Series high-water marks Mega Man 2 and Mega Man X are getting new releases on cartridges. The carts work on the original hardware or on any of the numerous devices designed to play original cartridge games on modern television sets.Similar to the last iam8bit/Capcom collaboration on Street Fighter II special edition cartridges , these carts come in two different colors. There are 7,500 "Opaque Light Blue" carts per game for Mega Man 2, 7,500 Opaque White for Mega Man X, and the "Translucent, Glow-in-the-Dark Blue" ones are limited to a mere 1,000 each.There's no way to know which cartridge you have without opening the box. They're randomly inserted and distributed, so it's a roll of the dice.Inside each box you'll find newly updated, special-edition instruction manuals and "retro pack-in surprises." The boxes have all the fancy box checkboxes ticked off: "foil, gloss and embossments." That's a step-up from the original boxes featuring zero embossments.You can pre-order the carts today on the iam8bit website, with an expected ship date of September 2018.
