Fan Project Turns Mega Man Battle Network 6 Into an Endless Roguelike

If you're like me, Battle Network 6 is your favorite game in the series. You know it like the back of your hand. But what if you could take everything you love about it and make it fresh and even unpredictable again?

That's the idea behind Mega Man Battle Network: Cyberworld Endless*. Created by saschb2b, the project gives Battle Network 6 a roguelike twist, generating new Cyberworld layouts with each run. You'll work through increasingly difficult areas, unlock new starting options between runs and see just how far you can push the game's Endless mode. Progress carries over, too, with additional folders, Crosses and other options unlocking over time.

Cyberworld Endless is available on PC, Steam Deck, Android, New Nintendo 3DS and even in your browser. All you need is to supply your own U.S. copy of Cybeast Gregar. You know, one of those ROM things.

*Disclaimer: Portions of this project were developed with the assistance of generative AI tools.

Ishihara, Komaki Talk About Making Mega Man Taller for Dual Override

Back when Mega Man: Dual Override was first revealed, one thing we quickly noticed was how much taller Mega Man looked compared to his appearance in Mega Man 11. Some of us figured it might be a deliberate nod, and maybe even something of a return, to his proportions in Mega Man 8. But was that actually the idea?

Mega Man: Gear Masters #3 Pre-Orders Open Tomorrow, Udon Store Variant Revealed

Review: Kotobukiya Sigma (Mega Man X Ver.)

Kotobukiya's Mega Man X line continues to expand its character selection beyond just X and Zero. First, we got Axl, followed by Iris, two very popular characters that were long overdue for modern figures.

Now, Kotobukiya is tackling its most ambitious kit yet: Sigma, specifically his appearance from the original Mega Man X.

Was Sigma's first articulated figure worth the wait, or does it buckle under the weight of expectations? After the break, I'll go over everything this kit has to offer.

Hitoshi Ariga Sheds Light on Mega Man’s Split From Comic BomBom

For years, a story has circulated among Japanese fans that Mega Man’s disappearance from Comic BomBom was tied to then-editor-in-chief Shinpachiro Ikeda wanting to move away from the series. But according to Hitoshi Ariga, what happened behind the scenes was a lot more complicated than that.

In a new retrospective, Ariga says the split appears to have come down less to one person and more to growing friction and poor communication between the magazine and Capcom, which came to a head during the development of Mega Man & Bass. 

Official Mega Man: Dual Override and Pragmata Collab Apparel Now Available

Jet Man Revealed for Mega Man: Dual Override

 

During the special Mega Man: Dual Override stage presentation at Tokyo Game Show 2026, Capcom revealed a brand-new Robot Master: Jet Man!

The high-flying, transforming Robot Master was shown squaring off against Proto Man in a new trailer. Defeating Jet Man will earn players his Special Weapon, Jet Stinger.

Also teased at the end of the trailer is Mega Man using Astro Crush. According to producer Shingo Izumi, Astro Crush is a Custom Chip obtained by defeating Astro Man R. Returning Robot Masters will reward players with Custom Chips based on their classic Special Weapons.

This post will be updated as more information becomes available.

Another Look at Blokees Champion Class X and Zero

Over the weekend, Blokees held a private event in Japan where fans were invited to check out prototypes of several upcoming kits. Among them were Champion Class X and Zero, giving us an even better look at the pair following their reveal last month.

These new images offer a much clearer look at the finished kits, especially the detailing from the front. Much like the recently released Shooting Star Mega Man and Zero series Zero kits, Blokees is once again putting its own spin on the characters while still staying faithful to their in-game designs.

There’s still no word on a release date, but we’ll keep an ear out.

Mega Man: Dual Override Tokyo Game Show Livestream is Back On

Tokyo Game Show 2026 may be cutting its final day short due to the approaching Typhoon No. 25, but Capcom's Mega Man: Dual Override stage presentation will still go ahead.

Capcom has announced that its TGS 2026 Stage Live Day 3 program will continue in a livestream-only format without a live audience. The Dual Override segment is scheduled to begin at 10:30 AM JST on September 21 (8:30 PM CDT on September 20), featuring  series producer Shingo Izumi, guest Akira Nibu and Rockman Unity administrator Ucchy.

So while there won't be a physical stage at TGS on Monday, the 50-minute Dual Override presentation we were expecting is, for now, still happening online. You can watch it live from the video above!

Mega Man: Dual Override Devs Talk Proto Man, Share New Details

Famitsu and 4Gamer had the chance to sit down and chat all things Dual Override with producer Hiroyuki Minamitani, director Shinya Ikuta, and art directors Yuji Ishihara and Shinsuke Komaki. Chief among the topics discussed was Proto Man, whose gameplay demo, while not available to the public, was shown privately to the press. 

