This is a new trailer for Mega Man 2.5D, a new version of the classic Mega Man currently in the works. It’s being built by designer Peter Sjostrand and looks like 15 pounds of amazing.

How to kill buzz: After releasing an excellent retro-remake (say Mega Man 9), offer a poorly-ported version of perhaps the series’ most treasured game. Let’s just look at the basics, here. In porting a game from the original system, you might want to consider whether said system had a joystick or a D-pad, and then use that. I guess Capcom felt this was a better solution. Not to mention this pile has L and R buttons. The NES had A and B, guys. A and B.
What’s your “E” in the morning? Is it liquid? Powder? Just high on life?
If it’s liquid and it comes in a can, maybe you’d be doing everyone (including yourself) a favor by knitting up some Megaman E-tank koozies. You’ll help yourself by keeping your hands warm and dry while your favorite bevarine stays cold and you’ll help those around you by showing them that you’re enjoying an energy-enhancing drink. “Hey, I’m having some me time right now but I’ll be all charged up and with you in a moment. Thanks for understanding.”
It’s not exactly the star treatment I’ve always wanted for the Blue Bomber (budget: zero), but hey, it’s a Mega Man feature film and that’s what we call advancing the human race. To be honest, I’d probably prefer a full-production animation based on the NES sprites, along the lines of Kings of Power 4 Billion %.

Remember the Mega Man Blaster that great dad made for his son’s Halloween costume. Yeah, the entire costume is done now and up on Instructables with DIY instructions. The jump suit and helmet doesn’t look that hard to build, but the Mega Blaster isn’t something you can put together last minute – say, today. Still, it’s never to early too start planning for next years gala.

The title pretty much says it all. There will be a new energy drink on the market in Japan and it’ll be called “Rockman E Can Drink”. Mega Man is known as Rockman in Japan. It’ll cost around $1.25 per can, which is almost 140 Yen.
Now let’s all sit back, relax, and watch this kid play the Tomahawk Man Theme from Mega Man 6 on the piano. That’s some nice work there, young man.

There we go. Was that so hard? Was it so hard to make a totally awesome Mega Man game and then release it on all three consoles at once?
They are doing so many things so right here.
1. Cross-platform love like never before
2. Retro graphics like — before
3. The Blue Bomber
4. Robot dragons
History will look kindly on Mega Man 9, which I’m hoping is going to be every bit as hard and filthy as Mega Man 2, one of my favorite games ever. [via Kotaku]

This Halloween, take some time in between the Reeses and the Snickers to honor old-school gaming. May I suggest popping in a Mega Man 3 cartridge for the NES to honor this beautiful pumpkin? Keep in mind though, just because you have a Mega Man pumpkin, doesn’t mean you’ll make it past Gemini Man.
