Mega Man: Dual Override Tokyo Game Show Livestream is Back On

Tokyo Game Show 2026 may be cutting its final day short due to the approaching Typhoon No. 25, but Capcom's Mega Man: Dual Override stage presentation will still go ahead.

Capcom has announced that its TGS 2026 Stage Live Day 3 program will continue in a livestream-only format without a live audience. The Dual Override segment is scheduled to begin at 10:30 AM JST on September 21 (8:30 PM CDT on September 20), featuring  series producer Shingo Izumi, guest Akira Nibu and Rockman Unity administrator Ucchy.

So while there won't be a physical stage at TGS on Monday, the 50-minute Dual Override presentation we were expecting is, for now, still happening online. You can watch it live from the video above!

Mega Man: Dual Override Devs Talk Proto Man, Share New Details

Famitsu and 4Gamer had the chance to sit down and chat all things Dual Override with producer Hiroyuki Minamitani, director Shinya Ikuta, and art directors Yuji Ishihara and Shinsuke Komaki. Chief among the topics discussed was Proto Man, whose gameplay demo, while not available to the public, was shown privately to the press. 

Between the two interviews, a handful of new and interesting details came to light, which I've summarized below!

Mega Man Adventures #0 and Mega Man: Gear Masters #4 Covers, Solicitation

We've got a double dose of comic book updates today as Lunar Distribution has just posted the covers and solicitation for Mega Man Adventures #0 (aka Chapter 56 in Archie Comics numbering) and Mega Man: Gear Masters #4.

Mega Man: Dual Override Proto Man Play Report + New Screenshots

Tokyo Game Show is underway, and select Japanese press got to go hands-on with Proto Man in Twinkle Girl's stage. While it's unclear if he'll be playable in the public show floor demo, these press sessions offered a much deeper look at how he plays.

There's certainly no shortage of Mega Man: Dual Override collaborations and partnerships, and this one certainly falls under the more unusual.

Another Look at Proto Man's Close-Range Attacks in Dual Override

Capcom's Tokyo Game Show Spotlight has come and gone, and there really wasn't too much in the way of Dual Override updates. Director Shinya Ikuta and producer Hiroyuki Minamitani took center stage to talk a little more about what we've already come to learn about the game. Mixed in with some familiar footage, though, were a few new snippets of Proto Man gameplay. You can watch that portion here.

According to Minamitani, compared to Mega Man, Proto Man deals more damage and focuses more on close-range attacks. His Buster shots have limited range, while charging his weapon allows him to unleash a sweeping blade attack.

Other than that, no major new details were revealed during the Spotlight. However, we may learn more during the game's 50-minute stage event on September 21st.

Pragmata x Mega Man DLC Pack Coming September 17

The previously announced Mega Man DLC for Pragmata is coming soon — very soon. The free DLC will be available starting tomorrow, September 17.

We’ve already seen the Mega Man-inspired costumes for Diana and Hugh, but as revealed during the Capcom Tokyo Game Show Spotlight, the pack will also include skins that recreate Mega Man and Roll as we know them.

The pack will also include new music that can be played in the Shelter, as well as Mega Man-inspired gestures for Diana and Cabin.

Mega Man X: Command Mission Now Available on PS4 and PS5

Mega Man X: Command Mission, the 2004 RPG that has never been re-released in any official capacity, is now available for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 for $9.99, or at no additional cost for PlayStation Plus Premium members.

It goes without saying, but this is the PlayStation 2 version of the game, which means the then-console-exclusive Mega Man X8 demo is still intact. As a PS Classic, it does feature a few modern touches, namely upscaled resolution, faster load times and Remote Play. It does not, however, include Trophies. 

For non-PlayStation owners, all we can do for now is hope the game eventually makes its way to other platforms. Capcom has previously expressed interest in re-releasing more titles that aren't available on modern hardware, though for the time being, all efforts appear to be focused on Mega Man: Dual Override.

Pragmata x Mega Man Collaboration Goods Revealed

On the heels of yesterday's Diana and Mega Man artwork, Capcom has unveiled a full lineup of Pragmata x Mega Man goods just in time for Tokyo Game Show. The collection includes an acrylic standee, keychains, coasters, a pin badge, a metallic file and a clear file set.

For now, the collection appears to be exclusive to E-Capcom, though that could change. If it stays that way, international buyers will need to order through ZenMarket, E-Capcom's preferred proxy service.

There's also a good chance some of these items will eventually make their way to stores like Play-Asia, so it may be worth keeping an eye out if you'd rather avoid using a proxy service.

Mega Man: Dual Override Playable Demo Coming to Los Angeles (September 19-20)

Live in or close to Little Tokyo, Los Angeles? Good news: you'll soon have a chance to play Dual Override.

Capcom’s first-ever U.S. pop-up opens at Little Akihabara this weekend, with Dual Override playable on September 19 and 20. This will be the game’s first public demo in the states, though Capcom says participation will be extremely limited.

While the demo will only be up for two days, the pop-up store itself runs through October 18. There will be all kinds of Mega Man goods on sale, as well as life-size statues of Mega Man (and other Capco characters) for photo ops.

The pop-up shop will be open daily from 12:00 PM to 7:00 PM at Little Akihabara Popup Shop & Live (319 E 2nd St. #122, Los Angeles, CA 90012).

Capcom Shares Official Pragmata x Mega Man Art (Updated)

The official Pragmata Twitter account shared a new piece of artwork featuring Diana and Mega Man, continuing what has become a running joke at Capcom.

Illustrated by Yuji Ishihara, the piece depicts Diana in a Mega Man-inspired pose, with the accompanying caption reading, “I tried getting a little closer to the Mega Man style! What do you think?” UPDATE: there's now a second piece! 

The long-running gag that Pragmata was secretly a Mega Man game started as a fan theory a few years ago and has since been embraced by Capcom, complete with an in-game Easter egg and upcoming DLC costumes based on Mega Man and Roll. 

Needless to say, Capcom seems more than happy to keep the mutual love between the two series going!

The Real Names of X's First Four Armors

There are several things in the Mega Man X series that have gone unanswered for decades: What happened to the Classic cast? What happened to Vile Mk-III and IV? Why can General be 7 feet tall in one scene and 50 feet tall the next? The list goes on and on.

Among these mysteries, none is more prevalent than the names of the Armor sets in the first four Mega Man X games. Light or First? Giga or Second? MAX or Third? Force or Fourth? Maybe they’re all the Full Armor? What about Tune-Up Parts? As you can see, it’s become quite a mess over the years.

In the video above, I’ve done my best to get to the bottom of where most of these names came from and which ones fit the story best, so I hope you’ll check it out. Just remember, almost every name is technically right in one way or another (well, except for Giga), so let’s keep it civil.

And a big thank you to Protodude for giving me the chance to share this one on Rockman Corner. I hope you enjoy!
