Mega Man: Dual Override Gets Fan-Made 8-Bit Trailer

Since Mega Man: Dual Override was revealed, there’s been a steady wave of fan art, mockups, theories, and all kinds of creative tributes popping up across the community. But this one hits different.

Croby spent the last couple of months putting this together: a retro reimagining of Dual Override that transforms the game’s modern aesthetic into something that feels pulled straight from the NES era. Complete with a limited color palette and a chiptune arranged theme by 40Nix, the presentation is authentic enough to pass for an official throwback.

Just a little something to hold you over until the next Dual Override update, where we’ll be taking a look at the six Robot Master Design Contest finalists later this month.

Grandista MegaMan.EXE Now Available to Pre-Order

Banpresto’s Grandista MegaMan.EXE is headed to Japanese arcades and prize machines this May. Fortunately, fans outside Japan won’t have to miss out. The figure is now available for pre-order through Amazon and Big Bad Toy Store, with shipments expected to begin in September and June, respectively.

As previously reported, this non-articulated figure stands approximately 24 cm (about 9.4 inches) tall, making it slightly larger than the earlier classic series Mega Man Grandista release.

Banpresto has also subtly hinted that additional Grandista figures may be on the way, so if you’re a fan of this one, we’ll be keeping an ear to the ground for what comes next.

Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection May Include In-App Purchases

Capcom may be planning optional in-game purchases for Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection, based on language found in the game’s Steam EULA. 

Shortly after the pre-order trailer went live, the Steam page quietly published the End User License Agreement. One section notes the game “may include an optional function to purchase in-game virtual currency and virtual items.” The wording is broad, but what stands out is that the Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection EULA contains no similar reference. In fact, no other Legacy Collection does.

One possible connection is "Battle Points" (BP), which appear to be tied to online play, though their purpose has yet to be explained. At the moment, profile card stickers are the only confirmed feature that could reasonably align with purchasable items. Other possibilities, such as systems similar to Card Traders, are harder to square given how Battle Cards are traditionally tied to save data and folder progression.

It's important to note that the EULA doesn't confirm microtransactions outright, only that the functionality may exist. This could be Capcom laying the ground work when or if they decide to pursue that route. Still, its inclusion marks a noticeable departure from past Legacy Collections and is something worth keeping an eye on as Capcom shares more details about the online mode.

Thanks to AstroStelar for the tip!

Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection is Steam Deck Verified

With almost a month to go till launch, Capcom has updated Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection’s Steam profile to confirm the game will be fully functional on Steam Deck from day one. 

Not only will you be able to enjoy the PC version on the go or from the comfort of your bed (or maybe the toilet seat) but you'll be able to play around with the vertical display option that offers a fairly accurate recreation of the Nintendo DS dual-screen setup. Vertical display is supported across all versions of the game, but there’s a portable novelty to being able to use it on Nintendo Switch and now Steam Deck.

Of note, the updated Steam page also confirms the game will require an internet connection for installation and first-time setup, a telltale sign that the game will feature Denuvo DRM at launch.

Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection launches on March 27th.

Rockman EXE: Phantom of Network Gets Unofficial, Native PC Port

GreigaMaster has released a native Windows PC port of Rockman EXE: Phantom of Network, giving the mobile-exclusive spin-off a proper home on modern hardware, no emulator required. Download it here!

This version runs natively on Windows and supports both the original Japanese release and the English fan translation. More importantly, it delivers stability the game never really had: a locked 15fps, uninterrupted music and audio, and clean native upscaling from 1x resolution.

To get the game up and running, you'll need to obtain the original Japanese i-αppli game files for Phantom of Network from SciLab Secrets. Follow the instructions on GitHub closely and you'll be all set in no time.

Mega Man X: Viral Nightmare (X6 Fan Remake) Demo Now Available

In case you missed it, the first batch demo of Mega Man X: Viral Nightmare is now available to download from SFGHQ. 

Developed by Cat Yard Games, Viral Nightmare is a reworked and reimagined take on Mega Man X6 that significantly enhances and expands the original game. It introduces a fully overhauled Nightmare Soul system, mix-and-match Armor parts, redesigned stages (with Blaze Heatnix’s stage standing out as an big improvement -- seriously), new story elements, and more.

The Batch 1 demo features five playable stages, four Armor Parts to collect, and 17 swappable parts to experiment with. There's enough content here to get a feel for the concept, which feels genuinely promising. Even if you’re perfectly happy with X6 as it is, this is absolutely worth checking out.

Quick heads up: if you’re planning to use a controller, make sure to launch the demo directly from your Steam Library. There’s currently a small issue where the controller won’t be detected if you run the standalone executable. Beyond that, enjoy!

