Mega Man 9 NES Box of Awesome

This is the coolest thing I've seen this year. When the first official trailer for Mega Man 9 debuted, I though it would be great if Capcom actually released the game on a NES cartridge. Well, Capcom did. Kind of. They made an NES-style box that contains a Mega Man 9 cartridge. Since making a real NES cart would be way too much of a hassle, they have a CD with some game info, artwork, and screenshots. A few of these were sent to their "friends of the press." Well, since I'm just a small guy in the world of gaming press, I'm pretty sure I won't get one. However, they will be selling a very limited number on the Capcom store. How limited? Only 200. Only 200? Surely Capcom sees how much love that Mega Man 9 is receiving and will produce more than a mere 200 of these. They will come with a voucher code for the PSN or XBLA version of the game, which is cool, but if they only have so many codes just sell the box and cartridge without it. Please make more of these Capcom, the gaming world begs you.

This would look amazing next to my NES Mega Man games.

It's okay to cry when you come to terms that you will never own one of these.
