http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2013/05/megaman.jpg (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/05/01/capcom-encases-3ds-3ds-xl-in-vintage-mega-man-look/)Capcom has taken part in an ongoing observation of Mega Man's 25th anniversary with statues (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/03/29/mega-man-25th-anniversary-statue-up-for-pre-order/), soundtrack releases (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/04/06/mega-man-1-ost-now-available-digitally-through-capcom/), USB drives (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/03/01/arm-your-computer-with-mega-buster-usb-drive/), and even anofficially promoted fan game (http://www.joystiq.com/2012/12/08/street-fighter-x-mega-man-is-a-free-pc-8-bit-crossover-availabl/). As we stretch into year two of the 25th anniversary celebration, Capcom is producing a Mega Man-themed case for 3DS and 3DS XL.
At first blush, outfitting a 3DS in Mega Man garb seems like a cruel tease, after the death of Mega Man Legends 3. But Capcom is releasing all of the NES Mega Mans on the handheld's Virtual Console (it's up to 4 now (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/04/25/new-nintendo-eshop-releases-rayman-legends-challenges-mega-man/?icid=joystiq_3ds_art)), making an NES-style Mega Man motif appropriate.
The case will be on sale at Comic-Con, as well as at Capcom's online store.
