Publishers don't normally show off glamour shots of their press asset discs, but such discs are rarely packaged like the one for
Mega Man 9 is. The disc comes packaged in a reproduction NES cartridge, which comes with the
Mega Man 9 "boxart" -- now on a
real box. The back of the box even features the "
Captain Commando" character (before he was redesigned for the SNES/arcade game) found on Capcom's early NES games like
Gun.Smoke and
Trojan -- and
Mega Man, obviously. The
details are what make the whole thing perfect.
Good news for non-press types: Capcom is considering selling a limited quantity of 200 or so online! In addition, the
Mega Man 9 shirts will be available for sale soon. Get your money ready! Head past the break to see the terrible secret of the NES cartridge.
