Rockman x The Legend of Three Kingdoms Online Collaboration Event Announced

UserJoy Technology is celebrating the 20th anniversary of The Legend of Three Kingdoms Online with a crossover event with none other than Rockman. Set to launch on July 31st, the collaboration brings classic series character into the long-running Taiwanese MMORPG through officially licensed in-game content.

Players can look forward to a lineup of avatars based on classic characters like Rockman, Blues, and Forte, all reimagined in a 3D style that evokes their original 8-bit designs. The event also includes themed bosses and a Rush-inspired mount (you can see Dr. Wily riding along for the chaos above). A brand-new server will launch the same day, giving new and returning players a chance to jump in with bonus rewards and a clean slate.

While The Legend of Three Kingdoms Online is technically playable outside of Taiwan, it does not support English. For many of us, this will be one of those obscure, region-locked collaborations we’ll have to enjoy from afar through secondhand footage.

Jada Mega Man Wave 3 Now Available to Pre-Order

At long, long last, the third wave of Jada Toys' Mega Man line is now available to pre-order from Big Bad Toystore and Entertainment Earth. Each figure is priced at $29.99 and is expected to ship in October.

• Mega Man - BBTS | Entertainment Earth
• Bubble Man - BBTS | Entertainment Earth
• Wood Man - BBTS | Entertainment Earth

The $30 price tag was expected, especially with Bubble Man and Wood Man being slightly taller than earlier Robot Masters. Additionally, Mega Man includes a fully articulated Met—it's not just a static accessory. This added functionality and the upgraded materials contribute to the "Deluxe" label.

Now that these figures are finally on the move, we can set our sights on Wave 4, which will include Proto Man, Snake Man and Gemini Laser Mega Man. Hopefully, it won't be much longer before more details surface.

Rockman: The Puzzle Battle Preserved

Rockman: The Puzzle Battle originally launched in 2011 for i-mode and EZweb-supported mobile phones, exclusively in Japan. Now, thanks to the work of a user named 2Soulz, the game has been successfully extracted from its original hardware and is fully playable through the Keitai World Launcher emulator. For the best experience, it’s recommended to use Windows 10 or later, as older systems may encounter bugs. 

Gameplay is very straight forward: you swap adjacent spheres to line up three or more of the same color in a row or column. Each successful match prompts Rockman to launch an attack on his opponent. If you match four or more, you’ll earn an extra turn. The goal is to drain the Robot Master’s health down to zero. Defeating a Robot Master rewards you with their unique Special Weapon, which can create different effects.

Many thanks to 2Soul and RockmanCosmo for capturing the footage!

NebulaJoy’s Rockman: Time Rift May Be Nearing End of Service

Rockman: Time Rift, the Mainland Chinese version of Rockman X DiVE operated by NebulaJoy, may already be on its last legs—just a month after launch. According to player reports, the second month’s Battle Pass is no longer being updated, NebulaJoy’s customer support has gone silent on tickets and direct messages, and official social media channels have ceased updates.

Originally announced in late 2024, Time Rift launched just recently and was met with skepticism from the start. While it’s largely similar to the Capcom Taiwan and Global versions of Rockman X DiVE, it introduced a handful controversial changes—such as a revamped gacha system, paywalled banners, and altered pull rates. A full breakdown of those differences can be found here.

Although the end of service has not been officially confirmed, the signs are hard to ignore. For many players, this isn’t surprising—nor unwelcome. Time Rift has faced strong backlash for monetization practices even more aggressive than those in Capcom’s versions. And with Rockman X DiVE Offline already available in Mainland China, there’s little reason to invest in what many see as another poorly handled NebulaJoy product.

Osaka Museum Archive Preserves Rare Rockman Commercials

The Nakanoshima Museum of Art, Osaka, has officially confirmed the preservation of several Capcom television commercials as part of its "Mannensha Collection"—including rare spots for Rockman 1 and Rockman 2. These commercials were publicly screened for the first time on June 8th.

These commercials are part of a broader archival effort to digitize the work of Mannensha, a prominent advertising agency active during the 1980s and 1990s. Among the preserved film negatives and video materials are spots for Bionic Commando, Sweet Home, and notably, Rockman 1—a version that predates the game’s release by nearly a month. Interestingly, it appears to be shorter than the Rockman 1 commercial that’s been circulating on YouTube for years, suggesting it may be an earlier or alternate cut. 

According to the museum, these commercials have been digitized and can be viewed without a reservation in their Archives Information Room. Visitors can access them on-site using provided tablets. Viewing original physical materials is also possible by appointment.

While the content itself hasn’t been made available online, the fact that these commercials are preserved in a public archive is a noteworthy for fans and game historians alike. It’s fortunate that these materials were deemed valuable enough to be preserved before their aging analog formats deteriorated.
