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.

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.

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!

Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 Sales Top 1 Million Units

Capcom has updated its Platinum Titles chart for the fiscal year, which lists software that has sold one million or more units worldwide. As of June 30th 2025, Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 has reached one million cumulative sales across PlayStation 4, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PC. It’s the latest addition to the growing club of million-selling Mega Man games—becoming the sixth in the past decade and the tenth overall to surpass the milestone.

Franchise-wide sales for Mega Man remain at 43 million units, holding steady from the previous quarter. Meanwhile, other past entries continued to gain ground: Mega Man X Legacy Collection 1 climbed to 1.5 million units (up 100K), and Mega Man X Legacy Collection 2 rose to 1.1 million (up 100K).

Capcom Once Again Reaffirms Mega Man’s Importance at Shareholder Meeting

During the Q&A session at the 46th Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders, Capcom reiterated that Mega Man remains an important part of its portfolio. As with a similar statement made in 2024, the company confirmed that while no new announcements can be made at this time, the series continues to be a key element of its global strategy.

The company also highlighted the growing international demand for Mega Man merchandise and plans to continue expanding this business in the future.

Mega Man Series Sales Top 43 Million

Capcom announced today through its financial results that the Mega Man series has sold a total of 43 million units as of March 31, 2025. The previously reported number, back in July 2024, was 42 million.

Despite the fact that the last game released was Mega Man XDIVE Offline in August 2023 for PC and mobile devices, the franchise continues to grow thanks to the most recent collection, Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection, and the ongoing sales of Mega Man 11 and other Legacy Collections.

On the horizon, while we wait for a new game to be announced, we can look forward to UDON's Mega Man Timelines comic book series.

Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection Sales Top 1.60 Million

Tucked away in Capcom's Q3 FY2024 supplemental materials, it’s confirmed that Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection has sold 1.60 million units (up 200,000 units from previous report). This figure represents the combined sales of Volume 1 and Volume 2 across all platforms. However, since neither volume individually reached one million units, the collection is not included in Capcom's Platinum Titles list.

Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection currently holds the record as the fastest-selling game in the franchise, surpassing one million units within its first two weeks. Released in April 2023, the game is on track to become one of the series' best-selling entries. At this pace, it’s not hard to imagine it matching or surpassing Mega Man 11's 2 million units, a milestone that took seven years to reach.

Mega Man 11 Sales Top 2 Million, Highest Selling Game in the Franchise

Capcom updated their Platinum Titles list today, confirming that Mega Man 11 has sold 2 million units worldwide as of December 31, 2024. This makes it the best-selling game in the franchise, surpassing Mega Man Legacy Collection (1.60M) and Mega Man 2 (1.51M).

Originally released in 2018, Mega Man 11 has maintained steady sales over seven years as an evergreen "catalog title"—Capcom's classification for software that continues generating revenue through extended promotion, discounts, and bundle sales. Digital catalog titles account for a significant portion of Capcom's profits, with Mega Man 11 contributing alongside other Mega Man titles released in recent years. 

While not the fastest-selling title in the franchise—that honor goes to Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection—Mega Man 11 has accomplished a feat no other game has in the series' 38-year history. To think there was a time when so many Mega Man games couldn't even crack 500,000 or even 100,000 copies, this milestone was once just a pipe dream.

Mega Man X Legacy Collection 2 Sales Top 1 Million Units

Capcom has updated its Platinum Titles chart for the fiscal year, listing software that has sold one million or more units worldwide. As of September 2024, Mega Man X Legacy Collection 2 has reached one million cumulative sales across PlayStation 4, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PC.

Mega Man X Legacy Collection 2, originally released in 2018, has become the 5th Mega Man game to surpass one million units sold since 2015 and the 9th million+ selling Mega Man title overall. Though not as popular as Legacy Collection 1, this milestone was likely reached through Capcom’s steady push via discounts, deals, and bundles of evergreen software from previous fiscal years.

Overall sales for the franchise remain at 42 million units, unchanged from the previous report in September. This figure had risen by one million in the previous fiscal year, suggesting that Legacy Collection 2 was likely the driving factor.

Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection Tops 1.42 Million Units Sold

Three months ago, Capcom announced that Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection (Vol.1+Vol.2)  sold 1.32 million units as of June 30, 2023. In their latest financial report for the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, Capcom has now confirmed that the collection has achieved 1.42 million units in sales as of September 30, 2023.

While it's not too big of a jump from the previous report, it's worth noting that Capcom has only recently started to include the title in discount campaigns. This strategy is expected to lead to a steady and gradual growth in sales, similar to what was observed with Mega Man 11.

As of now, Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection still trails behind Mega Man 11 (1.80 million units) and Mega Man 2 (1.51 million units) in terms of sales, but it has rapidly secured the third best-selling selling Mega Man title, surpassing Mega Man Legacy Collection 1 (1.40 million units).

