Capcom Announces Mega Man VR Experience Coming This Month To Capcom Plaza In Japan

Despite the current setbacks deployed by the ongoing novel coronavirus pandemic – such as limited occupancy and social distancing – attending traditional social gatherings at public locations have become almost something of the past as humanity waits for the illness to blow over. However, as we now enter the second half of 2020, we begin to see segments of pre-virus activities begin to return with new cases beginning to decline around the globe.

With that, companies are eager to satisfy returning customers with new things to find when travelling to their favorite places. One being Capcom Plaza Ikebukuro where the titular game publisher offers fans unique experiences and products based off of properties owned by Capcom such as Monster Hunter and Devil May Cry.

In a new announcement this week, Capcom announces there will be a new Mega Man attraction coming to the location later this month. Revealing Mega Man VR: Targeting Virtual World!!, this will be a unique experience as players can fight against enemies from the universe in the game.

A peaceful virtual reality world where everyone was having fun playing. But Dr. Wily is planning to hack into and conquer that virtual reality world! Equipped with the virtual reality goggles developed by Dr. Light, Mega Man will dive into the virtual reality world and put a stop to Dr. Wily’s evil plans.

In particular, this new virtual reality project will be set during the events of Mega Man 11 – so fans of the recent installment are surely in for a surprise. Other following details regarding the new experience were not spared upon the announcement being made.

Concerned followers regarding the ongoing pandemic and entering social circles in public – there is a work around currently underway for these experiences. According to a report last month, Sega disclosed to be operating on a new cloud-based system to emulate arcade games and experiences of the sort for players to participate from home.
