Mega Man 9 Official Box Art

Sporting phrases like "ultrasound graphics synthesis" and "8-bit fidelity engine" you can tell straightaway that this creation has its tongue firmly in its cheek! Compared to the original Mega Man and Mega Man 2 box art by Capcom USA at least this is an evolution in art style.

This artwork has got it all, a badly airbrushed Mega Man, a cyborg Dr. Wily and even the classic early NES grid background.

Why are people upset about this? This game is aimed at those who actually owned the original Megaman games. This is hilarious.

My god, that box art harkens back to the first two games all right. I remember always looking at the boxes for those and wondering "how the hell did they come up with this, have they played the game at all?" But then 3 came along and the art's been on track ever since. Plus, 3 is probably my favourite Megaman game, then 2, then 4. Megaman X ruled as well.
