Mega Man Orchestra Concert Tickets Now Available for International Fans

If you don't want to miss out on the Mega Man 40th anniversary orchestra in Japan, we've got some good news to share.

Tickets are now being offered through Tickets in Japan, a service designed to make purchasing tickets for Japanese events easier for international visitors. The website is available in English and supports international payments.

As previously reported, the concert, titled A Musical Journey Through 40 Years of Mega Man, will celebrate the franchise's history with orchestral performances of music from across the series, including Mega Man, Mega Man X, Mega Man Zero, Mega Man ZX, Mega Man Legends, Mega Man Battle Network, and Mega Man Star Force.

You can find ticket information and purchasing details here. Be aware that availability may vary, so be sure to check the listing before making any travel plans.

Unreleased Ruby-Spears Mega Man Plushies Discovered

We've seen a handful of unreleased merchandise from the Ruby-Spears Mega Man animated series over the years, but none quite so... cute.

A 1995 Bandai America sales pamphlet has surfaced showing off a series of seemingly unreleased plushies based on Mega Man, Rush, Proto Man and Cut Man. The plushies were produced by Bandai, who held the primary merchandise license for the show, and would have stood 7 inches tall.

Although there's no evidence that these ever made it to retail, it's worth pointing out that development appears to have progressed far enough for product samples to be photographed. The line even had its own UPC and shipping specs, suggesting they were being prepped for wholesale orders.

So who knows? Maybe a few of these little guys are sitting in a warehouse somewhere, waiting to be discovered. Stranger things have happened. You can check out some other unreleased and rare Ruby-Spears Mega Man material in the archive!

Mega Man: Dual Override Demo & Panel Confirmed for TwitchCon in November

Another month, another opportunity to play Mega Man: Dual Override! Capcom USA has announced that a playable demo of the game will be available to attendees of TwitchCon San Diego from November 13th through the 15th. The contents of the demo have not been disclosed.

What's more, Capcom has also announced a Dual Override panel for November 15th. What exactly will be shown is anyone's guess, but if the recent trend of monthly Robot Master reveals is anything to go by, we might just see the next bot unveiled at the show.

We'll keep an ear out.

Mega Man Soccer Rated in Korea

Having long been overlooked in past collections, Mega Man Soccer may finally be heading to modern platforms.

The Game Rating and Administration Committee of Korea has rated dozens of classic NES and SNES Capcom games, including Mega Man Soccer. The game appeared alongside several other newly rated Mega Man titles, including Mega Man 1–5 and Mega Man X.

Because these games have been rated individually, it stands to reason that they may be released separately in some form rather than as part of a traditional compilation. One possibility is that Capcom is preparing something akin to Capcom Arcade Stadium, where individual games could be purchased as DLC. If that's the case, Mega Man Soccer could be one of them.

Of course, nothing has been officially announced just yet, so it's anyone's guess what Capcom has planned. Hopefully, we won't have to wait too long for this mystery to be solved.

Here's the Full Mega Man: Dual Override Title Theme

The NFC-enabled Mega Man and Proto Man keychains we talked about a few months ago are now available in Japan. When scanned, they let you take pictures with the boys while music from Dual Override plays on a loop.

As it turns out, that music is the full, unedited title theme, which we've only heard in bits and pieces until now. You can give it a listen here!

The rip comes courtesy of ChosenFluffy, who owns the Proto Man version of the keychain. I've also been able to confirm that the Mega Man version plays the exact same theme, so there's no difference between the two in that regard.

Enjoy!

Mega Man 11 Is a Prize in McDonald’s Monopoly Golden Edition in Canada

Perhaps as part of Capcom’s ongoing push to get Mega Man in front of bigger audiences, the company has partnered with McDonald’s once again. This time, Mega Man 11 is the only video game up for grabs through McDonald’s Monopoly Golden Edition promotion in Canada.

As of this writing, there are reportedly just 2,437 copies of the game available to win through the McDonald’s app, according to the official game board. It’s unclear which platforms are being offered, or whether the prize is a physical or digital copy.

Capcom previously partnered with McDonald’s Japan in May 2026 for a special updated version of “Can’t Beat Air Man,” created to promote the chain’s premium iced coffee.

ThreeZero MDLX Max Armor X Announced

There’s no stopping the ThreeZero train. While we wait for the next round of figures to start shipping, the company has already revealed what’s coming next: Max Armor X from Mega Man X3.

ThreeZero shared a render of the figure on Twitter alongside the announcement, confirming only that it’s currently in development. Details such as accessories, pricing, and a release window will presumably come later.

For now, though, it’s looking pretty nifty!

Hiya Toys MegaMan.EXE Now Available to Pre-Order

Not only has Hiya Toys shared a bunch of images of the final, colored MegaMan.EXE Exquisite Basic Series figure, but it's also available to pre-order from Big Bad ToyStore. 

Rockman Poker and More Mobile Games Preserved

We have another round of successfully preserved, previously Japan-only Rockman mobile games for you to play. This time, the lineup includes Rockman Poker, a 2005 mobile port of Rockman 3, and a trial version of Rockman X2.

Rockman Poker was uncovered after Penguinstrain went back through GoodTofuFriday’s dump of Midori’s phone, the very same device that provided us with Rockman DASH: Adventure on the 5 Islands. Rockman Poker was overlooked during the original extraction because the scripts being used at the time were still being refined and weren’t catching everything stored on the device.

Also recovered is the 2005 mobile port of Rockman 3, along with a trial version of Rockman X2. The latter is not the full game and only includes the opening stage, but it’s another piece of Capcom’s old Japanese mobile catalog that’s now accessible again.

All three games are playable through the Keitai World Launcher emulator.

Big thanks to RockmanCosmo for the heads up!

Capcom’s Late ’90s Daily Diary Images Have Been Preserved

Back in the late '90s, Capcom's Japanese website hosted a neat little feature called the Capcom Daily Diary.

Running from October 6, 1997 to October 1, 1999, the page was updated by various Capcom staff members with short entries, behind-the-scenes photos and plenty of doodles. The timing is especially interesting for Mega Man fans, as the diary launched during the series' 10th anniversary and overlapped with the development and release of Mega Man Legends, The Misadventures of Tron Bonne and Rockman Complete Works 1~6. 

While many of the diary entries can still be read through the Wayback Machine, most of the images that originally accompanied them were not preserved. Thankfully, the images haven't been completely lost to time. A large handful of surviving images from the Capcom Daily Diary were generously donated to Rockman Corner by reader Ravi, and we've put them together in a Drive archive for anyone who wants to browse through them here: the Capcom Daily Diary image archive

There's a lot to dig through here beyond Mega Man, making it a fun little snapshot of Capcom's late '90s crew just doing their thing.  And if anyone recognizes something in these photos, has a little more context to add, or knows of anything we're missing, definitely feel free to reach out.

Review: Mega Man Adventures Vol.1

There really is nothing quite like sitting down with a good book, and with the weather starting to cool down, it's the perfect time to sit back and lose yourself in a good story. Thankfully, the Mega Man series has plenty of good stories to tell, including the Archie Comics Mega Man run.

Is this hardcover release worth the price of admission? Join me after the break to find out!
