Glad that I wasn't the only one who didn't think that boxart Mega Man looked like he was in constant physical pain.

[Dzuno]

Can't imagine how Protoman, Roll & Bass would look like if they went through that same process as Mega Man

[Calico]

Poor badly designed Mega Man, he just wanted his father's love.

[zorn]

And this is why you make sure the team who designs your box art knows what the character is supposed to look like... 😆

[Maswartz]

"What bones? YOU ARE A ROBOT!"

It really is baffling that sonehow soneone in the 80s/early 90s thought "hey! Let'a depict our hero as a awkward middle aged man in a blue and yellow losesly fitting in some places, some sort of unitard" and also thought "yep and kids will love it"

Instead of easily just drawing their protagonist in a cartoon accurate way

[commandervulkan]

Protoman's origin story is truly magical

[MasterJunior]

Everyone take a drink every time Mega Man shouts "FATHER!"

dr light is a bad father.
goku: hold my beer

I wasn't ready to feel sad about megaman box art tonight

[geardog]

Dr. Light: I shall call him *Retro 80's Man!*

Fun little trivia bit. The game didn't really have a cover when it was supposed to be shipped to the states, so one of the higher ups called his friend and said he needed a cover by morning. The guy apparently gave a brief discription of what megaman was supposed to look like and then...thats what we got after the artist spent a night working on it.

[JTG]

A brief summary of what Capcom did to Mega Man (before Mega Man 11).

[panelvixen]

Is it me or is Dr Light not wearing any pants?

Oh my god thats it, Mega Man is the Mirror Universe of the Strike Witches!

[MalzraAirwynn]

The American boxart for some games could get wild lol. The original japanese box art is much closer to the in game style.

[lisash]

Dr. Wily's Robot Masters sees Mega Man's worst design

Crash Man: whoa! Mega Man looks horrible,

Flash Man: his bones are actually broken.

[GT-Rev]

Glad to see Dorkly's still got it!

[FIRO]

This was a hilarious video. Dr. Light's reaction after Mega Man's transformation was too funny. I love this channel so much!

[BlueLegion]

That's not his first design, that's more of an artists interpretation of a vague, badly translated description of his first design

[KTChamberlain]

In an age before Ugly GCI Sonic, there was ugly box art Mega Man.
