Charge Your Phone with Replica Rockman X and Rockman 2 Cartridges


Portable phone chargers based on the likeness of Rockman X and Rockman 2 cartridges are on the way, manufacturer Spiderwebs announced. Much like the Rockman 1 replica cartridge charger last year, these two new chargers strive to represent their Super Famicom and Famicom counterparts as close as possible. They even have (non-working) PCB contacts. Spiffy stuff.

For the time being, both chargers will be sold exclusively through Mobile Land. No international shipping is available, but do know that we did eventually see the Rockman 1 charger being sold elsewhere. If you frequent eBay or if you have the resources to bid/purchase from Yahoo! Auctions Japan, you may just find them.

  1. But why? So pointless and random.

    1. Like all Mega Man products, it's intent is to leverage the brand/spread brand awareness.

    2. remember, the most random things done, the more it means that people like the thing.
      For One Piece, they even make toilet paper. the day there will be Megaman toilet paper you'll know the franchise is big enough.

    3. But in a bad, stupid, random, pointless way, apparently. Can't wait for a Megaman-brand spatula and dental floss. They probably already exist. Why is life so fucking dumb?

    4. it is not that bad. the idea is if you want a portable phone charger, you can get one themed after your favorite games. Of course if you did'nt want a portable phone charger to begin with, then you just pass.

  2. Are they chargers for iPhone or Android? I have an Android. D:

  3. With all the extra room in nes cartridges you could probably make one that charges your phone and plays on real hardware.
