The original MegaMan cartoon that never was, sadly -- (Video)
The Ruby-Spears MegaMan production from the early 90’s was certainly one of the better video game inspired cartoons we ever got as kids. And even though it casually crosses the border of “it sucks so bad, it’s good” line when we look back at it now, we still love it for what it’s worth. But did you ever wonder what the original concept of the show looked like? Well, to be honest, much better then what we eventually got! Here and bask in the regret of what never was.

We saw the first glimpse of cross-platform gaming between the PS3 and the Vita back during E3 with a game called Ruin. What that showed off was the ability to start up the game on the PS3, save it and quit, and then load up that same game — along with your save file — on the Vita to play on the go.
