ロックマン2とマックのコラボは?エアーマンのコーヒー

少し前、Xでロックマンファンに震撼を与えた投稿がありました。

これはどう見てもあの青いヒーローでしょ!
子供のころからの熱狂的オタクである僕と妻は以前のストリートファイター2とのコラボを思い出し、歓喜。

こりゃレトロゲーマーのためのハッピーセットが出るんじゃないか?!」とワケのわからない邪推で大いに盛り上がりました。

何しろこの神ゲーは、幼少時代の代表ともいえる思い出深い作品。
ロックマン2のボスガチャを見つけたときは、我を忘れて買い占めたほど。

でも(妻が)近所のマックに電話で問い合わせても、
「え、ロックマン?コラボ?…いえ、やってませんねぇ」
「何とのコラボですか?ロックマン?はぁ…ロックマン…?」
など、20代前半と思われる店員はおそらく8ビットの神作をプレイしたこともないような反応を見せたのです。

実際にマックに行ってアイスコーヒーを注文。
うん。ロックマンっぽさも何もない、いつでもオーダーできるコーヒー…と見せかけて、ちゃんとエアーマンの味(?)を感じたと信じ込むことにしました。

ちゃっかりソフトアイスの広告詐欺もレビューしてます。笑

よくよく調べてみると、ユーチューブの「エアーマンが倒せない」という曲がバズっていただけという結果に終わりました。

ちなみにその動画はこちら ↓

エアーマン、確かに難しいけど個人的にはクイックマンのステージで苦戦することが多いです。
実際にタイムアタックしてみました!
果たして難なくエアーマンステージをクリアーすることはできるのか?

見ての通り、全然チートしてないよ!笑

ロックマン2は僕の魂に刻み込まれた名作なので、今後も実況などでちょくちょくプレイしていくと思います。

AirMan from MegaMan2 collab with McDonalds teaser went viral on X

Not long ago, a post on X sent shockwaves through the Mega Man fan community — and honestly, we were not ready for it.

I mean, just look at it. That’s clearly our beloved Blue Bomber, right?!

As lifelong, card-carrying Mega Man nerds, my wife and I immediately flashed back to the old Street Fighter 2 collab and completely lost our minds.
We started wildly theorizing — “What if they’re doing a Happy Meal for retro gamers?!” — working ourselves into a full-on hype spiral over what turned out to be absolutely nothing. 😅

To be fair, Mega Man 2 is basically the soundtrack of our childhoods.
This game is sacred to us.
I mean, when I stumbled across Mega Man 2 boss gachapon machines, I bought them out without a second thought.
That’s how deep this runs.

So naturally, my wife called our local McDonald’s to get the scoop.
The results were… humbling, to say the least.

“Uh….a “Mega Man” collab, Ma’am? …Sorry, we’re not doing anything like that.”
“What collab did you say again? Mega? ….Man?”

The poor staff member — clearly in their early twenties — responded with the kind of blank confusion that could only mean one thing: they have never once touched an 8-bit masterpiece in their life.
A tragedy of the highest order.

We went to McDonald’s anyway.
I ordered an iced coffee.

And you know what?
There was absolutely nothing Mega Man 2 about it.
Just a regular coffee you can order any day of the week… or so I told myself.
I decided to believe — truly, deeply believe — that I could taste the essence of Air Man in every sip. ☕

(I also reviewed their soft serve ad while I was at it, because false advertising doesn’t get a free pass around here. 😂)

After some actual research, the mystery was solved: it turned out that the YouTube song “I Can’t Defeat Air Man” had just gone viral again, and that’s all it was.
No collab.
No Happy Meal.
Just the internet doing what the internet does.

For reference, here’s the video that started it all ↓

Now, Air Man is tough — no argument there — but personally?
Quick Man’s stage is where I really suffer.
That laser hallway has claimed more of my lives than I care to admit.

So I decided to put it to the test with a full speed run.
Can I clear Air Man’s stage without breaking a sweat?
Watch and find out!

Huh? What cheaging?

Mega Man 2 is burned into my soul, and I don’t see that changing anytime soon.
Expect plenty more playthroughs and live commentary from me down the road — this game isn’t going anywhere.
