Capcom and iam8bit are at it again, with new physical versions of Mega Man 2 and Mega Man X being reprinted on cartridge later this year.
Both will be priced at $100 each and will be limited to 8,500 units. These will come with deluxe packaging and “premium” instruction booklets, while the cartridge “houses the original game code on a brand new PCB board and are fully playable on NTSC consoles.”
These cartridges can be purchased in two colors: the standard opaque light blue and a smaller batch (1,000 of each) of translucent, glow-in-the-dark blue. The cartridges will be “randomly inserted into sealed, unmarked boxes”.
