Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection Screenshots, Art


Captured from the extended Japanese trailer, I've compiled a batch of screenshots from Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection and high-resolution art assets provided by Capcom. 

The footage covered a few features not confirmed in Capcom's initial press release, including multiple screen orientation options, upscaled 3D models, the return of Battle Network Legacy Collection's "smooth" filter, a music player, and more.

Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection Announced (Update)

 

UPDATE: Extended Japanese trailer added. International version here.

Every Mega Man Star Force game compiled together in one package! Capcom has announced Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection, coming in 2026 to Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5 (and PS4), Xbox Series and Steam.

Details are limited for now, but it’s confirmed the collection will include online features, such as Battle Card trading and online battles. However, crossplay and cross-saves between platforms won’t be supported.

More updates as they come. Stay tuned!

Review: Kotobukiya Axl White Version

The Mega Man X series is famous for many things, but one of the most distinctive elements is the variety of Armors worn by its characters. X is the face of this tradition, though Zero, Vile, and Sigma have each sported multiple designs over the years. Then there’s the most enigmatic member of the cast: Axl. In Mega Man X8, Axl received a mysterious upgrade known only as “???”—better remembered by fans as White Axl. For over two decades, this design has gone without a proper figure, until now. To my surprise, Kotobukiya has finally answered the call. We know their track record speaks for itself, but just how impressive is this release? Let’s take a closer look!

Kotobukiya Announces "Zero 1st Ver." Model Kit (Update)


After Monday’s tease, Kotobukiya officially announced a new Zero model kit today. As expected, it’s the first version of Zero from the original Mega Man X game.

Kotobukiya Hints at New Mega Man X Series Kit With “Iron Pipe” Tease

Kotobukiya Japan dropped a cheeky tease on Twitter, posting a picture of an iron pipe accessory alongside the caption: “New info from the Rockman X plastic model series! At long last, a new product… the ‘Iron Pipe’ is getting a release!? It’s just an iron pipe, but as a plastic model… what could this mean!? Details will be revealed on Wednesday, September 3, 2025, so please look forward to it!”

So, why an iron pipe? Fans will recall that Zero wielded one during his very first encounter with Sigma in the events leading up to Mega Man X1. That makes this tease easy to read as either a nod to a potential pre-X1 Zero kit (with the pipe as an accessory) or as an add-on for the already-announced Sigma kit. But given that the tweet carefully described it as a new product the wording feels very deliberate. 

Either way, the mystery won’t last long; we’ll know for sure in just a few days.

Mega Man Legends PC Port Gets Unofficial Repack, Playable on Modern Hardware

Where Capcom slacks, fans are more than happy to pick up the slack. That old adage rings true today with news that the 2001 PC port of Mega Man Legends has been repackaged and fixed to run on modern machines thanks to KuroRaiden

With the help of DxWrapper, he’s created a build that works on Windows 10 and 11 while also resolving long-standing compatibility issues. The update eliminates forced auto-fullscreen and, by including the “Unfinished Business” patch, replaces the port’s low-quality audio files with high-quality WAVs sourced from the original PlayStation release. The repack also adds Xinput-to-Dinput support.

As for Steam Deck compatibility, KuroRaiden notes that it’s doable, though it may require tinkering with GE-Proton and other Wine layers. 

Until an official re-release surfaces on something like GOG, this is a nice hassle-free option. Download it here!

KuroRaiden is available on Twitter and Bluesky for support and troubleshooting. Let him know if you run into any issues!

Mr. Mega Man, Little Mega Man Volume 2 Delayed to Late November


Those who've pre-order Mr. Mega Man Volume 2 and Little Mega Man Volume 2 are receiving alerts from Amazon that the books are now expected to ship on November 25th. They were previously expected to release in late July.

In the meantime, here are the official solicitations:

Mr. Mega Man Volume 2 - When Mega Man grows up, he must face his greatest challenge of all... life as an adult! The battles with Dr. Wily are in the past, and Mega Man has grown up in a peaceful world. Now spending his days as a dentist, Mega Man has begun to notice a rise in strange, robot-related incidents. As a result, he must once again use his great power to protect the world and uncover the mastermind behind this mystery…

Little Mega Man Volume 2 - The endless battle between Dr. Light and Mega Man continues! The Blue Bomber encounters more wacky new robots such as… Demon Man! Sushi Man! Plasma TV Man…? Plus, meet the very shiny European Mega Man! And is that… X and ZERO!? It’s all-out zany adventures in LITTLE MEGA MAN!

Release dates for third and final volumes of each series have not yet been confirmed, but it’s likely we can expect them in early 2026 at this rate.

Thanks to Eric for the tip!

Fan-Mod Restores Street Fighter V Content to Mega Man X DiVE Offline

When Mega Man X DiVE Offline launched in 2023, it stripped away crossover content from the original online version. One of the biggest omissions was the Street Fighter V collaboration, which introduced Ryu, Chun-Li, and Akuma as playable characters along with 18 themed cards tied to the event.

Thanks to the Derivative Works team, a new mod brings the Street Fighter V collaboration back to the Steam version of Mega Man X DiVE Offline. It’s available on Nexusmods, complete with setup instructions. After installation, players can visit the Collab Character Store to obtain Memory Fragments for Ryu, Chun-Li, and Akuma to unlock the fighters.

If you run into any issues or just want to check out Derivative Works' other X DiVE mods, hit them up on Discord!
