McDonald's Japan Teasing Rockman Collaboration

The official McDonald’s Japan Twitter account has posted a teaser image featuring the unmistakable silhouette of Rockman’s classic 8-bit sprite, drink in hand. No additional details have been shared yet, but it suggests some kind of Rockman-themed tie-in is on the way.

If this sounds familiar, McDonald’s Japan previously teamed up with Capcom for a Street Fighter collaboration in 2025. That campaign brought limited-time “Street Burgers” inspired by Ryu, Chun-Li, and Ken, along with special Street Fighter 6 tie-in content.

Whether this Rockman tease points to a themed menu item, merchandise, or something else entirely remains to be seen. Hopefully we won't have to wait too long to find out...

Udon's Mega Man X Comics Will Now Release Digitally Same Day as Print

Earlier this year, Neon Ichiban partnered with Udon Entertainment to distribute Mega Man comics digitally, with new issues originally planned to arrive one month after their print release. Starting this week, though, that rollout strategy is changing for the better.

Neon Ichiban has confirmed that, beginning with Mega Man X #3, Udon's Mega Man X comics will now launch on the platform on the same day as their print release. According to Neon Ichiban, the update came after some successful "sweet talk" with Udon. As of today, both Mega Man X #3 and Mega Man X #2 are available on the platform.

Whether this new arrangement will carry over to future Mega Man comics remains to be seen, but for now, it's definitely a win.

Another Look at Kotobukiya Decoction Fourth Armor X

Back in February, Kotobukiya finally pulled back the curtain on the mysterious silhouette that had been teasing fans for the past couple of years. In a reveal few saw coming, the company unveiled a brand-new, large-scale Fourth Armor X kit for its premium Decoction line. 

Now, to coincide with the Shizuoka Hobby Show, Kotobukiya has shared two crisp high-resolution images of the prototype mold, giving us a better look at the kit. That said, finer details like pricing and a release window are still being kept under wraps.

More details as they become available!

Officially-Licensed Mega Man Gaming Watch Announced

Need more Mega Man 2 in your life? Look no further, friend. Capcom has teamed up with My Play Watch to release an official digital gaming watch that includes a "reimagined" version of Mega Man 2 adapted for one-hand play. 

The watch includes a few different ways to play. Classic Mode lets you pick from multiple Robot Master stages, take down bosses, etc. Arcade Mode strings stages together with increasing speed and difficulty, with a scoring system as the main hook. There’s also Play Time Mode, which is less “game” and more animated Mega Man watch faces, complete with pixel art and themed displays.

Beyond Mega Man 2, it does the usual digital watch things too: time keeping, step tracking, heart rate monitoring, and calories. There’s no Bluetooth, no Wi-Fi, no notifications, and no apps so if you're looking to replace your smartwatch with this, maybe don't.

The watch is currently available to pre-order exclusively from GameStop for $79.99. It's expected to ship on June 16th.

To whet your appetite, writer Daniel Arseneault has shared a pair of preview pages from the issue, along with the following tease:

“Set during Mega Man 7, Dr. Light is repairing the recently damaged Bass that Mega Man found, but what is Bass really planning? Will Proto Man be able to stop him?”

Free Comic Book Day takes place Saturday, May 2nd, at participating comic shops and libraries.

X-Plus Gigantic Series Roll Reissue Announced

Earlier this month, X-Plus announced plans to reissue its Gigantic Series Rockman figure. Now, Roll is joining him, with a reissue of the 11.8 inch figure planned for release in August.
