First Look at Kotobukiya MegaMan.EXE Box Art

Now that Kotobukiya's long-awaited MegaMan.EXE model kit is finally rolling out, we have our first real look at the box art. I mean, just look at that guy up there. The pose, shadows and colors - the smile! It's so good to see this fella again. This is a real winner.

If you pre-ordered the kit a while back, keep your eyes peeled to your mailbox. Yours should be arriving shortly. Any day between now and early October. 

Speaking of October, Dark MegaMan.EXE is just around the corner. He's expected to drop sometime in October. Pre-orders are still available from most online retailers... like our affiliate HobbyLinkJapan!

Capcom Ends Mega Man Powered Up Online Service After 16 Years

We have to step off the Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection hype train for a bit for some not-so-good news. Capcom delivered a surprising, but unfortunate update about Mega Man Powered Up; an underrated gem that didn't exactly sell well in its day but did plenty right.

Direct-Feed Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection Gameplay

This year's Tokyo Game Show has come and gone, but we're not exactly through with Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection coverage. IGN Japan recently posted direct-feed footage of the TGS demo, which covers select portions of Battle Network 1~3. 

There isn't too much going on here we haven't seen already - it's just nice to see (and hear) things directly. We do, however, get a much better look at the first three games' remastered title screens. The dev team even went so far as to reanimate the bits of scrolling code. Hey, it's the small things! 

As previously reported, more Battle Network Legacy Collection updates are coming during a "future presentation". Whether that means another Capcom Digital Showcase or - you never know - a Mega Man-specific showcase, remains to be seen. We'll keep ya posted.

Notes From Eguchi's Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection Interview

Read on for the lowdown!

17 Minutes of Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection Footage

Straight from the Tokyo Game Show 2022 showroom floor, Tsuwahasu brings us some excellent footage of Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection in action.

We get a closer look at the 3D MegaMan.EXE (voiced by Akiko Kimura in the Japanese version) performing different actions, a peak at the brand-new hi-resolution title screens, and different option menus. Tsuwahasu also shows off the different optional wallpapers including some we haven't seen before. There's a new option to adjust in-game text size and toggle music/sound effects individually as well. This feature hasn't appeared in any previous Legacy Collection, let alone any Battle Network title.

Naturally, online functionality was not available so the "Communication" option from in-game menus is blanked out. As previously reported, every game in the collection will feature online NetBattles and trades nevertheless.

More updates soon!

Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection Won't Support Cross-Play or Cross-Saves

Now that online NetBattles and trades have been confirmed (yay!), fans were quick to wonder if Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection will support cross-platform compatibility. Unfortunately, that appears to be a no-go.

Mega Man: The Power Battle and Mets Slated to Appear in Street Fighter 6

It's not unusual for Mega Man and Street Fighter to cross streams. It's a tried and true tradition. But with Street Fighter 6, we'll be treated to something a little different....

Online Battles + Trading Confirmed for Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection

Capcom provided a very small update on Mega Man battle Network Legacy Collection today during the Tokyo Game Show 2022 showcase. Masakazu Eguchi (aka Mr. Famous) made an appearance to confirm that the development team are hard at work implementing online features into "every series". This includes both online battles and the ability to trade Battle Chips. More details will be shared in a future presentation.

The other bit of news is sure to put a smile on any Battle Network fan's face. A fully-voiced, 3D MegaMan.EXE will serve as the collection's navigator from the title selection screen. He'll have various reactions based on your play and control style. The cherry on top? Andrew Francis is back; reprising his role as MegaMan.EXE from Mega Man NT Warrior!

That's about it for now. Stay tuned for further updates.
