I remember my brother renting this and bringing it home. I took a look at the box and immediately thought this was going to be hot garbage. Turns out to be a fucking masterpiece.
When Keiji Inafune signed my Mega Man 1 box he laughed and said, “Oh wow, this one!” Then he called someone from his group over to come take a look at it and explained in Japanese it was the US box art and they were like “Really?!” and we all laughed.
On the other hand, when Manami Matsumae signed it, she was just so happy someone recognized her that she offered to sign whatever I handed her. I told her she was just as important to the legacy of the series as someone like Inafune, perhaps more so.
