Shingo Izumi Named as Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection Producer

Shingo Izumi joined Capcom in 2018 and first appeared on the Mega Man front in the Secret Level episode Mega Man: Start, credited as one of two new development team members. Today, Rockman Unity confirmed Izumi as the producer of Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection. He’ll also appear at the game’s special stage at Tokyo Game Show on Sunday, September 28, at 10:00 JST, alongside Rockman Unity’s Ucchy-san and comedian Go☆Jas.

The question now is whether Izumi has become the new front man for the Mega Man IP, stepping in after Kazuhiro Tsuchiya’s departure from Capcom in 2023. This news doesn’t confirm it outright, but his growing involvement with the series—from Secret Level to Star Force Legacy Collection—does point in that direction. 

Maybe we’ll hear more next Sunday. Or not. Either way, fresh updates on the collection are coming soon.

Mega Man Coming to Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds as DLC

Early copies of Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds are surfacing as some retailers appear to be breaking the street date ahead of its official September 25th release. Inside the case, a postcard reportedly reveals the final paid DLC pack: Mega Man. Judging by the logo, it appears to be none other than the classic series Blue Bomber.

Fans have been hoping Mega Man would make the cut ever since CrossWorlds was first announced, especially after years of official but non-game crossovers with Sonic the Hedgehog—the most notable being the Archie Comics Worlds Collide saga. If this insert is genuine, CrossWorlds would mark the first time Mega Man and Sonic appear together in a major Sonic title.

Stay tuned for updates!

Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection Screenshots, Art

Captured from the extended Japanese trailer, I've compiled a batch of screenshots from Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection and high-resolution art assets provided by Capcom. 

The footage covered a few features not confirmed in Capcom's initial press release, including multiple screen orientation options, upscaled 3D models, the return of Battle Network Legacy Collection's "smooth" filter, a music player, and more.

Review: Kotobukiya Axl White Version

The Mega Man X series is famous for many things, but one of the most distinctive elements is the variety of Armors worn by its characters. X is the face of this tradition, though Zero, Vile, and Sigma have each sported multiple designs over the years. Then there’s the most enigmatic member of the cast: Axl. In Mega Man X8, Axl received a mysterious upgrade known only as “???”—better remembered by fans as White Axl. For over two decades, this design has gone without a proper figure, until now. To my surprise, Kotobukiya has finally answered the call. We know their track record speaks for itself, but just how impressive is this release? Let’s take a closer look!

Kotobukiya Announces "Zero 1st Ver." Model Kit (Update)

After Monday’s tease, Kotobukiya officially announced a new Zero model kit today. As expected, it’s the first version of Zero from the original Mega Man X game.

Kotobukiya Hints at New Mega Man X Series Kit With “Iron Pipe” Tease

Kotobukiya Japan dropped a cheeky tease on Twitter, posting a picture of an iron pipe accessory alongside the caption: “New info from the Rockman X plastic model series! At long last, a new product… the ‘Iron Pipe’ is getting a release!? It’s just an iron pipe, but as a plastic model… what could this mean!? Details will be revealed on Wednesday, September 3, 2025, so please look forward to it!”

So, why an iron pipe? Fans will recall that Zero wielded one during his very first encounter with Sigma in the events leading up to Mega Man X1. That makes this tease easy to read as either a nod to a potential pre-X1 Zero kit (with the pipe as an accessory) or as an add-on for the already-announced Sigma kit. But given that the tweet carefully described it as a new product the wording feels very deliberate. 

Either way, the mystery won’t last long; we’ll know for sure in just a few days.

Review: Kotobukiya Mega Man 11 Scramble Thunder & Pile Drive

After a short delay, Kotobukiya has finally released the latest kits in their Mega Man Classic line. This time, we got two Special Weapon based kits from Mega Man 11: Scramble Thunder and Pile Drive. Are they worth the wait, and do they stay true to the source material? After the break, I’ll cover everything you need to know!

