Need more Mega Man 2 in your life? Look no further, friend. Capcom has teamed up with My Play Watch to release an official digital gaming watch that includes a "reimagined" version of Mega Man 2 adapted for one-hand play.
The watch includes a few different ways to play. Classic Mode lets you pick from multiple Robot Master stages, take down bosses, etc. Arcade Mode strings stages together with increasing speed and difficulty, with a scoring system as the main hook. There’s also Play Time Mode, which is less “game” and more animated Mega Man watch faces, complete with pixel art and themed displays.
Beyond Mega Man 2, it does the usual digital watch things too: time keeping, step tracking, heart rate monitoring, and calories. There’s no Bluetooth, no Wi-Fi, no notifications, and no apps so if you're looking to replace your smartwatch with this, maybe don't.
The watch is currently available to pre-order exclusively from GameStop for $79.99. It's expected to ship on June 16th.
...As always, it has to be Mega Man 2. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteWho asked for this?
ReplyDeleteAs vapid as this is, I wanna say this kinda normie/influencer/whale stuff is a decent sign of brand health/confidence.
ReplyDeleteSo uh, there’s that…
Uh... okay, I guess? Buying this to play the built-in game (however they're going to make it "playable" on this watch) is already a stupid idea, but even more stupid was the suit-wearing guy who came up with it.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing you cant own on a phone with that is the strap. 😅
ReplyDeleteA useless wrist watch that doubles as a shitty way to play Mega Man 2? Where have I seen that before?
ReplyDeleteDo you think you can report about Viral Nightmare? Batch 2 with Zero just released