Between the two interviews, a handful of new and interesting details came to light, which I've summarized below!

Mega Man Adventures #0 and Mega Man: Gear Masters #4 Covers, Solicitation

We've got a double dose of comic book updates today as Lunar Distribution has just posted the covers and solicitation for Mega Man Adventures #0 (aka Chapter 56 in Archie Comics numbering) and Mega Man: Gear Masters #4.

Mega Man: Dual Override Proto Man Play Report + New Screenshots

Tokyo Game Show is underway, and select Japanese press got to go hands-on with Proto Man in Twinkle Girl's stage. While it's unclear if he'll be playable in the public show floor demo, these press sessions offered a much deeper look at how he plays.

Life-Size Aluminum Mega Buster on Display at Tokyo Game Show 2026

There's certainly no shortage of Mega Man: Dual Override collaborations and partnerships, and this one certainly falls under the more unusual.

Another Look at Proto Man's Close-Range Attacks in Dual Override

Capcom's Tokyo Game Show Spotlight has come and gone, and there really wasn't too much in the way of Dual Override updates. Director Shinya Ikuta and producer Hiroyuki Minamitani took center stage to talk a little more about what we've already come to learn about the game. Mixed in with some familiar footage, though, were a few new snippets of Proto Man gameplay. You can watch that portion here.

According to Minamitani, compared to Mega Man, Proto Man deals more damage and focuses more on close-range attacks. His Buster shots have limited range, while charging his weapon allows him to unleash a sweeping blade attack.

Other than that, no major new details were revealed during the Spotlight. However, we may learn more during the game's 50-minute stage event on September 21st.

Pragmata x Mega Man DLC Pack Coming September 17

The previously announced Mega Man DLC for Pragmata is coming soon — very soon. The free DLC will be available starting tomorrow, September 17.

We’ve already seen the Mega Man-inspired costumes for Diana and Hugh, but as revealed during the Capcom Tokyo Game Show Spotlight, the pack will also include skins that recreate Mega Man and Roll as we know them.

The pack will also include new music that can be played in the Shelter, as well as Mega Man-inspired gestures for Diana and Cabin.

Mega Man X: Command Mission Now Available on PS4 and PS5

Mega Man X: Command Mission, the 2004 RPG that has never been re-released in any official capacity, is now available for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 for $9.99, or at no additional cost for PlayStation Plus Premium members.

It goes without saying, but this is the PlayStation 2 version of the game, which means the then-console-exclusive Mega Man X8 demo is still intact. As a PS Classic, it does feature a few modern touches, namely upscaled resolution, faster load times and Remote Play. It does not, however, include Trophies. 

For non-PlayStation owners, all we can do for now is hope the game eventually makes its way to other platforms. Capcom has previously expressed interest in re-releasing more titles that aren't available on modern hardware, though for the time being, all efforts appear to be focused on Mega Man: Dual Override.

Pragmata x Mega Man Collaboration Goods Revealed

On the heels of yesterday's Diana and Mega Man artwork, Capcom has unveiled a full lineup of Pragmata x Mega Man goods just in time for Tokyo Game Show. The collection includes an acrylic standee, keychains, coasters, a pin badge, a metallic file and a clear file set.

For now, the collection appears to be exclusive to E-Capcom, though that could change. If it stays that way, international buyers will need to order through ZenMarket, E-Capcom's preferred proxy service.

There's also a good chance some of these items will eventually make their way to stores like Play-Asia, so it may be worth keeping an eye out if you'd rather avoid using a proxy service.

Mega Man: Dual Override Playable Demo Coming to Los Angeles (September 19-20)

Live in or close to Little Tokyo, Los Angeles? Good news: you'll soon have a chance to play Dual Override.

Capcom’s first-ever U.S. pop-up opens at Little Akihabara this weekend, with Dual Override playable on September 19 and 20. This will be the game’s first public demo in the states, though Capcom says participation will be extremely limited.

While the demo will only be up for two days, the pop-up store itself runs through October 18. There will be all kinds of Mega Man goods on sale, as well as life-size statues of Mega Man (and other Capco characters) for photo ops.

The pop-up shop will be open daily from 12:00 PM to 7:00 PM at Little Akihabara Popup Shop & Live (319 E 2nd St. #122, Los Angeles, CA 90012).

Capcom Shares Official Pragmata x Mega Man Art (Updated)

The official Pragmata Twitter account shared a new piece of artwork featuring Diana and Mega Man, continuing what has become a running joke at Capcom.

Illustrated by Yuji Ishihara, the piece depicts Diana in a Mega Man-inspired pose, with the accompanying caption reading, “I tried getting a little closer to the Mega Man style! What do you think?” UPDATE: there's now a second piece! 

