The Mega Man revival of 2018 knows no bounds

Pachislot licensing is a lucrative business in Japan — just ask Sega or any number of other publishers who make tons of bank from it every year. In addition to recent newCastlevania, Bayonetta, andMetal Gearmachines Capcom has now stepped up to the plate to lendMega Man.

Using new art and highlighting Mega Man and Proto Man among several others, it hearkens back to theMega Man EXEera and I have to say — I don’t hate the art. Maybe it’ll make it into a cross-media project at some point. Either way we have plenty of Mega Man art styles to judge this year givenMega Man 11‘s changes and the contentiousFully Chargedshow alterations.
