Bad Box Art Mega Man, Pac-Man Confirmed For 'Street Fighter X Tekken'


On Jan 27, 2012

 

In the last trailer for Street Fighter X Tekken's PlayStation Vita edition, we got to see the silhouettes of two previously unrevealed characters. Though their identities weren't officially confirmed, both characters are pretty distinctive--with some careful inspection, the gaming public decided that these two mystery fighters were Pac-Man and some version of Mega Man. A new trailer for the crossover fighter confirms that gamers are really good at identifying characters from their shadows. Both guesses were correct, though each comes with a surprise of its own. Pac-Man's in the game, of course, but he enters the ring piloting a towering mecha. As for Mega Man, the version of Capcom's blue bomber appearing in Street Fighter X Tekken may not be the one you expected. Is it classic Mega Man? Mega Man X? Nope, it's the one and only "Bad Box Art" Mega Man, depicted on the original American box art for the first game in the series. From the looks of this trailer, he's just as ungainly as his awkward cover pose might suggest--but he's got spirit. Check it out:

Like the other characters featured in this trailer--Sony's Toro and Kuro cats, inFAMOUS' Cole McGrath, and Pac-Man--the bad box art Mega Man is a Sony exclusive. You'll only be able to take him for a spin in the PS3 and Vita versions of the game. Unfortunately, it's already been announced that the Xbox 360 version of Street Fighter X Tekken won't feature exclusive characters. For Sony owners, though, it looks like it'll be good times with the super fighting... um, portly guy.