Mega Man Legends PC Port Gets Unofficial Repack, Playable on Modern Hardware

Where Capcom slacks, fans are more than happy to pick up the slack. That old adage rings true today with news that the 2001 PC port of Mega Man Legends has been repackaged and fixed to run on modern machines thanks to KuroRaiden. 

With the help of DxWrapper, he’s created a build that works on Windows 10 and 11 while also resolving long-standing compatibility issues. The update eliminates forced auto-fullscreen and, by including the “Unfinished Business” patch, replaces the port’s low-quality audio files with high-quality WAVs sourced from the original PlayStation release. The repack also adds Xinput-to-Dinput support.

As for Steam Deck compatibility, KuroRaiden notes that it’s doable, though it may require tinkering with GE-Proton and other Wine layers. 

Until an official re-release surfaces on something like GOG, this is a nice hassle-free option. Download it here!

KuroRaiden is available on Twitter and Bluesky for support and troubleshooting. Let him know if you run into any issues!

Mr. Mega Man, Little Mega Man Volume 2 Delayed to Late November

Those who've pre-order Mr. Mega Man Volume 2 and Little Mega Man Volume 2 are receiving alerts from Amazon that the books are now expected to ship on November 25th. They were previously expected to release in late July.

In the meantime, here are the official solicitations:

Mr. Mega Man Volume 2 - When Mega Man grows up, he must face his greatest challenge of all... life as an adult! The battles with Dr. Wily are in the past, and Mega Man has grown up in a peaceful world. Now spending his days as a dentist, Mega Man has begun to notice a rise in strange, robot-related incidents. As a result, he must once again use his great power to protect the world and uncover the mastermind behind this mystery…

Little Mega Man Volume 2 - The endless battle between Dr. Light and Mega Man continues! The Blue Bomber encounters more wacky new robots such as… Demon Man! Sushi Man! Plasma TV Man…? Plus, meet the very shiny European Mega Man! And is that… X and ZERO!? It’s all-out zany adventures in LITTLE MEGA MAN!

Release dates for third and final volumes of each series have not yet been confirmed, but it’s likely we can expect them in early 2026 at this rate.

Thanks to Eric for the tip!

Fan-Mod Restores Street Fighter V Content to Mega Man X DiVE Offline

When Mega Man X DiVE Offline launched in 2023, it stripped away crossover content from the original online version. One of the biggest omissions was the Street Fighter V collaboration, which introduced Ryu, Chun-Li, and Akuma as playable characters along with 18 themed cards tied to the event.

Thanks to the Derivative Works team, a new mod brings the Street Fighter V collaboration back to the Steam version of Mega Man X DiVE Offline. It’s available on Nexusmods, complete with setup instructions. After installation, players can visit the Collab Character Store to obtain Memory Fragments for Ryu, Chun-Li, and Akuma to unlock the fighters.

If you run into any issues or just want to check out Derivative Works' other X DiVE mods, hit them up on Discord!

Check Out the Mini Figures From Jasco's Unreleased Mega Man-All Stars Board Game

Four years ago, Jasco Games announced a follow-up to their Mega Man: The Board Game, titled Mega Man All-Stars. Drawing inspiration from Mega Man Megamix, the game centered on defending Dr. Light’s lab from waves of Robot Masters and Star Droids while building powerful Special Weapons to take the fight to Dr. Wily.

Although the Kickstarter campaign was successful and the project cleared all of Capcom’s certifications and approvals, the game never saw a public release. Whether it’s been canceled or simply delayed is still unclear. In the meantime, project artist Hector Moran recently shared renders and images of many of the planned mini figures. Check 'em out below!

Mega Man Zero Timelines #1 Now in Stores

If you don’t have a comic shop nearby or your local store doesn’t carry it, you can order the book directly from Udon Entertainment’s online store. For readers outside the U.S. with limited shipping options, eBay is the best option for this and other Udon Mega Man books.

Next up in Mega Man ZX Timelines #1 on September 10th, according to Lunar Distribution. No delay in sight this time; we'll keep you posted.

Happy reading!

