It was the original box art. I used to have Mega Man 2 when it first came out too.

Odd. I think that’s the label I remember on the cartridge too, but I just never noticed the pistol. It definitely doesn’t look like that in-game. I played 4 the most because I loved the weapons, so maybe I just missed it entirely.

I think the first 3 were like this, i had 3 and it was similar. 4 was the first one I saw where Megaman actually looked right

3 was the first to have an accurate rendition of ole Blue

I think 3 actually had a mega buster. I never had the nes game, but I had a tiger MegaMan 3 game that shared the same artwork.
