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 ofMega Man 2andMega 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 arecurrently availablefor pre-order, are going for $100 and are limited to 8,500 copies. They will only work on NTSC consoles (US and Japan).
While theXcart is definitely nice, I’m very partial to the light blueMega Man 2cart. 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.
