Mega Man And Shenmue Animated Short Crossover Offers A Real Conclusion For Ryo
Animator Peter Sjöstrand recently released a new video that mashes up Mega Man and Shenmue in unexpected ways.
You'll see a Mega-fied versions of Ryo and his enemy, Lan Di duke it out, as well as special soccer and forklift abilities, and capsule toy miniboss. Sjöstrand said he put together the short to help raise awareness for the Shenmue 3 Kickstarter, which is currently sitting at the $4.7 million mark with five days to go. You can check out the full short below.
If you're unfamiliar with Shenmue, or want to know what the big deal is, you can watch myself and Reiner play through the game's first hour here.
