Mega Man’s First Foray into 3D?

Well, not necessarily as far as games go, but here’s a neat piece of merchandise I’ve not come across before. This is a 300 piece 3D puzzle for the game Rockman 6, released back in 1993. By 3D, I mean both the featured artwork is 3D, and the puzzle itself creates a stereoscopic image. The box front seemingly shows both frames used to create the 3D effect. Pretty cool, though I wish they could’ve made a more exciting scene…

Right now this puzzle is being auctioned on Yahoo Auctions and sits at a measly ¥350 (roughly $4.50 US) – a great value IMO, though I can’t attest for its quality. And truthfully, I can’t say with any certainty if this really is the first 3D image of Mega Man, but it’s gotta be close!

    And here I was…thinking they were going to release a 3ds version of this game…
    Oh well…

  3. Heat Man says:

    Mmmmmmmm……. okay, I admit it might be a slight troll.

  4. Aaron says:

    At least it had nothing to do with It that we do not name….Mega Man X7. Whoops…sorry for mentioning that game…

    X7 transfered the X Series in 3D, a terrible game by the way in every point. But a classic Megaman Game in 3D? I don’t know one Game of the Classic Series that is 3D. 2,5D when you count Megaman Powerd Up to the regular timeline. But that’s it.

    And with the luck of Capcom to ruin franchises in the last few years, a Megaman 3D Game would kill the franchise complete. Oh wait, the franchise is dead allready.

    By the way: The poster looks ugly in my eyes.

    Yeah, spotted that on YAJ a few days ago. Seller also has another Rockman puzzle. If anybody was planning on snagging this one, you might as well snag both and save on shipping :D

    @ Adaaification: Poster? Did you read the article?

  11. Adaaification says:

    @Lumine1412

    Yeah, i forgott the Mario Kart Clone *g*

  12. Acrosurge says:

    ^Which was innovative and fun in its balance and battle system, if you’re a fan of the kart genre.

    There is no reason why the Classic Mega Man couldn’t work well in 3D or 2.5D, if given to the proper developers with the proper heart for Mega Man.

    I like how X8 used 2.D, especially in Sigma’s fortress.

  14. Aaron says:

    I mean 2.5D lol