What's more? The Mega Man franchise as a whole jumped from 40 million units to 41 million units sold thanks to Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection's strong sales.

Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection Tops 1.32 Million Units Sold

In their consolidated financial results for the 1st Quarter of fiscal year 2023, Capcom announced that Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection (Vol.1+Vol.2) has sold 1.32 million units as of June 30, 2023.

On April 27, Capcom reported 1 million units sold within two weeks following the title's release. Today's update confirms that, from April 27 to June 30, the collection sold an additional 320k units.

As of now, Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection is the 5th best selling game in the franchise following Mega Man 11 (1.70 M), Mega Man 2 (1.51 M), Mega Man Legacy Collection (1.40 M) and Mega Man Battle Network 4 (1.35 M). At this pace, it is well on its way to the top. 

Further, thanks in large part to Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection's outstanding performance, the Mega Man franchise as a whole jumped from 38 million units to 40 million units sold. A remarkable and well-deserved achievement at last. 

Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection Japan Sales Report April 17-April 23

Due the stock shortage announced last week, the Japanese version of Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection didn't shine exactly as bright as it did during its debut. A natural drop was expected.

For the week between April 17th to April 23rd, Famitsu reports that the Nintendo Switch version sold 6,342 units charting at #5. This brings the physical Switch version in Japan to a total of 58,717 units without counting the download card version.

The PlayStation 4 version didn't enter the top 10 best selling games this week. It remains to be seen if the PS4 version will rank among the top 30 titles for the week when that data is released later. 

If we combine the current data for the physical Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 versions, the Legacy Collection has sold 71,709 units in Japan.

As of a few days ago, the game is back in stock throughout Japan following a nation-wide sell-through. It will be interesting to see how sales progress next week. Stay tuned!

Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection Tops Japan Sales Charts (Updated)

Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection launched worldwide on April 14th. Roughly a week later, the first sales report has come out from Japan - and it's looking good.

For the week between April 10th to April 16th, Famitsu reports that the Nintendo Switch version has sold 52,375 units charting at #1 and the PlayStation 4 version charted at #5 selling 7,871 units. Basically, the collection sold approximately 60,246 units in three days, selling more than all Mega Man X Legacy Collection versions (1, 2 and 1+2 bundle) combined and Mega Man 11 in a similar period of time (in Japan).

This number only accounts for physical sales in Japan. Worldwide digital and physical sales have yet to be disclosed but this bodes well overall. MMBNLC could be on track to become the next million seller in the Mega Man franchise.

Stay tuned for updates.

UPDATE: Famitsu has released an expanded sales chart that covers the top 30 best selling games instead of top 10. Battle Network Legacy Collection has sold an additional 5,121 units thanks to the download cards released for Nintendo Switch of Vol.1 and 2. The download card that packs both volumes together didn't chart inside the top 30.

The final number for the first three days are 65,367 units sold.

Mega Man 11 Tops 1.60 Million Units; Now Best Selling Game in the Franchise

A few months ago we celebrated the Mega Man franchise achieving 38 million units sold. And today we've got another milestone!

Capcom has announced that, as of September 30, 2022, Mega Man 11 has become the best selling game in the franchise with 1.60 million units sold across all platforms. It's finally dethroned Mega Man 2 as the best selling title.

Mega Man 2 was originally released back in 1988. It's taken almost 34 years for another game in the franchise to surpass the total number of units sold for what many consider to be the best game in the series. As of today, Mega Man 2 sits at number two with 1.51 million units.

As we wait for the next Mega Man flagship title to be announced and with our eyes set on Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection we would like to congratulate Kazuhiro Tsuchiya, Koji Oda, Masakazu Eguchi, Yuji Ishihara and everyone involved in Mega Man 11's development. This is an amazing achievement.

Mega Man 11 Reaches 1 Million Units Sold!

With a little over a month before we start celebrating Mega Man's 32nd anniversary, we just got the best early present possible. Capcom updated their Platinum Titles list (games that sold a million or more units) and, finally, Mega Man 11 has reached the one million units sold milestone! Mega Man 11 was released on October 2nd, 2018 and it took a little over a year to join the exclusive Platinum list.

Mega Man 11 joins other games in the franchise that have sold a million or more units: Mega Man 2, Mega Man Battle Network 4, Mega Man X1, Mega Man Legacy Collection and Mega Man 3. Sales of Mega Man 11 helped push the franchise to a total of 35 million units back in May 2019. Overall, the franchise has seen a growth of 2-3 million units between June 2018 and November 2019.

Back in February of this year, we reported that Mega Man 11 sold approximately 870,000 units and the Mega Man X Legacy Collection sold a total of 920,000 units since the later launched in July 2018. Surprisingly enough, it was Mega Man 11 who reached the one million units sold milestone first. We can only hope the Mega Man X Legacy Collection joins it soon!
