I want a box with that on it... lol
It's so wrong, but it's so... true to the legacy?

RIP bargora, you will be greatly missed.That is how we do things on Giedion Prime.
As humorous as that box art is, it's actually not true to the legacy. I remember the later NES Mega Man games featured a cartoony, proper looking Mega Man on the box:
MobyGames - Mega Man 3 box art
MobyGames - Mega Man 4 box art
MobyGames - Mega Man 5 box art
MobyGames - Mega Man 6 box art

The vibe I'm starting to get from this game is similar to when an old rock band tries to regain it's footing by doing an album that sounds like it's early, more popular and loved material. Often times the outcome is great (Cheap Trick '97) but it's never going to be exactly the same.
Still very excited for this release.
Is that Yoda looming in the background behind Mega Man?
Hmm, I'm actually not too into that. It's somewhat reminiscent of MM1, but that was the black sheep of the NES artworks. All of the others had the cartoon thing going on, so I was kind of hoping for a throwback to that style.
They're taking the "old school" theme a little too far it seems. It's certainly a funny bit of irony which I'm sure is what they were going for but the problem is that there were far more "legit" box arts in Mega Man when compared to the first two black sheep. So the joke feels a little flat since a "real" new NES Mega Man would have art more akin to Mega Man 5 or 6.

Ha, that's awesome. I love it.
It's just a gag. Besides, it's nothing official. Something only for Capcom employees.
it's a cross of yoda and darth vader ha!

See also the Mega Man movie standees in Dead Rising. It's just Capcom having some fun. I find it hilarious, personally.
If anybody sees those shirts on eBay, PLEASE ALERT ME!
I would pimp one of those shirts proudly. Believe it.
There's so many layers of awesome and win in that, I can't even begin to cover it.

I'll agree with the general sentiment. The cover kicks ass.

Gah, nothing on eBay yet. This is the closest thing I can find:
My Wii will definetly be getting some love when this get's released!

I Just looked at the stuff on GameTrailers, and here's what I noticed:
-The story seems to be that Wily's in jail (as seen at the end of MM8), but robots go haywire, prompting Mega Man to action. However, I'm a tad confused, because Dr. Light gets the blame, but Wily is seen giving out his Swiss bank account number (implying that Wily is extorting the world's leaders).
-The news anchor during the story sequence is Chun Li!
-The Mettools have "devolved" into their basic Mega Man 1 selves.
-The ever-annoying low-to-the-ground robots are also the versions from the first game.
-With the exception of the Energy increase sound, all of the physics and sounds appear to adhere to those of the later NES games (3+).
-The menus seem to purposely lack the boss names or their usual mug shots.
The graphics are pretty good for a Wii game.
