Rare Rockman X3 Book Scanned, Artwork Preserved

In 1996, Capcom and Nagaoka Shoten published a Rockman X3 pop-up book exclusively in Japan, adapting the game into a hands-on craft book where young readers could assemble scenes from the game.

While a neat collectible in its own right, the book has long been sought after by fans because it contains original cel-painted artwork not seen in any other X3 media. It also hasn’t been reprinted anywhere else.

Now, for the first time, the book’s contents have been preserved thanks to Epsilon1234. All 48 pages, along with the accompanying artwork, can be viewed on the Internet Archive across two uploads: scans of the 21 artwork pages and photographs of the full book, including the non-art pages.

And if you have a high-quality printer, you could even try printing the individual pages and assembling the dioramas yourself. If not, there’s still plenty of great pieces here to enjoy.

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.
