Kotobukiya MM11 Scramble Thunder & Pile Drive Kits Due in June


In November last year, Kotobukiya suspended reservations for Mega Man 11 Scramble Thunder and Pile Driver kits due to  nonspecific "unforeseen circumstances." However, today, reservations have reopened on Kotobukiya's online store, with a scheduled release date set for June.

Reservations should be opening up at other stores soon, such as Big Bad Toystore, HobbyLink Japan, etc. 

Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection Sales Top 1.60 Million

Tucked away in Capcom's Q3 FY2024 supplemental materials, it’s confirmed that Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection has sold 1.60 million units (up 200,000 units from previous report). This figure represents the combined sales of Volume 1 and Volume 2 across all platforms. However, since neither volume individually reached one million units, the collection is not included in Capcom's Platinum Titles list.

Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection currently holds the record as the fastest-selling game in the franchise, surpassing one million units within its first two weeks. Released in April 2023, the game is on track to become one of the series' best-selling entries. At this pace, it’s not hard to imagine it matching or surpassing Mega Man 11's 2 million units, a milestone that took seven years to reach.

Mega Man 11 Sales Top 2 Million, Highest Selling Game in the Franchise

Capcom updated their Platinum Titles list today, confirming that Mega Man 11 has sold 2 million units worldwide as of December 31, 2024. This makes it the best-selling game in the franchise, surpassing Mega Man Legacy Collection (1.60M) and Mega Man 2 (1.51M).

Originally released in 2018, Mega Man 11 has maintained steady sales over seven years as an evergreen "catalog title"—Capcom's classification for software that continues generating revenue through extended promotion, discounts, and bundle sales. Digital catalog titles account for a significant portion of Capcom's profits, with Mega Man 11 contributing alongside other Mega Man titles released in recent years. 

While not the fastest-selling title in the franchise—that honor goes to Mega Man Battle Network Legacy CollectionMega Man 11 has accomplished a feat no other game has in the series' 38-year history. To think there was a time when so many Mega Man games couldn't even crack 500,000 or even 100,000 copies, this milestone was once just a pipe dream.

Want More Mega Man Games Re-released on PC? Vote on GOG's Dreamlist

Hot on the heels of the enhanced re-releases of Dino Crisis and Dino Crisis 2, GOG has announced Dreamlist—a community-driven initiative where users can vote on games they'd like to see revived or added to GOG. These votes will help GOG collaborate with IP holders to navigate licensing, rights, and technical hurdles to bring selected games to the platform, DRM-free, forever.

A number of Mega Man titles are already on Dreamlist, including several that aren't officially available on modern hardware or storefronts—such as Mega Man Legends 1 & 2, Command Mission, and even Powered Up. While GOG primarily hosts games with prior PC releases, Dreamlist makes it clear that any game can be suggested, regardless of platform history.

Capcom has previously worked with GOG to release enhanced ports of Resident Evil 1–3 and, more recently, Dino Crisis 1 & 2. These versions feature support for 4K displays, modern controllers, Windows 10/11 compatibility, and other improvements. Given this track record, it’s not far-fetched to imagine, at the very least, Legends 1 & 2 receiving similar treatment if there's enough demand.

Head over to Dreamlist, search for your favorite games, and cast your vote!
