Next Up For Mega Man? His Own Board Game
Mega Man is going to be starring in his own off-screen adventure, thanks to a board game from Jasco Games. The project is in development, and the makers are planning to launch a Kickstarter campaign to help keep things moving.
Rockman Corner had news of the game a while back, when a prototype of the officially licensed game was shown at Gencon – including early sculpts of the Mega Man and Cut Man figures. The game is played with cards, and players have to complete levels representing each of the Robot Masters from Mega Man 1.
Jasco has since updated its Facebook page, saying that Mega Man the Board Game was coming soon to Kickstarter. We'll let you know when the project does make an appearance on the crowdfunding site.
