Virtually Free: Mega Man 9

by David Hinkle { Sep 23rd 2008 at 9:00AM }

What is this? Could we be doing what you think we're doing? Oh yeah, baby, we totally are. We're giving one lucky Wii Fanboy reader a free copy of Capcom's retro-revival, Mega Man 9 ($10). It's too good of a game to keep to ourselves, so we reached deep down into the Wii Fanboy coffers (it's just a coffee can under our bed, but you get the idea) and sprung for enough points to gift the game out. How do you enter for your chance at the game?

To enter, just leave a comment here (with a valid e-mail address!) and tell us what your favorite Mega Man boxart is (hit up the gallery below if you missed this). There's a catch, though. You must be a current and legal resident of the United States with an American Wii (sorry, Canadians, we have to leave you out of this one; blame the gifting system and not us!) and 18 years of age or older. You may enter once per day between now and Sunday, September 28th at 11:59pm ET. The contest comes to a close that night and we'll select a winner via random drawing the next day. Questions? Check out the official rules.

Oh man, maybe i should of waited to enter in this contest a little bit later. The first couple of people never get picked. -_-;
...Please pick me!!XD

Definitely the original boxart, its just utterly wrong.

ShampooPrincess @ Sep 23rd 2008 9:04AM

The first is still the best. I remember buying the game and then being relieved that Mega Man did not resemble the strange looking older man on the box.

Knema007 @ Sep 23rd 2008 9:08AM

Yep, definitely the first. Could they have been more off?

Mr_oHH @ Sep 23rd 2008 9:09AM

Any MegaMan Europe pre-4. Those were some pretty badass covers

TheOverlord#2 (Playing: SMRPG, SMG, & MM2) @ Sep 23rd 2008 9:11AM

Mega Man 1, of course! I like all the japanese boxarts with the anime Mega Man and robot masters, but the original US MM boxart is too hilarious,

Sterno @ Sep 23rd 2008 9:16AM

I have to go with Mega Man 1 as well...

deivid @ Sep 23rd 2008 9:18AM

Is there ANY way for me to download ROCKMAN 9 instead of Mega Man 9??

Thank you!

Chuck @ Sep 23rd 2008 9:19AM

I like the European Mega Man 2 box art the best since it's nothing close to the sprites used in the game.

Eric @ Sep 23rd 2008 9:24AM

I have to go with Mega Man 3 since it was the first one I had for the NES...

ryan @ Sep 23rd 2008 9:27AM

The first one, for sure.

Brandisis @ Sep 23rd 2008 9:30AM

The first one because I can actually remember seeing it on the shelves in stores when it came out.

chris @ Sep 23rd 2008 9:32AM

definitely the first. it reminds me of a crappy romance novel cover. is that fabio in the background?

psinomad @ Sep 23rd 2008 9:32AM

Mega Man 3 (Europe)! Who's that creepy guy in the background?!!?

Eyelesswolf @ Sep 24th 2008 4:57PM

i gotta say Mega Man 3 (Europe) just got to love the way Wily looks in that one

Mark Sypniewski @ Sep 23rd 2008 9:32AM

Rocketman 4

madgamer @ Sep 23rd 2008 9:32AM

The new Megaman 9 art is pretty awesome.

ÆNIGMA @ Sep 23rd 2008 9:34AM

Mega Man 1 (showing off his mega squatting ability), it's just so wrong.

bhengh @ Sep 23rd 2008 9:36AM

Original Megaman: Europe.

TrueNRPeace @ Sep 23rd 2008 9:38AM

Have to go with Mega Man 9 - the intentional totally wrong retro look is awesome!

Alex @ Sep 23rd 2008 9:39AM

I like the European cover for Megaman 1 :)

Randy @ Sep 23rd 2008 9:39AM

Megaman 2 has the best boxart. That's actually the First Megaman Game I ever played.

Metal_Link @ Sep 23rd 2008 9:42AM

I'm actually going to pick Europe's original Mega Man art work. To me, this is funnier than the American one. Who doesn't like low-budget kung fu-style artwork?

Kwad @ Sep 23rd 2008 9:47AM

The European Mega Man 1 box is amazing

bombtrak @ Sep 23rd 2008 9:50AM

Mega Man 1. I remember seeing it on the shelf at Video Kingdom as a kid and thinking "what....the....fu....." and then taking it home and having a ton of fun with it....until Wily's level. Argh!

BobTheElephant @ Sep 23rd 2008 9:51AM

Mega Man 5 (Playstation, Japan) would be my pick

davemaster @ Sep 23rd 2008 9:53AM

mega man 3, with the guy from back to the future overlooking the mega crew.

Fri @ Sep 23rd 2008 9:53AM

The first Mega Man box is my favorite. It looks perfect for a poster in any fake wood paneled basement rec room.

wayne @ Sep 23rd 2008 9:55AM

definitly the cover to mega man 6. i dont know why i just liked the rush adapters i guess and him flying with it.

acefondu @ Sep 23rd 2008 9:56AM

Mega Man 6

chad @ Sep 23rd 2008 9:57AM

nordlead @ Sep 23rd 2008 9:59AM

Mega Man 3 (PS, Japan)

BigTrevor @ Sep 23rd 2008 10:00AM

megaman 1 if definitely my favorite

Kenji @ Sep 23rd 2008 10:04AM

The inclusion of the Fruit Friend on the MM9 box is just too funny.

mechevar21 @ Sep 23rd 2008 10:04AM

The Japanese Playstation Mega Man 2 cover art. Though Mega Man's smiling face is a bit odd, the way the robot masters are drawn is simply awesome (heatman, flashman....very cool).

BTW, I already downloaded Mega Man 9. I just wanted to post a response :)
