Capcom quietly dropped pre-orders for three new pieces of Dual Override merchandise on E-Capcom this morning, all based on the game’s key art. Interestingly, some of the items feature a less-cropped version of the illustration, giving us a clearer look at Mega Man’s Mega Buster and lower body.
The lineup includes a muffler towel, an NFC-enabled keychain that unlocks AR content when scanned with a phone, letting fans take photos with Mega Man and listen to a looping piece of music from Dual Override, and a simple tote bag that looks well-suited for travel.
All three items are currently slated to ship on October 15 and, for now, appear to be exclusive to Japan.

That's some interesting choices for the first merch... but I guess these items are aimed at accessibility for the average person. Far too early to be dropping figures and such. Even then, the keychain is certainly an idea.
ReplyDeleteDamn that’s a big buster! Bro’s carrying a small trash can on his arm!
ReplyDeleteA music preview is exciting, but since this is 6 months from now, who knows if we’ll hear it sooner…
Uhm... what about showing some more details about the game (more gameplay footage, overview of features, show Proto Man) before announcing the crappy souvenier-type merch? (it's literally using stock artwork)
