The game itself is fine, nothing wrong with that... but the boxart?

Mega Man 9 Box Art

It wasn't necessary to do crappy retro boxart, Capcom. :shock:

Looks like a great parody of the first Megamans box arts.

I thought it was a 100% pure awesome nod to the terrible box arts of the old Mega Mans (Mega Men?). It's a WiiWare game, so it's not as if the box art counts for much.

That's awesome :shock:.

Very nice in recreating the art style of the first Mega Man games. Truly retro.

And what's wrong with it, anyway? It's supposed to be like that? Besides, it's box art...even though there is no box. This is for the fans.

He has a gun in both of them.

And man...wouldn't this make a sweet movie flyer, like for a live-action Mega Man? lol

I remember watching this one interview on that Megaman Anniversary Edition where they were discussing that... the guy basically said that they were just like "oh crap we need box art" so they got some guy to make it without really even telling him anything about the game at all.

They gotta show a picture of something when you navigate to it in the Wii Shop.

Very nice box art. Although as earlier mentioned, how can a downloadable game have box art? Do the mail you the box when you download it?

With all of these new Wii Music-like ga- erm, toys, it's a breath of fresh air to see something retro. I love it and it is a great idea, I do think that it would be silly to not have a retro front cover, if the game itself is all pixels, then I don't see why the cover shouldn't be! :D

I don't see the reason why they wouldn't do retro box art. It would match the game's new visual direction.

I only watched one episode, but it was in Korean like every Sonic episode I watched that wasn't on VHS... :(

Anyways, really like the box cover ALOT. I at least want this to be the cover of the channel when I download the game.