The long-running gag that Pragmata was secretly a Mega Man game started as a fan theory a few years ago and has since been embraced by Capcom, complete with an in-game Easter egg and upcoming DLC costumes based on Mega Man and Roll. 

Needless to say, Capcom seems more than happy to keep the mutual love between the two series going!

The Real Names of X's First Four Armors

There are several things in the Mega Man X series that have gone unanswered for decades: What happened to the Classic cast? What happened to Vile Mk-III and IV? Why can General be 7 feet tall in one scene and 50 feet tall the next? The list goes on and on.

Among these mysteries, none is more prevalent than the names of the Armor sets in the first four Mega Man X games. Light or First? Giga or Second? MAX or Third? Force or Fourth? Maybe they’re all the Full Armor? What about Tune-Up Parts? As you can see, it’s become quite a mess over the years.

In the video above, I’ve done my best to get to the bottom of where most of these names came from and which ones fit the story best, so I hope you’ll check it out. Just remember, almost every name is technically right in one way or another (well, except for Giga), so let’s keep it civil.

And a big thank you to Protodude for giving me the chance to share this one on Rockman Corner. I hope you enjoy!

Mega Man: Wily Tower Gets Fan-Made NES Demake

The annual Sonic Amateur Games Expo is in full swing, bringing fans together to showcase fan-made games, demos and mods. Among this year’s projects is a “demake” of Mega Man: Wily Tower, reimagining The Wily Wars’ bonus mode as its own standalone game in traditional 8-bit style.

But it’s more than just a visual makeover. Developed by ThatEntityGirl, the game also includes a number of quality-of-life improvements and bonus features, including a fully playable Proto Man, optional “improved” versions of the weapons, bonus stages, additional bosses, a boss rush mode, cheats and more.

You can download the game from its official SAGE Expo 2026 page here!

Review: Blokees Champion Class Zero (Mega Man Zero)

Blokees really came out of the gate swinging with its first wave of Mega Man model kits. By focusing on characters and designs that rarely receive merchandise, the company immediately stood out from others currently producing Mega Man goods.

Releasing alongside Shooting Star Mega Man is the other half of Wave 1: Zero in his Mega Man Zero design! But is this kit just as good as the last one? After the break, I’ll go over everything you need to know.

Official Rockman EXE Pop Up Shop Coming to Shinjuku

Dual Override may be Capcom's primary focus right now, but there's always room for a little Rockman EXE love. 

Medicos Entertainment has announced an official Rockman EXE pop up coming to Medicos SHOP Shinjuku from October 9th through October 21st, bringing with it a fresh lineup of goods based on new artwork created specifically for the event.

Luminasta MegaMan.EXE Falzar Beast Coming in Early 2027

On the heels of the MegaMan.EXE Gregar Beast figure announced in June, Sega Plaza has revealed that a Luminasta Falzar Beast figure is coming in February 2027. The figure will make its debut in UFO catcher machines across Japan before becoming available online for international markets.

The figure's size has yet to be confirmed, but we can likely expect it to scale closely with Gregar, which stands approximately 17cm tall.

Online preorders should begin soon. We'll update this post with more info as it becomes available!

Mega Man: Dual Override Tokyo Game Show Stage Event Confirmed

Capcom has announced a special Mega Man: Dual Override stage event for September 20 at Tokyo Game Show, featuring a live gameplay session and members of the development team.

The 50-minute presentation will begin at 10:30 AM JST, or 8:30 PM CST, and will feature guest Akari Nibu (“Nibuchan”) trying the game for the first time. She will be joined by Mega Man series producer Shingo Izumi, Dual Override producer Hiroyuki Minamitani, and Rockman Unity’s very own Ucchy-san.

As is typical of these stage events, we can expect the latest news and updates on the game, though exactly what will be shown is anyone’s guess. As previously reported, Dual Override will also have a playable demo on the show floor, once again featuring Twinkle Girl’s stage. It’s currently unknown whether the demo have Mega Man, Proto Man, or both playable.

Mega Man and Proto Man Dual Override Amiibo Announced

During today's Nintendo Direct, in addition to our first look at Proto Man gameplay, Mega Man and Proto Man Amiibo figures were revealed. Both will be available alongside the game when it launches in Spring 2027.

No details about what functionality the Amiibo will have in the game were announced at this time.

Mega Man: Dual Override Proto Man Gameplay Trailer

Our first look at Proto Man in action is here! The latest Mega Man: Dual Override gameplay trailer puts “The Wandering Warrior” front and center, showcasing the unique abilities that set him apart from Mega Man, including a powerful Shield Bash attack. The trailer also includes a sneak peek at a few new stages.

