Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection Debuts at #2 in Physical Sales in Japan (Update)

During its first week on sale in Japan, Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection debuted at No. 2, selling 18,238 units on Nintendo Switch, according to Famitsu. Among new releases, it was the week’s top-performing title, finishing behind only the juggernaut that is Pokemon Pokopia.

The PlayStation 5 version did not appear in the top 10, but demand for the collection appears to be strong on both platforms. Capcom confirmed last night that most, if not all, physical copies across Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5 have sold out throughout Japan, with new stock expected by late April. (UPDATE: Famitsu has expanded their chart to include PlayStation 5 shipments - 2,189 units. Combined sales is 20,427 units)

Although Star Force Legacy Collection opened below Battle Network Legacy Collection’s Japanese debut of 60,246 physical units across Switch and PS4 in 2023, that gap may say as much about supply as demand. With Capcom now moving to restock Star Force Legacy Collection, it seems likely the company underestimated interest and shipped too few physical copies to meet it.

As for digital sales, and how the collection may be performing outside Japan, there's no clear picture yet. If the game reaches a major sales milestone, as Battle Network Legacy Collection did when it surpassed one million copies sold through in its first two weeks, Capcom will likely share the news through a press release or on social media. We'll be keeping tabs.

Capcom Reveals Full Mega Man: Dual Override Key Art

Rockman Unity’s Ucchy-san shared a look at the special Dual Override keychain on Twitter earlier today. The item can be scanned with an NFC-compatible device to access AR content, but Ucchy-san's photos also happened to reveal something equally noteworthy: a full, uncropped view of Mega Man’s key art, offering the clearest look so far at his new design.

The piece appears to be drawn by Yuji Ishihara, best known as the primary art designer for Mega Man 11. His new take on Mega Man seems to expand on that earlier work with extra panel lines and mechanical detail, particularly across the torso, legs, and feet. The Mega Buster also looks much larger than usual (compare it with Mega Man 11's here). Whether that change is purely stylistic or hints at something specific in Dual Override is still unclear.

The NFC Dual Override keychain is expected to ship on October 15, 2026.

Kotobukiya Mega Man 11 Oshi Works Figures Revealed

Kotobukiya has revealed a new Mega Man 11 figure line under its Oshi Works label, with Mega Man, Roll, Dr. Light, and Dr. Wily planned as part of a coordinated set running through early 2027.

The Oshi Works line is geared toward display rather than play, with each figure standing between 7.1 and 8.66 inches tall with no articulation. The focus here seems to be on presentation, with detailed paintwork and clear parts used to better highlight each character. Another nice touch is the use of magnets, letting you secure and reposition the figures to better suit your display.

Pre-orders are available here:

• Mega Man
• Roll
• Dr. Light & Dr. Wily Set

Mega Man kicks off the line in November 2026, followed by Roll in December 2026. Dr. Light and Dr. Wily are both slated for January 2027.

Mega Man Producer Shingo Izumi Wants to Alternate Between New Games and Collections

Following Kazuhiro Tsuchiya’s departure in 2022, Shingo Izumi has taken on a larger role in guiding Mega Man's future as the franchise's new lead producer. With Star Force Legacy Collection out the door and Dual Override still in development, the immediate roadmap is clear. 

But in a new interview with 80 Level, Izumi also spoke a bit about how Capcom is thinking about the series as it approaches its 40th anniversary.

With Mega Man approaching its 40th anniversary, how do you see the franchise evolving? What role do projects like Legacy Collections play in shaping its future alongside new titles?

Shingo Izumi: We intend to continue expanding the fan base while carefully preserving the appeal and value of the brand and pursuing new challenges. Our immediate focus is to ensure the success of Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection and Mega Man: Dual Override, and to build a strong foundation that connects to the future.

At the same time, we believe that collection titles play a significant role in revitalizing a brand, while also serving an important purpose in preserving and passing down game culture as part of its historical legacy. Ideally, we would like to release new titles and collection titles consistently, alternating between the two over time.

Izumi's interest in alternating between new titles and collections may offer the clearest hint yet at what Capcom wants Mega Man's release cadence to look like going forward. If they can follow through, that kind of consistency would go a long way toward supporting its goal of growing the series into a core IP. While the current “evergreen” approach has helped sustain the franchise in recent years, the demand for new games sooner rather than later is clear.

For more from Izumi and comments from Koji Oda, including some behind-the-scenes discussion about Star Force Legacy Collection, you can read the full interview at 80 Level.

First Mega Man: Dual Override Goods Coming in October

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.

Shingo Izumi Says Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection Success Could Inspire Star Force 4

Mega Man producer Shingo Izumi has shed a little more light on why Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection came together, and what its success could mean for the future of the series.

Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection is Now Available

We have liftoff! Today is launch day for Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection. The game is available now on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

To celebrate, there are a few launch-day extras worth checking out. Capcom has shared a special commemorative illustration by Shingo Adachi and Masaya Itagaki featuring Geo and friends, Twitch is offering an exclusive badge, and Udon Entertainment is dropping a limited edition set of Star Force pins at 10:00 AM PT.

Have fun out there, and enjoy jumping back into the world of Star Force!

Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection Sonia and Luna DLC Pack Arrives Tomorrow

For one reason or another, Capcom does not seem eager for fans to know that Luna Platz and Sonia Strumm can be selected as main menu navigators in Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection. Earlier this month, they asked us to remove footage of the two in action and also requested that certain Japanese news sites strip out references to them.

Now, with the game launching very soon, it looks like Capcom is finally preparing to make it official. A DLC pack for Luna and Sonia has appeared on the Japanese Nintendo Switch eShop, where its listed for release on March 27th at 300 yen. The pack is not currently visible on English storefronts, but chances are good it will show up sometime tomorrow.

As previously reported, Luna and Sonia feature commentary on the main menu performed by their original English and Japanese voice actors. Players can swap between them at any time with the press of a button. Other previously confirmed menu navigators include Geo in his everyday clothes and Omega-Xis.

Mega Man Festival Begins in Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds

In case you missed it, the Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Mega Man DLC Pack is now available, bringing both Mega Man and Proto Man to the track. To celebrate, CrossWorlds is hosting a limited-time "Mega Man Festival" this weekend, running from March 26 at 8:00 PM ET through March 29 at 7:59 PM ET.

By taking part in the event, players can earn Festival Points and redeem them for a batch of Mega Man-themed goodies, including the Blue Flash title card, decals, a themed horn effect, and the new Item Buster Kit Gadget (pictured above). 

These rewards could potentially be offered again down the line, but for now, this weekend’s event is the only way to grab them.

Blokees Teases Mega Man X Figures

The previously announced Mega Man Star Force and Mega Man Zero Blokees made another appearance at the 2026 BLOKEES Global Partners Conference. While no new information was shared on either figure, Blokees also casually confirmed that Mega Man X Blokees are in production, with the series logo and a simple “coming soon” displayed at the event.

No other details were revealed, so here’s hoping we won’t have to wait too long to hear more.

Dr. Wily is Getting His Own One-Shot From Udon This Summer

Dr. Wily will headline his own standalone story, written by Tavis Maiden with artwork by Ryan Jampole, Udon Entertainment has confirmed. 

Here's the official solicitation:

Dr. Albert Wily, the (self-proclaimed) world's greatest scientist stars in his own 1-shot adventure! Dr. Wily's ultimate scheme is about to be revealed, with only one thing standing in his way... the annoyingly "heroic" robot known as Mega Man!

Cover A comes from Ryan Jampole, with Cover B by Jeffrey “Chamba” Cruz and Cover C by Tavis Maiden. Rounding things out, Cover D—Udon’s first-ever Mega Man “swimsuit” cover—is illustrated by Andrew Dickman.

If that doesn’t get your gears turning, this might: Udon tells me this one-shot serves as a prelude to a new, currently unannounced classic Mega Man mini-series set after Mega Man Timelines #1. More details on that front in the near future.

Dr. Wily #1 s currently scheduled to hit stores on June 17, 2026.

Mega Man Star Force ~(Re)Birthday~ One-Shot Manga Now Available

Titled Mega Man Star Force ~(Re)Birthday~, the new 32-page story takes place one year after the events of Star Force 3. Geo and the gang reunite to celebrate his 12th birthday, but the festivities take a turn when a fragment of Meteor G is discovered near the Whazzap Ruins.

Street Fighter 6 Announces Mega Man Star Force & Battle Network Collaboration

With almost two weeks to go until Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection launches, Capcom is kicking promotion into higher gear with a full-on Street Fighter 6 collaboration.

Starting March 17th, players who log in will receive a batch of Star Force and Battle Network-themed items, including helmets and even Mr. Famous’s lab coat. The Battle Hub will also get a makeover, presumably themed around Star Force and/or Battle Network, along with a special Street Voter event. 

Check out the collaboration trailer below!

CoroCoro Comic Teases New Mega Man Star Force One-Shot Manga

Good news for fans of Mega Man Star Force and manga author Ryo Takamisaki: a brand-new one-sho is set to debut March 19th on Weekly CoroCoro’s website according to a Star Force Legacy Collection preview in the latest issue of CoroCoro Comic.

