Weirdness: Japanese YouTuber Dresses Up As Mega Man, Powers Up Via Electric Shocks

It's one way to celebrate the Blue Bomber's 25th, we guess

by Damien McFerran Fri 25th Oct 2013

As we all know, Mega Man turns 25 this year. Capcom is doing its bit by re-releasing classic adventures on the Wii U and 3DS Virtual Console services, but what fans really want is an all-new Mega Man outing. They may well be getting it, too — although in the form of Mighty No.9, which is a spiritual successor rather than a sequel. But for some, even that simply may not be good enough.

We won't even begin to pretend we know what is being said in the video below, but we'd like to think this strange ritual is some kind of protest against Capcom not giving Mega Man a proper outing in 2013 to celebrate his quarter-century. However, the reality is that it's probably just a Japanese guy messing about on YouTube for laughs.

Enjoy, but don't enjoy too much.