Shooting Star Rockman Manga Getting Digital Reprint in Japan

Shooting Star Rockman has been seeing a teeny tiny resurgence lately, and that trend continues with Fukkan’s latest announcement. For the first time, all four volumes of Masaya Itagaki’s Shooting Star Rockman manga will be released as Kindle e-books, arriving on Amazon Japan on Friday, August 22nd.

The first three volumes loosely adapt the events of Shooting Star Rockman 1, while the fourth volume, Tribe Shooting Star Rockman Battle Side Story, includes some elements and characters from Shooting Star Rockman 2. Although the series never received an official English release, it was published in Indonesia and Thailand back in 2012.

Content-wise, these digital editions are expected to match the original print runs, but with refreshed logos and Fukkan branding. Pre-orders are currently live for those with access to Amazon Japan.

Review: Kotobukiya Bass.EXE

For Kotobukiya’s various Mega Man lines—and most Mega Man toy lines in general—it’s rare to see characters beyond the main cast get made. Lately, though, Kotobukiya seems to have taken that criticism to heart. They are trying to venture off the beaten path with kits like the upcoming Sigma, the surprise announcement of Roll.EXE, or with today's subject: the Cyberworld's God of Destruction, Bass.EXE. Was Kotobukiya able to deliver on this fan-favorite rouge Program? Join me after the break as we discuss everything about this kit!

Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 Sales Top 1 Million Units

Capcom has updated its Platinum Titles chart for the fiscal year, which lists software that has sold one million or more units worldwide. As of June 30th 2025, Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 has reached one million cumulative sales across PlayStation 4, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PC. It’s the latest addition to the growing club of million-selling Mega Man games—becoming the sixth in the past decade and the tenth overall to surpass the milestone.

Franchise-wide sales for Mega Man remain at 43 million units, holding steady from the previous quarter. Meanwhile, other past entries continued to gain ground: Mega Man X Legacy Collection 1 climbed to 1.5 million units (up 100K), and Mega Man X Legacy Collection 2 rose to 1.1 million (up 100K).

Ruby-Spears Mega Man Coming to SD-BD with New Features, Commentary and More!

Announced today at Discotek’s Otakon panel, the complete Ruby-Spears animated series is heading to Blu-ray under Discotek’s SD-BD line (Standard Definition on Blu-ray). To set it apart from the earlier DVD release, this edition is loaded with a wealth of bonus material that I, along with a few friends from the Mega Man community, helped put together. Here’s the rundown:

• All 27 episodes presented in Standard Definition

• A newly restored version of episode 1 sourced from the original master, presented at its proper speed—a format not seen in decades.

• Bonus materials include:
• A new scan of the original "anime" pitch pilot
• Hi-res scans of the show's original press kit
• TV commercials
• A toy commercial
• Art and marketing galleries (preview here, here and here)
• Brand-new, interactive menus
• Complete scans of the series bible (preview)
• All-new commentary with Ian James Corlett, the voice of Mega Man!

Over the course of the past year and a half, I’ve worked closely with Discotek on this set, and I can say with absolute certainty that it’s worth double-dipping even if you already own the complete series on DVD. The new transfer of episode 1 is very crisp, and some of the show bible materials are being revealed here for the first time—never before seen, even by longtime Rockman Corner readers.

More updates including a release window soon!

Rockman x The Legend of the Three Kingdoms Online Story Synopsis

Last month, a crossover event between Rockman and the Taiwan-exclusive MMO The Legend of the Three Kingdoms Online was announced to... well, little fanfare. It’s the latest in a long line of unusual, seemingly random collaborations with little relevance to fans outside its country of origin. Still, for the sake of posterity, it’s our duty to document its place in Rockman’s proverbial history books. So, for your consideration, here’s a complete summary of the crossover’s plot.

Mega Man X DiVE: Official Complete Works Slips to October

Originally scheduled for release in July, the English edition of Mega Man X DiVE: Official Complete Works has been delayed. Amazon customers have begun receiving emails stating the book is now expected to ship on Tuesday, October 14th. 

