Dear Capcom: Please make Mega Man look like this in his next two-dimensional platformer

This is, without a doubt, the cutest Mega Man plush I have ever seen. Actually, it may be the cutest gaming-related plush I've ever seen, period--although these Metroid plushes are pretty darn precious, too.



Anyway, back to the adorable Mega Man plush above: It was made by Michele Legendre (aka deadly_sweet on Flickr and misscoffee on deviantART) for an upcoming gaming-themed show at Santa Monica, Calif.-based Gallery 1988.

Somewhat-silly aside to the creative folks at Capcom: Please use Legendre's plush as inspiration for your next side-scrolling Mega Man game. (Think Kirby's Epic Yarn.)

I'd play a Mega Man game in that style.

Really, more games should be made in such a style, IMO. A top-down, old-school Zelda made with fabric and yarn -- or out of paper, a la Paper Mario -- would completely rock my world, for instance :)

That fireball is adorably epic.

Isn't it, Justin? Also, his little mouth -- with just three teeth and a worm-like tongue -- is so cute I could barf.

Seriously, someone *has* to commission this woman to work on the next Mega Man game!

That is awesome and I agree it would be hilarious (and amazing) to see a video game with these in it.

Love the use of that fluffy thing to indicate the....whatever it is that Mega Man is shooting out of his gun thing there.

Bryan Ochalla said...

Ha! I love your use of technical language to describe the, er, thing that was used to represent one of Mega Man's, uh, bullets (?). Actually, I don't know what the hell it is either. Some kind of puff ball??

Sean said...

Yes, I believe that "puff ball" is the correct technical term.

Bryan Ochalla said...

We'll just go with that, right, Sean? Ha!
