Designer Enzo Volante, who made the Assassin's Creed III Hoodies, has now moved on to a new video game for inspiration: MegaMan.

The sleek light blue and dark blue jacket mimics the video game icon with a removable hood and bright yellow side-sleeve zippers to resemble the hero's suit. Once you zip one on, you'll look and feel like a [video game hero](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timberland-x-sonic). The jacket comes in both men and women's cuts. Unfortunately, the jackets won't be made unless there are enough pre-orders by March 31st.

This is the ideal gift for a [gamer geek](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hallmark-1) and MegaMan fan. It's also a great easy to wear [cosplay idea for conventions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bethesda-pipboy-3000-replica). So don't let this gorgeous garment go unmade. Get yours before time runs out.
