Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection just received a version update across all platforms, and it addresses a number of issues and bug fixes. Additionally, Capcom has also implemented a new option in the controller button settings that allows players to swap the Confirm and Cancel button assignments.
Here’s the full rundown, according to Capcom’s change notes...
Capcom has announced that an update patch for Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection will be released on June 15, 2026.
The patch is intended to address bugs and improve functionality. However, Capcom has not specified which specific bugs will be fixed at this time.
One confirmed improvement is the addition of a new option in the controller button settings that allows players to swap the Confirm and Cancel button assignments. After the patch goes live, you'll need to update to the latest version to continue using online features.

Capcom has made good on its word and released the free Mega Man Battle Network BGM DLC pack for Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection. It's available to download now on all platforms, though the Switch eShop hasn't updated with the pack at the time of writing.
As previously confirmed, the DLC includes 43 tracks from across the Battle Network series, including Mega Man Battle Network 4.5 and Mega Man Battle Network 5: Double Team DS. The music can be played in the Gallery, and players can also add tracks to their Favorites playlist to hear them during battle.
You can check out the full track list above!
We know the names attached to many of Mega Man's contest-winning bosses, but the stories behind those designs are much harder to come by. Unless the winner later becomes someone especially notable, like Yusuke Murata, that part of the character's history usually goes untold.
Kentaro Fujii, the creator of Goat Kung-Fu, known in English as Kung Foo-Kid, from Mega Man Star Force 2, is not a name most fans would immediately recognize. But in a recent blog post, he offers a rare look at the story behind his winning design.
Capcom is celebrating the third anniversary of Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection by bringing some familiar tunes to Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection.
Beginning April 23, players will be able to download a free DLC pack featuring music from the Battle Network series (Rockman EXE 4.5 included!). According to Rockman Unity, the add-on includes 43 tracks in total. Better yet, they're not limited to the Music Gallery. After selecting your favorites, you can head into the Settings menu, open Sound, and set BGM Selection to Favorites to hear them during battle as well!
The full list of 43 tracks has not been revealed yet, but a small preview of what is expected from Battle Network 1 is already available here.

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 producer Shingo Izumi has shed a little more light on why Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection came together, and what its success could mean for the future of the series.
For one reason or another, Capcom does not seem eager for fans to know that Luna Platz and Sonia Strumm can be selected as main menu navigators in Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection. Earlier this month, they asked us to remove footage of the two in action and also requested that certain Japanese news sites strip out references to them.
Now, with the game launching very soon, it looks like Capcom is finally preparing to make it official. A DLC pack for Luna and Sonia has appeared on the Japanese Nintendo Switch eShop, where its listed for release on March 27th at 300 yen. The pack is not currently visible on English storefronts, but chances are good it will show up sometime tomorrow.
As previously reported, Luna and Sonia feature commentary on the main menu performed by their original English and Japanese voice actors. Players can swap between them at any time with the press of a button. Other previously confirmed menu navigators include Geo in his everyday clothes and Omega-Xis.
Following up on our previous report, Ryo Takamisaki is officially back with a brand-new Mega Man Star Force one-shot, and yes, it’s available in English.
Titled Mega Man Star Force ~(Re)Birthday~, the new 32-page story takes place one year after the events of Star Force 3. Geo and the gang reunite to celebrate his 12th birthday, but the festivities take a turn when a fragment of Meteor G is discovered near the Whazzap Ruins. It’s up to Shooting Star Mega Man and friends to stop a revived Crimson Dragon and save the day once again.

Good news for fans of Mega Man Star Force and manga author Ryo Takamisaki: a brand-new one-sho is set to debut March 19th on Weekly CoroCoro’s website according to a Star Force Legacy Collection preview in the latest issue of CoroCoro Comic.
While best known for his Battle Network manga, Takamisaki previously dipped into the Star Force series in 2008 with a short two-chapter adaptation of Mega Man Star Force 3. The scope of this new one-shot, as well as its story, has not yet been revealed. It's also unclear whether an official English translation will be released, something Capcom USA previously provided for Takamisaki’s Battle Network Legacy Collection reunion one-shot.
CoroCoro also notes that a new commemorative illustration by Masaya Itagaki will be posted to Weekly CoroCoro’s site on March 23rd. The small image next to the QR code in the article appears to be a teaser of that illustration.

UPDATE: At Capcom's request, the original video has been set to private. In the meantime, we have some screenshots to tide you over.
Original Story: With less than a month to go until launch, a few more surprises are starting to surface for Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection. In addition to Star Force Mega Man/Geo and Omega-Xis serving as the game’s main menu navigators, players can also choose Luna Platz or Sonia Strumm. Each character comes with a handful of new voice lines, with their respective anime voice actors reprising their roles.
It’s not yet clear how the pair are unlocked. Capcom hasn’t said whether they’ll be available from the start, unlocked in-game, or offered as DLC. In the meantime, you can see them in action in the video above!

