Nice Troll Capcom — Mega Man Based on NES Box Art in Street Fighter X Tekken

In 2010 Keiji Inafune, the creator of Mega Man, left Capcom and it seems Capcom has decided the best way to get over the break-up is to burn everything Keiji left behind. That blue scamp Mega Man just reminds Capcom of the good times, so in order to move on he’s had all his upcoming games cancelled and been excluded from company crossover games like Marvel vs. Capcom 3. Such is the healing process.

Some fans haven’t been too happy that the past year has had zero Mega Man games instead of the usual dozen-or-so, and have taken to yelling at Capcom about it at every opportunity like a mother-in-law that just can’t accept the divorce is final. Well good news squeaky wheels, turns out the upcoming Street Fighter X Tekken game will have Mega Man in it! Just one catch — his design will be based on the infamously terrible American box art for the original Mega Man.

Clap……clap……clap…clap…clap…clapclapclap…bravo Capcom, bravo. A truly inspiring troll. You can check out a Street Fighter X Tekken trailer featuring 80s box art Mega Man after the jump.

One question — why isn’t Pac-Man’s look also based on terrible 80s box art?

Missed opportunity.
