While Capcom has seemingly forgotten about the Blue Bomber when it comes to games they still seem to pump out musical releases, which is a good thing, sorta. This time around Capcom is working with Sumthing Else Music Works to release a 19 track album to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of Mega Man. The album entited, MM25: Mega Man Rocks, will feature music from several Mega Man which will be performed by The Megas, X-Hunters, Mega Ran, Bit Brigade, Arm Cannon and Protomen who will also bring to the table a brand new track called “Built to last”.

I predicted this. Capcom will somehow try to make money off of Megaman before Mighty No.9 releases. This is only the beginning. Maybe Half off MM9 & 10 with all DLC? Or maybe MM11? lol Stay tuned!!
