Legacy collection
Fans of physical copies and old school hardware have a reason to rejoice today as Capcom is teaming up with iam8bit to print reproduction carts of Mega Man 2 and Mega Man X. More than simply a gimmick, these carts will work on original hardware and will come with recreated box art, instruction manuals and some “retro” surprises. Both games, which are currently available for pre-order, are going for $100 and are limited to 8,500 copies. They will only work on NTSC consoles (US and Japan).
While the X cart is definitely nice, I’m very partial to the light blue Mega Man 2 cart. That looks really slick and it would be awesome to see in a top loader NES. If you’re lucky, your cart might even be a limited glow in the dark blue variant (which has a one in eight chance of being in your box), which would be even sweeter.