Another Look at Shooting Star Mega Man, Zero Blokees (Plus Accessories)

Following their debut last month, Blokees Shooting Star Mega Man and Zero resurfaced at Toy Fair 2026 this weekend. Along with a new batch of prototype photos, we’re also getting a better look at their included accessories.

Positioned behind both figures is a display plate showing what comes with each kit. Shooting Star Mega Man includes three face parts, a Mega Buster with Omega-Xis, a sword part, several hand parts, and a set of Battle Cards that appear to be compatible with at least one alternate hand. Zero’s set features three face parts as well, multiple hand parts, a Z-Saber, a Buster Shot gun, and a pair of Recoil Rods.

There’s still no release date, pricing, or availability details at this time. More photos via Preternia!

Mystery Kit Revealed in Kotobukiya's Rockman Plastic Model Talk Live

Kotobukiya is back with their first Rockman-focused live show in over two years, and it had a lot to live up to.

After the break, we will break down everything we learned from tonight's show.

The Complete Guide to Rockman Garage Kits at Winter WonderFest 2026

Wonder Festival returned for its 2026 winter show, and once again the Blue Bomber was well represented. 

For those unfamiliar, WonderFest is a Japan-based event where hobbyists sell custom garage kits under special one-day licenses, meaning they’re only available in person during the show. While a few sometimes pop up later on Yahoo! Auctions Japan, expect to pay a hefty pile of zenny. Most kits also come molded in solid colors, requiring plenty of cleanup and paint work to truly shine. 

So let’s take a looksie at what all showed up this season! 

Udon's Mega Man Comics Now Available Digitally

Udon Entertainment has partnered with Neon Ichiban to bring a selection of comics in digital format for the first time.

New issues will be distributed digitally as they come in.

This collaboration is a big win for readers who’ve been asking for official digital options, and especially for international fans who’ve had a hard time tracking down physical copies without dealing with steep import costs.

Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection Update Fixes Lost Chips in MMBN 5 & 6

An update for all versions of Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection has corrected an issue in Mega Man Battle Network 5 and Mega Man Battle Network 6 that caused certain Battle Chips to be lost under specific circumstances.

In Battle Network 5, the affected chips were AntiDmg *, NrthWind *, GrabRvng F, and VDoll T. In Battle Network 6, the impacted chips included DublShot C, Hiboomer V, GrabRvng I, and BigBomb O.

Alongside the fix, a new feature has been added that allows players to reclaim the affected chips. They can now be obtained through each game’s Special Cards section, accessible via the Patch Cards & Download Chips menu in the Gallery.

Each card can only be claimed once per version. Even players who did not encounter the issue are free to redeem them.

A Closer Look at MDLX Bass and Fourth Armor X Figures

Wonder Festival is underway, and with it comes a closer look at the newest additions to ThreeZero’s MDLX Mega Man line: Bass and Fourth Armor X.

Both figures are still in the prototype stage, but the latest display offers a clearer view of the sculpt work and finer detailing. There’s still no release date just yet, though progress appears to be moving along steadily.

If you’re attending Wonder Festival, you can see them up close at ThreeZero’s booth (7-17-04).

Mega Man 11, Classic Legacy Collections Sales Continue to Grow

It wasn’t long ago that we learned Mega Man surpassed 44 million units sold during the last fiscal year. Now, thanks to Capcom’s updated Platinum Titles list, we have a clearer breakdown of how that milestone was reached, including refreshed sales figures for Mega Man 11 and both Mega Man Legacy Collections.

As of December 31, 2025, Mega Man 11 has added another 200,000 units to its total, climbing from 2.0 million to 2.20 million sold. While not officially confirmed, this bump in sales is likely tied, at least in part, to the 90% off discount Capcom ran shortly after Dual Override was announced. To date, Mega Man 11 is the best-selling game in the franchise.

The two classic series Legacy Collections have also seen steady growth. Both Mega Man Legacy Collection 1 and Legacy Collection 2 moved an additional 100,000 units each. Mega Man Legacy Collection increased from 1.7 million to 1.8 million, while Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 rose from 1.0 million to 1.10 million.

The charming, bean-shaped plushies will be available beginning February 27th at Capcom Store locations in Tokyo, Osaka, and Umeda, priced at 1,320 yen each. They’re also scheduled to appear later this month in the online crane game Capcom Net Catcher, offering another way for fans in Japan who can’t easily visit the physical stores to pick them up.

For fans outside Japan, Capcorom plushies typically surface through third-party sellers such as eBay, occasional Amazon listings, and select Japanese online shops that can be accessed using a proxy buying service.
