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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

Shingo Izumi Says Capcom Would ‘Definitely Love’ to Revisit Mega Man X

Game Informer has published a new interview with Mega Man producer Shingo Izumi and Dual Override producer Hiroyuki Minamitani, and tucked away near the end is a small but encouraging comment about the future of the Mega Man X series

When asked whether he would be open to revisiting the series, Shingo Izumi said, "From my perspective, yes, that is something we would definitely love to visit."

"Mega Man X is an important series within the Mega Man brand," he continued. "We definitely value that series, and if there is a chance, we would always love to consider that."

It's not confirmation that a new Mega Man X title is in development, of course. But with Mega Man X8 still standing as the last new mainline entry more than 20 years later, it's certainly nice to hear the current series producer say the series is still valued and something Capcom would like to revisit.

You can read Game Informer's full interview here.

Mega Man X Regenesis Fan-Game Now Available to Download

Mega Man X Regenesis, a new fan-game inspired by the SNES-era Mega Man X titles, is now available as a free download.

Set in an alternate timeline following the original Mega Man X, Regenesis imagines a world where Sigma won, X fell and humanity is nearing extinction. As a last resort, Dr. Cain activates "Project Regenesis," giving X another chance to change the course of history.

It includes eight original Mavericks, new Special Weapons, armor upgrades, an achievement system and more than 25 original music tracks. Visually, it stays close to the SNES games with hand-crafted pixel art, while adding a few modern touches and extra detail.

Mega Man X Regenesis is available now for Windows, Android and Steam Deck/Linux, with a Mac version planned for later. You can check out Mega Man X Regenesis and download it here!

Review: Kotobukiya Iris (X4 Version)

I never thought I'd see the day when we’d get an official Iris figure of any kind, but at long last, after years of near-misses, here we are.

Kotobukiya is back at it with the first-ever figure of the fan-favorite heroine, Iris! Is this the one we've all been waiting for, or is it not worth the legacy of the character? Join me after the break to see everything this model kit has going for it!

First Look at X in Devil May Cry: Peak of Combat

As previously reported, X is coming to Devil May Cry: Peak of Combat as a playable Hunter. With the collaboration seemingly set to launch tomorrow, August 6, NebulaJoy has dropped the teaser trailer above, showing X tearing through enemies to the tune of “Devil Trigger.”

To recap, the collaboration brings alternate looks for X, including his classic blue appearance, the “Tribute to the Fallen” skin unlocked through Hunter progression, and the event-based “SE DIVE VER.” skin. He’ll also wield a new weapon, the Sniper Buster.

Elsewhere, players can collect five Mega Man X-themed Runes and take part in a new event called “DiVE Deep,” featuring three story chapters and a showdown with Sigma. A new Boss Hunt opponent and additional limited-time event content are also part of the collaboration.

The Sniper Buster also has its own “Ultimate Blast” skin tied to weapon progression.

Hiya Toys Max Armor X Pre-Orders Now Available

Hot on the heels of its San Diego Comic-Con reveal, Hiya Toys has released full-color stock images of Max Armor X and opened pre-orders. Talk about a fast turnaround!

Due to ship in Q3 2027, Max Armor X stands approximately 14.7 cm tall and faithfully recreates the fan-favorite armor from Mega Man X3. The figure includes three interchangeable faceplates, six hand parts, an interchangeable X-Buster, two effect parts and a Z-Saber.

In typical Hiya Toys fashion, the figure also comes with a separate magnetic Hiya badge that interacts with the X-Buster. Bringing the badge close activates three lighting modes: flashing, breathing and steady. Together, they recreate the effect of X charging his weapon before firing.

Pre-orders are currently available directly through Hiya Toys and Big Bad Toystore.

According to Threezero, the figure will be available in limited quantities at ACGHK 2026 and ChinaJoy 2026 on a first-come, first-served basis. At this time, there are no plans for a wider release, nor any indication that the figure will appear at events more accessible to fans in other regions.
