Bad box art mega man... BAD BOX ART MEGAMAN?!?!

why??????? Capcom hates the blue bomber :(

TechSaga AKA GerbilSaga

[SeanOrange]

@TechSaga I really don't see this as making fun of Mega Man, just creative license on their own character that they couldn't have gotten away with using Namco's properties. Imagine "Hobo Pac-Man" when Namco gets their turn! Hahaha

Besides, I think it's AWESOME. Clearly.

[PCGAMEfreak]

How is Pac Man going to fit in the Street Fighter and Tekken unvierse? I think that's a really cool concept. Crossing the two most popular game series of all time.

[SeanOrange]

@PCGAMEfreak And this is just Capcom's take! I'm interested to see what Namco will do when it's their turn.

[SeanOrange]

@PCGAMEfreak I'm no good at them, but they're fun to play here and there. Just sunk my virtual teeth into Soul Calibur V yesterday.

[LarryBundyJr]

Do you think bomber man act zero was the nail in the coffin for Hudson?

[SeanOrange]

@LarryBundyJr I'll try to get Vinnk to answer that; I didn't even know that game existed! I didn't even know they had been making the Mario Party games until recently, either...

[Morahman7vnNo2]

Who knows, maybe Hudson will have a rebirth like SNK did.

But really, I'm actually pretty bothered, THEY WERE THE LITTLE COMPANY THAT COULD!

[PCGAMEfreak]

@SeanOrange Yeah,neither am I, but I'm not a real big fan of those games. Give me a FPS, like Halo or Call of Duty, then I'm all over it. Or better yet, Borderlands. I like Borderlands, because it's a mix of RPGs, and FPS.

[TechSaga]

@Oneupgamer lol! I know this.

[Oneupgamer]

@TechSaga actually it looks like the mega man from the original nes boxart wich was pretty cheesey, i'm guessing thats why he was called "bad boxart megaman"

[naptimewithturtles2]

Thank God SNK is releasing a new console.. The arcades will be dominated by SNK once again!! We need more red cabinets...

[TechSaga]

@SeanOrange I do! They don't release games for Mega Man and instead cancel them, but they show bad box art mega man as a playable character? I must say its a mockery to us hard core MM fans -_- It's cool yes, I'll admit! Just..2 games capcom??? really?

[LarryBundyJr]

@SeanOrange Act Zero was a colossal mess. It was Japanese assumptions on making a game to appeal to Westerners, but not realising that they liked the Japanese style to begin with. There's a great article on the web with one of Hudson US's staff members.
