An iretrogamer 1996 Birthday Surprise, Featuring Mega Man: The Wily Wars

A couple of years ago, we got to experience through the power of vintage videography the moment when a young Mega Man fan named Tyler Esposito received his very own copy of Mega Man 2 for his birthday from his very cool dad.

Recently, Tyler has reached out to share another such experience, this one taking place six years later as he received a true rarity at the time:

“Mega Man: The Wily Wars was one of the greatest surprise gifts I ever received growing up, so it’s awesome to finally get to tell this story,” Tyler says in the video’s comments. “If you have any questions, feel free to ask me here or hit me up on Twitter @TylerEsposito_ Stay positive and stay awesome guys!”

I don’t think I’ve ever received a Mega Man game for my birthday (while I’m sure I’ve gotten some Mega Man stuff, I don’t think a game was one of them), but what about you? Share the tales of your Blue Bomber birthdays in the comments below!
