So Im sure most of you remember this from a while back.

Well Boston America, the company who makes most of the energy drinks and mushrooms you see in stores like spencers, is bringing it here.

However, they completely missed the whole point of the design, and why people wanted it in the first place.

Megaman is NOT amused.

 Most of the Megaman fan community I know is very upset at this. Seriously, Im not buying this from them if its not an actual E-can, Ill take my risks and import it from Japan.

CAPCOM! PLEASE DO SOMETHING! ANYTHING!

Actually, update. I emailed Boston America on the matter, and they responded with this...

Thanks so much for your input and I do understand your concern. However please note that Boston America’s first concept for the drink WAS the same version that was produced in  Japan , however Capcom rejected the design and asked us to move forward with the 8-bit concept we currently have available. We were disappointed too!

 

Thanks again for letting us know your thoughts!

I cant believe you Capcom... WTF is WRONG with you?

Thats the price for buying a whole case of 24. they are 2.99 individually.

I sent them an inquiry about it.

Low let see what THEY have to say about it. I swear if they come out with some **** about a blank blue can with only an "E" not being able to sell to little kids, Im going to ragequit the forum...  In a fit of RAAAAAGE.

lol.  I like the new can.  I get why you guys are mad, but maybe they'll come out with special editions once the drink has garnered a following.  I think the 8-bit Megaman is more recognizable than the E tank anyway, and will probably lead to better sales.

I always thought the E tank should be a tank, and not a can anyway.  Maybe they're saving the E-tank design for the Drum/Keg version they're going to sell through SAM's club.

Nothing is wrong with the new design as a stand alonde design, but the deal is, you know very well they will never make any "special" editions, unless we the fans make a big deal out of it. then maybe Capcom will give Boston the go ahead on it. Remember, they REJECTED the E can design that Boston was going to use.

But the thing is, that Youd think they could very well do both. have the E can, with Megaman on the back of it. Its very doable. Or do both versions.