Capcom also confirmed that Mega Man: Dual Override will launch in Spring 2027.

Mega Man: Dual Override Achievements Leaked (Beware Spoilers)

Something appears to be amiss on Steam's backend, with achievements for several unreleased and even unannounced games surfacing on Exophase, a site that tracks Steam achievements. Among them is the complete achievement list for Mega Man: Dual Override, despite the game still being a long way from release.

I won't post the achievements directly here, as they spoil the names of the Robot Masters and other features that have not yet been announced by Capcom. If you want to go into Dual Override completely blind, or simply wait for Capcom to reveal these details on its own terms, be advised that the spoilers are now out there. Major spoiler warning.

LEGO Mega Man, X and Zero Revealed for Fortnite

Mega Man and LEGO are finally collaborating, though perhaps not in the way many fans expected. In addition to the handful of cosmetics coming to Fortnite, officially licensed LEGO versions of Mega Man, X and Zero will also be available later this week.

The LEGO skins can be used in LEGO Fortnite's survival and crafting mode, as well as standard Fortnite Creative or custom modes that support LEGO skins.

All in all, it's great to see Mega Man and LEGO finally doing something together, and hopefully this is a precursor to more collaborations down the road. While not every LEGO skin featured in Fortnite has a corresponding real-world set or kit, some do, so perhaps physical Mega Man LEGO could be in the cards someday.

A Closer Look at the Mega Man Fortnite Cosmetics

Fortnite's Mega Man collaboration is heavily suggested to begin as soon as tomorrow, or within the next couple of days. Ahead of the festivities, several of the event's skins, items and cosmetics have been decrypted, offering our best look yet at what's in store.

X and Zero Are Coming to Fortnite

The Mega Man Fortnite collaboration is expected to begin this week, potentially as soon as tomorrow according to early leaks. And with the crossover seemingly right around the corner, several official Fortnite channels have started teasing even more Mega Man skins.

As seen in the teaser above, X and Zero are joining the fray too!

We should have more details on the collaboration, including an official start date, very soon.

Junko Karashima Confirmed as Mega Man: Dual Override Sound Director

In a new interview with Nintendo Everything, members of the development team confirmed that Junko Karashima is serving as sound director, seemingly taking over the role from Mega Man 11 sound director Ryo Oshii. Karashima has a lengthy list of credits spanning numerous Dance Dance Revolution and beatmania titles, and more recently directed and composed music for Mega Man X DiVE.

When asked who is composing the music for Dual Override, the team did not reveal any individual composers just yet, but they did speak about Karashima’s role and the expectations surrounding the soundtrack:

"What we can say at this point is the sound director of Mega Man: Dual Override is Junko Karashima. She is someone who respects the music of all the other past Mega Man games and understands that there are high expectations and how important music is for a game like Mega Man: Dual Override. The goal is to maintain the things that remain important in a Mega Man game we’re hoping people are really excited for the music in Mega Man: Dual Override."

Nintendo Everything’s full interview with the development team covers several other topics about the game, so be sure to give the full piece a read!

Review: Blokees Shooting Star Mega Man

The Mega Man series and model kits go together like Mac & Cheese. In the 90s, we had Bandai's Mega Armor series, for the past several years, we've had Kotobukiya's kits, and now, Blokees has thrown their hat into the ring. Are these new kits able to stand next to the others? Join me after the break to learn all about Shooting Star Mega Man!

Mega Man X: Command Mission Coming to PlayStation Plus

During today's State of Play, Sony has announced that Mega Man X: Command Mission is finally getting a re-release as part of the growing PlayStation Plus Classics Catalog. The game will arrive sometime later this year for PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers. 

Notably, this will mark the very first re-release of Command Mission since its original launch on PlayStation 2 and Nintendo GameCube in 2004. More than 20 years later!

Sony hasn't announced a specific release date just yet, or if you can purchase the game individually. We'll have more details as they become available!

Blokees "Mega Man: Dimension Cross" Appears in Early Retail Listing

An early retail listing has surfaced for what appears to be a new Blokees Mega Man release titled Mega Man: Dimension Cross. The listing is a blind box of kits under this new Dimension Cross line, with the Mega Man inside being a "Galaxy Version" variant.

At the moment, the listing doesn't provide any images or details about what the kit will actually include. The "Dimension Cross" name is interesting, though, and could potentially point toward a lineup featuring different versions of Mega Man from across the franchise -- classic, X, EXE, etc. That's purely speculation for now, however.

Blokees' Galaxy S Series kits typically stand approximately 11–12 cm (4–4.7 inches) tall, so we can at least get a general idea of the scale.

For now, we'll have to wait and see what Blokees has planned. Given that it's expected to ship in November, an official reveal could be around the corner.
