until UPS comes, and beat the everliving Christ out of that delivery man and steal the package. If Nick tries to intercept, I'll destroy him too. DO YOU HEAR ME, CHESTER?

But seriously, I want to do dirty things to that box. It's probably a good thing I won't get one.
Godspeed Colette, Godspeed.
I came, etc.
I may be 15, but Im black, so I already have inane skills with fucking shit up, intentionally or unintentionally. I learned from Sam Jackson, so you can count on me Mr.Chester!
In real news, that looks so cool for some reason. Capcom should really make that a limited edition release for the public. That would rake in millions for them.
and the cart has to work in my NES
Tease.
I just hope they don't all get snagged by assholes who only want to make a profit on ebay :(
@Fronz what are you supposed to do with a UPS truck when Collete and Nick will be fighting over promotional materials?

My name is KMCC. Will you consider sending that to me? It would be really cool.
