You got... Silly Hat!

I am a sucker for good packaging. I know, I know, it's what's inside that counts. But as I progress through my Graphic Design journey I continue to be more and more impressed with the way artists can devise such cool packaging for products. There are quite a bit of good examples for great packaging, but while I'm on a little video game fix I figured I would share this with you guys. Here is some sweet retro packaging for the recently released MegaMan 9 game from Capcom:

I love the fact that this game release is a completely retro incarnation. This is not a remake. This is not just one of the old Mega Man classics like Mega Man 3 re-released. This is a brand new game with the 8-bit difficulty and goodness intact. I think it's cool that even though this game was released download only (for the Wii, Xbox 360, and PSN), CAPCOM went to some great lengths to make some sweet packaging. Unfortunately, it's not available to the public. Nonetheless, do you dig it as much I do?