Udon’s official store has yet to update its listing with the new release date, so if you pre-ordered from there, it may be worth keeping an eye out for any changes.

In the meantime, you can check out a handful of preview pages here to tide you over until October. Many thanks to CrystalLaser and Mike_0 for the tip!

Mega Man X Comic Series Reading Order

With Mega Man X Timelines #1 hitting comic shops this week, author Daniel "Protoman" Arseneault is already looking ahead to his next endeavor: the upcoming Mega Man X ongoing series. For those curious about how — or even if — this new series connects to Timelines, Daniel has shared the graphic above to clarify how everything fits together.

According to him, the ongoing story begins with an as-yet-unannounced issue #0. While the events of that issue remain a mystery for now, it leads directly into Mega Man X Timelines #1, which centers on X and Zero’s battle with Chill Penguin. The timeline then continues with Mega Man X ongoing #1, currently scheduled to launch later this fall.

More details on the ongoing series are forthcoming. Stay tuned!

The Complete List of Rockman Garage Kits at Summer Wonder Festival 2025

Wonder Festival returned over the weekend for its annual summer event, bringing a fresh batch of Rockman garage kits. For the uninitiated, WonderFest is a Japan-based event where creators obtain one-day licenses to sell copyrighted fan works—mainly garage kits. Due to Japan’s copyright laws, these are sold in person only, though they often surface on the secondary market for a hefty pile of zenny. A few kits returned from the 2025 Winter show (which you can check out here), but there were some exciting new offerings too. Let’s take a look at what was up for grabs!

Arseneault will return as writer, joined once again by illustrator Hanzo Steinbach.

According to Udon’s San Diego Comic-Con panel, the Mega Man X comic is a separate title from Mega Man Timelines and will launch with its own issue #1 when it begins serialization this fall.

A release date hasn’t been announced yet, and if past launches are any indication, it may be several months before Proto Man goes up for preorder.

New Look at Hiya Toys Mega Man X Figures (X, Zero and Sigma)

Back in March, Hiya Toys offered a first look at their 1/12-scale X figure, rumored to kick off a new line of licensed Mega Man X figures under the "Exquisite Basic" banner. Today, that rumor is confirmed—with an updated preview of X, plus the debut of Zero and Sigma at the San Diego Comic Con.

Though still in the prototype stage, the figures give us a clear idea of what's to come. X features multiple swappable hands and faces, along with X-Buster effect parts. Zero, styled after his X2 appearance, includes similar accessories and alternate pieces for his Z-Saber. Sigma is based on his X1 design and comes with his own interchangeable hands, faces, and saber effects.

Mega Man Was Once Considered for Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games 2020

According to Mario & Sonic series producer Lee Cocker, Sega and Nintendo originally envisioned Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 as a full-blown “Video Game All-Stars” crossover, bringing together characters from other IPs—including Mega Man.

In a recent exchange on Twitter, Cocker revealed that the original concept for the game was to include a wide range of iconic characters—not just from the worlds of Mario and Sonic, but from across the gaming industry. That lineup included Mega Man, Pokémon, Street Fighter, Metal Gear Solid, and even select Sony and Microsoft properties. The idea was that certain characters would appear only in specific Olympic events, creating a crossover experience tailored to each character’s unique traits.

Unfortunately, the plan never came to fruition. “Lots of the deals/agreements couldn’t be agreed, which was a shame,” Cocker explained, “so it went back to just being Mario and Sonic.”

Still, it’s exciting to know that Mega Man was considered for a leading role in what could have been one of gaming’s most ambitious crossovers to date.

Capcom Once Again Reaffirms Mega Man’s Importance at Shareholder Meeting

During the Q&A session at the 46th Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders, Capcom reiterated that Mega Man remains an important part of its portfolio. As with a similar statement made in 2024, the company confirmed that while no new announcements can be made at this time, the series continues to be a key element of its global strategy.

The company also highlighted the growing international demand for Mega Man merchandise and plans to continue expanding this business in the future.

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.
