Well don’t they just grow up so fast, the Blue Bomber is turning 20 years old and to celebrate it Keiji Inafune will be in NYC signing autographs.
The session will take place on Tuesday, August 7th, 2007, at the GameStop located on Broadway and 33rd in New York City. Keiji Inafune himself will be on-hand from 5pm to 8pm, ready to sign some limited quantity Mega Man retro-themed t-shirts, special posters, your baby’s forehead, or anything else you got.
Also Capcom is reporting that there will be a rumor that Mega Man will makeing an appearance to celebrate his B-day! Now why can’t anything like this happen in Texas.
