Capcom is celebrating Mega Man’s 25th anniversary with a special 3DS case. While it isn’t available just yet, series followers can expect it to hit the company’s online store in the near future. A selection of stock will also be brought along to the San Diego Comic-Con.

The front of the case features an 8-bit Mega Man image. The back, on the other hand, incorporates the series’ 25th anniversary logo.

Capcom plans to offer the case for the standard 3DS model as well as the 3DS XL system.
