On April 27, Capcom reported 1 million units sold within two weeks following the title's release. Today's update confirms that, from April 27 to June 30, the collection sold an additional 320k units.
As of now, Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection is the 5th best selling game in the franchise following Mega Man 11 (1.70 M), Mega Man 2 (1.51 M), Mega Man Legacy Collection (1.40 M) and Mega Man Battle Network 4 (1.35 M). At this pace, it is well on its way to the top.
Further, thanks in large part to Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection's outstanding performance, the Mega Man franchise as a whole jumped from 38 million units to 40 million units sold. A remarkable and well-deserved achievement at last.
Couple corrections:
ReplyDelete"In April 27"
*On
"from April 28 to June 30, the collection sold an additional 320k units"
The announcement was made from the Japanese Twitter account at 9 AM in Japan. Therefore, it is actually from April 27, not 28, that it sold an additional 320k.
This is honestly another great milestone for the Mega Man franchise! At this rate, fans might get either a new game and or TV series!
ReplyDeleteMega Man Network Transmission Is Still Missing Capcom And You Know We Want A Remastered Of That Game
ReplyDeleteMega Man Network Transmission Is Missing Capcom We Want A Remastered Of That Game Because Arika Were The Ones That Made That Game.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot
ReplyDeleteSo now that means it's time for a new one!! WE'VE BEEN WAITING lol
ReplyDeleteGet in line
DeleteAwesome, maybe we'll FINALLY get a remake of Starforce. Nothing wrong with it, I was just never that big a fan of the Network series, but I played the bejesus out of the Starforce series, with all it's flaws and lame story telling, I still really liked it. Just lower the encounter rate on the 2nd one, please.
ReplyDeleteYou can try to play the DX patch on emulator. It is even better.
DeleteWOOOOOOO LETS FUCKIN GOOOOO
ReplyDeleteIN THE TOP 5 BABEYYYY
Come on! Do the Starforce and give us a new Starforce with it!
ReplyDeleteI wish the Zero/ZX collection sold that well...
ReplyDeleteThat makes two of us
DeleteTo celebrate, Capcom will announce "Rockman DASH 3," which is a breakfast cereal themed after Mega Man Fully Charged.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of meme art I saw of "Capcom Vs Kellogs"
DeleteConsidering we did get a proper game after the Classic Legacy Collection did well, this seems too spiteful.
Delete@Anonymous:
DeleteAnd in the almost five years after that proper game ended up becoming the highest-selling game in the franchise, we got a mediocre gacha mobile game, more merchandise, another collection, and that's it. :(
Don't forget a really bad TV series
DeleteThat still sounds pretty spiteful considering none of the other collections sold quite as well, as well as the whole pandemic coming on. We'll probably get a game even if it's crappy.
Delete@Anynomous
DeleteThe pandemic is absolutely not an excuse anymore. In thirteen years, we've gotten one proper Mega Man game, one mobile gacha game, and one pachislots game. My cynicism is well-deserved.
BLNC selling good is not a good thing for the franchise. I'm severely offended as an Xbox owner.
ReplyDeleteDon't be clown. Xbox gamers had multiple chances to avoid this. Capcom made a business based on their sales data. Wanting the collection to fail because you own the console Japanese games have a history of selling poorly on is selfish and disgusting behavior. Do the research on which consoles get which games and you wouldn't be in this position acting like a loser.
Delete^ He wasn't implying he wanted the collection to fail. Just that it isn't a good thing because it sets a bad precedent for the franchise. Oh yeah, he totally is obligated to be a seer and hope that he buys the 'correct' console because they suddenly stop making the games for his console /sarcasm. It's extremely selfish and repugnant behaviour to force others on how to spend their money and if anything it makes YOU the loser as well as Capcom.
DeleteMajor congrats on Battle Network's collection making some big bank.
ReplyDeleteThats good news as always but where is Mega Man 12, Mega Man X9, and Mega Man Legends 3 ? Thats why I am not exciting at all until they announce something. They promised us a new Mega Man game a few years ago. Sighing. I hope that they keep their promise.
ReplyDelete"from April 28 to June 30, the collection sold an additional 320k units"
ReplyDeleteThe announcement was made from the Japanese Twitter account On April 27 at 9 AM in Japan. Therefore, it is actually from April 27, not 28, that it sold an additional 320k. This is simple math and you are not taking into account the majority of regions time zones behind Japan that were still on April 26 when the announcement was made, which solidifies April 27, not 28, being the starting point of the additional 320k.
Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.

It's very clear you are refusing to correct your mistake when it is factually incorrect.
A simple, "Hey, you should fix the date. It should be, etc" would've sufficed. It's amended. Thanks!
