From the Canada Nintendo Examiner:

From The Mega Man Network:

Aero is named Aero – A universal name puts the “Unity” in “Capcom Unity.” Or something.

Does Capcom Really Want You to Buy These Games? – Remember back in the day, when reels of poorly-assembled video would run in video game stores and rental outlets? Relive those memories, then thank whoever you prefer for today’s more polished trailers.
