Wow. Just wow. Capcom needs to hire this guy ASAP.

[skaar]

I would buy that on XBLA in a heartbeat.

[Sonicwolf]

Just watch Capcom shut that thing down for some copyright reason.

Agreed that it's cool and all but it always slightly annoys me that people go crazy over concepts like this. Essentially this is the type of presentation that the Virtual Boy was created for, yet everyone loves to piss on game design for that platform.

It kind of reminds me of Sonic X-Treme without the fisheye camera BS.

Most of the negative comments I've read about the Virtual Boy have to do with the headache-inducing system design and its lack of color. The games themselves are usually reviewed favorably.

Yeah, the games on Virtual Boy are really decent, and make good use of the hardware capabilities for what kind of games they are. It's just that red-black screen and poor "handheld" design that makes the Virtual Boy such a hard to play system.

The virtual boy needs a strap attached to it so you can keep it on your head.

I wonder how hard it would be to swap the red LEDs in VB for something more bearable, like amber or white.

[maxlords]

Damn...I would be ALL over that Mega Man. Capcom NEEDS this.

Imagine a Super Mario Bros. 3 remake like this...

[BHvrd]

Perfection.

[TonyTheTiger]

If you look at Capcom-Unity, the publisher appears more than happy to give this guy props.

[Superman]

I'm not into remakes, but this is more than a remake. It adds more dimensions and more challenges.

It looks nice and certainly something I would be interested in.

[Cryomancer]

That 2-player mode is really, really cool looking.

[Oobgarm]

[Nirvana]

That seriously looks amazing.

[kainemaxwell]

Amazing, this needs to happen.

[BetaWolf47]

Man, some fangame makers have some serious talent!

[thegardentool]

I'm just amused at how some companies seem to think fan remakes are a great thing while others threaten legal action every time one comes close to release.

Ah well I'll give mad props to Capcom for doing a lot of positive things this year including one nobody thought would happen, rereleasing Marvel vs. Capcom 2. Not only that I am really looking forward to Dead Rising 2 and some other Capcom titles.

Didn't somebody already post a link to this a few months ago? Just wondering, because it's awfully familiar...