While best known for his Battle Network manga, Takamisaki previously dipped into the Star Force series in 2008 with a short two-chapter adaptation of Mega Man Star Force 3. The scope of this new one-shot, as well as its story, has not yet been revealed. It's also unclear whether an official English translation will be released, something Capcom USA previously provided for Takamisaki’s Battle Network Legacy Collection reunion one-shot.

CoroCoro also notes that a new commemorative illustration by Masaya Itagaki will be posted to Weekly CoroCoro’s site on March 23rd. The small image next to the QR code in the article appears to be a teaser of that illustration.

Ben Diskin Not Returning to Voice Mega Man in Dual Override

Following SAG-AFTRA’s “Do Not Work” order for Mega Man: Dual Override, Ben Diskin, the English voice actor for Mega Man, has announced that he will no longer voice the character and will not be returning for Dual Override.

SAG-AFTRA Issues "Do Not Work" Order for Mega Man: Dual Override (Updated)

The Screen Actors Guild American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) has issued a “Do Not Work” order for Mega Man: Dual Override, instructing union members to withhold any voice acting performance work until further notice. The notice, published March 9th, says the producer “failed to initiate the signatory process.”

In simple terms, SAG-AFTRA says the production has not properly started the process required to become a union-signatory project. According to SAG-AFTRA, producers must begin that process through its signatory system, and Global Rule One requires members to work only under union contracts.

The notice does not indicate how much voice work had already been completed (although we did hear a tiny bit in the Video Game Awards reveal trailer back in December). But what it does show is that there is currently a contract issue tied to the project’s union status. If that issue is resolved, the order could be lifted. 

At this time, there is nothing to suggest the notice will impact Dual Override's overall development, as it appears to primarily concern the English voice performance side of production. The game remains in development and is still scheduled for release in 2027.

UPDATE: Ben Diskin, Mega Man's voice actor, has exited the game over union-related concerns.

We’ll keep an eye on the situation and share any updates from SAG-AFTRA or Capcom.

Rockman x Hololive Collaboration Teased

Capcom has quietly confirmed a Rockman collaboration with hololive in Japan. The teaser appeared on Capcom’s official amusement campaign site over the weekend, with Rockman announced as the first entry in the company’s 2026 hololive collaboration lineup. 

At the moment, Capcom has not announced which hololive talents are involved or what the collaboration will actually include. Based on where the teaser was posted, this looks to be tied to Capcom’s amusement and retail side in Japan, so goods, prize items, or store campaign material seem most likely.

For those unfamiliar, hololive is a major VTuber agency operated by Cover Corporation. Its roster is made up of virtual streamers and performers who appear in livestreams, concerts, merchandise campaigns, and crossover promotions with other brands.

We’ll keep an eye out for the full reveal and update you when more information is announced.

ThreeZero MDLX Hyper Bomb Mega Man Pre-orders Open March 11

ThreeZero has shared a handful of images of their next entry in its MDLX Mega Man line: Hyper Bomb Mega Man. With Bomb Man’s signature weapon in hand, this one looks to be another solid addition to the line.

Hyper Bomb Mega Man stands about 4 inches (10.2 cm) tall and features around 34 points of articulation. Accessories include three faceplates, the Hyper Bomb, a Rock Buster forearm that can be swapped onto either arm, interchangeable ignited and dormant bomb fuses, and three sets of hands (open, fists, and throwing-pose). Magnets are also built into the feet for attaching to metal surfaces.

Hyper Bomb Mega Man is expected to be available to pre-order on March 11th through the ThreeZero Store and their usual distribution partners.

Mega Man: Dual Override Robot Master Silhouettes Revealed

During today’s Capcom Spotlight, Mega Man series producer Shingo Izumi and Dual Override producer Hiroyuki Minamitani not only revealed the six finalists in the Robot Master Design Contest, but also showed the silhouettes of seven Robot Masters that the winning entry will appear alongside.

We love a good silhouette around here. They’re perfect fuel for speculation. There's a little guy on the far left, a two-headed bot, and... is that a witch and broom in the middle? A lot going on here!

Izumi and Minamitani also noted that more updates on Dual Override will be shared in the near future, so we may not have to wait long to learn their identities.

Mega Man: Dual Override Robot Master Design Contest Six Finalists Revealed

Mega Man Nominated for World Video Game Hall of Fame

Well, this is a pleasant surprise. Mega Man has been named one of the 2026 nominees for induction into the World Video Game Hall of Fame at The Strong’s National Museum of Play in Rochester, New York.

The franchise was nominated for its influence on both popular culture and the video game industry. Mega Man is facing some stiff competition, though. Other nominees include Dragon Quest, Angry Birds, Frogger, FIFA International Soccer, Galaga, League of Legends, PaRappa the Rapper, RuneScape, Silent Hill, Skyrim, and Tokimeki Memorial. Each nominee is evaluated based on four criteria: icon status, longevity, geographical reach, and influence.

If you’d like to support Mega Man, you can cast your vote here. Voting is open now through March 12. The final inductees will be revealed during an on-site ceremony at The Strong National Museum of Play on Thursday, May 7.

Shingo Izumi: No Current Plans for a Mega Man Legends Collection, But It's Possible

Image: ようがす

In an interview with RPG Site, Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection producer Shingo Izumi was asked about the possibility of a Mega Man Legends collection, now that every other Mega Man series has been re-released on modern platforms.

RPG Site: I have to ask this. You will have now released Mega Man Legacy Collections of the Classic, X, Zero, ZX, Battle Network, and Star Force series. Only the Mega Man Legends series remains. Are you also planning to release a Mega Man Legends Legacy Collection?

Shingo Izumi: At this time, there are no plans to do so. However, as mentioned in a prior response, when we consider new collection projects in the future, a Mega Man Legends collection would also be one of the possible candidates.

While this may be a little frustrating to hear, plans can change. The demand for a hypothetical Legends Legacy Collection is certainly there. Leaving it behind feels like a missed opportunity.

For now, Izumi and his team are focused on Dual Override, so we’ll have to wait and see what the future holds.

Sonia and Luna Return as 3D Navigators in Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection (Update)

UPDATE: At Capcom's request, the original video has been set to private. In the meantime, we have some screenshots to tide you over.

Original Story: With less than a month to go until launch, a few more surprises are starting to surface for Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection. In addition to Star Force Mega Man/Geo and Omega-Xis serving as the game’s main menu navigators, players can also choose Luna Platz or Sonia Strumm. Each character comes with a handful of new voice lines, with their respective anime voice actors reprising their roles.

It’s not yet clear how the pair are unlocked. Capcom hasn’t said whether they’ll be available from the start, unlocked in-game, or offered as DLC. In the meantime, you can see them in action in the video above!

Rockman Tennis Gets English Fan-Translation

Thanks to Muttvil and frigamarrymepls, Rockman Tennis now has an English patch, available from the Keitai World Launcher. 

Originally released in Japan in 2007 for i-mode devices, the game was preserved in 2024 and can now be played in English for the first time. Since much of the game’s text exists as image files, Muttvil went the extra mile to properly recreate and convert those assets for the translation. It even includes a localized English title screen!

Rockman Tennis features seven playable characters, each with their own stats and unique special moves. layers can compete in League Battle mode across four different cups or set up custom matches in Free Battle mode. Winning matches earns Screws, which can be spent at Rightot’s shop on various upgrades and items. X is also unlockable, marking the first time classic Mega Man and X appeared together in the same game.

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.

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!

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

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.

X and Zero Capcorom Plushies Revealed

Capcom has revealed two new additions to their growing line of Capcorom plushies: X and Zero. 

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.

Right now, pre-orders are live through Big Bad Toy Store, HobbyLink Japan and Kotobukiya US (comes with an exclusive acrylic print plate) with an expected release in August 2026. Other retailers should open up order shortly.

By way of Preternia, we’ve got an updated look at Rush, Bomb Man, and Guts Man from Wave 5 of Jada Toys' Mega Man line, including a preview of the near-final packaging and accessory loadouts.

Bomb Man and Guts Man’s extras were mostly expected, but Rush’s set is now fully confirmed. He comes with an alternate head, two versions of Rush Coil, Rush Jet with optional thruster effect parts, a dog bone, plus two new Mega Man head sculpts and two Mega Man hand parts: one pointing and one clenched fist.

All three figures are expected to arrive sometime later this year. More updates as they come!

Three years ago, GoodTofuFriday and the BCS preservation team set out to extract Rockman EXE: Battle Chip Stadium from its native, aging arcade hardware. While the game was successfully and safely ripped, it wasn’t in a playable state. 

But today, I’m pleased to report that the game is not only fully playable on an emulator, but available to download right now!

Mega Man Series Sales Top 44 Million Units

Capcom released their Q3 fiscal 2025 financial results today, reporting that the Mega Man series has reached 44 million units sold as of December 31, 2025. In comparison, Capcom’s annual report published on May 13 listed the series at 43 million units sold as of March 31, 2025.

Over the past four years, the franchise has grown from 38 million to 44 million units, reflecting steady momentum driven by Legacy Collections, sustained evergreen marketing, cross-media collaborations, and ongoing merchandise. With Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection launching on March 27 this year and Mega Man: Dual Override planned for 2027, things are only set to get better.

Look forward to more exciting news throughout the year!