Capcom may be planning optional in-game purchases for Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection, based on language found in the game’s Steam EULA.
Shortly after the pre-order trailer went live, the Steam page quietly published the End User License Agreement. One section notes the game “may include an optional function to purchase in-game virtual currency and virtual items.” The wording is broad, but what stands out is that the Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection EULA contains no similar reference. In fact, no other Legacy Collection does.
One possible connection is "Battle Points" (BP), which appear to be tied to online play, though their purpose has yet to be explained. At the moment, profile card stickers are the only confirmed feature that could reasonably align with purchasable items. Other possibilities, such as systems similar to Card Traders, are harder to square given how Battle Cards are traditionally tied to save data and folder progression.
It's important to note that the EULA doesn't confirm microtransactions outright, only that the functionality may exist. This could be Capcom laying the ground work when or if they decide to pursue that route. Still, its inclusion marks a noticeable departure from past Legacy Collections and is something worth keeping an eye on as Capcom shares more details about the online mode.

Not only will you be able to enjoy the PC version on the go or from the comfort of your bed (or maybe the toilet seat) but you'll be able to play around with the vertical display option that offers a fairly accurate recreation of the Nintendo DS dual-screen setup. Vertical display is supported across all versions of the game, but there’s a portable novelty to being able to use it on Nintendo Switch and now Steam Deck.
Of note, the updated Steam page also confirms the game will require an internet connection for installation and first-time setup, a telltale sign that the game will feature Denuvo DRM at launch.
Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection launches on March 27th.
4Gamer has published its annual feature asking Japanese game creators to reflect on what stood out to them in 2025 and what they’re looking ahead to in 2026. Among the contributors is Shingo Izumi, a name that has been steadily gaining recognition among Mega Man fans, who used the opportunity to share a message as we head into the new year.
The latest episode of Capcom TV featured a dedicated segment on Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection, with a hands-on demo led by producer Shingo Izumi alongside Rockman Unity's Ucchy-san. The gameplay shown was captured from the latest build and highlights a few tweaks and additions over earlier versions, including newly added hand-drawn character portraits, updated UI, and additional in-battle voice lines from Mega Man.
The footage also offers a look at the Gallery Menu, where Izumi showcases the Music Player and a Battle Card library that allows players to view Battle Card artwork in high resolution.
With just under three months to go until launch, everything looks to be coming together smoothly! Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection launches on March 27, 2026.
Although Capcom Japan promptly confirmed a physical release for Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection, Capcom US and other English-language branches made no mention of it in their pre-order materials, which raised some concern. However, it looks like there's nothing to worry about after all.
Canadian retailers Video Game Plus and PnP Games have opened pre-orders for physical editions on Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5, with both listings pointing to a March 27, 2026 release alongside the digital version. UPDATE: Amazon pre-orders are live! Switch here, PlayStation 5 here.
It’s possible Capcom US simply wasn’t ready to share those details yet, suggesting these are early retailer listings. More stores should begin offering pre-orders in the near future.
Keep your eyes peeled!
To commemorate the release date announcement of Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection, Capcom has uploaded the first episode of the Star Force anime to their YouTube channel. This marks the first time the English dub has been available digitally since it was pulled from Hulu in the mid-2010s.
The original Japanese version has also been made available on Capcom Japan's YouTube channel. There are no official English subtitles, so viewers will have to rely on auto-translate.
Capcom will upload additional episode every Wednesday at 1:00 AM PST for a limited time. You can keep tabs on that with the official playlist here.
Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection releases March 27th, 2026 for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, and PC. Pre-orders are now available.
You didn't forget about Star Force Legacy Collection, did you? Taking a brief pause from the Mega Man: Dual Override hype, Capcom has announced Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection will launch on March 27th, 2026. A physical version has been confirmed for Japan, but there's currently no news about the U.S or other regions.
You can watch the announcement trailer above (featuring our first look at English voice acting) and the official press release below!
Wendee Lee, the English voice of Sonia Sky in the Mega Man Star Force anime, recently teased at a convention that she’s recorded something new for the series. While she couldn’t share too many details, her comments could suggest a return in Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection:
“There’s something in the works that I’m working on with Mega Man Star Force, but I don’t know if anything’s been announced. It’s not out yet, right?” she asked the audience.
“I don’t believe anything’s been announced,” someone replied.
“Right. So I gotta leave you a big ol’ okie doke,” Lee said. “I have to be very careful not to break my NDA, but ahem—it's musical. I’ll leave it at that.”
Considering Capcom’s plans to rearrange every track from all three Star Force games, Lee may have been tapped to finally record Sonia’s in-game songs, which were previously presented only as text. There’s also the chance she’ll restore Sonia's voice clips cut from the English version of Star Force 2, such as the title and congratulations screens present in the Japanese version.
Whatever the case, it’s encouraging to see Capcom once again reconnecting with veteran Mega Man voice actors after so many years. Hopefully, more of the original cast will return too.

While a firm release date hasn’t been announced yet, Capcom seems to be taking steps toward that reveal, as Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection is now available to wishlist across the PlayStation Store, Microsoft Store, and Steam. Each listing includes a fresh set of screenshots, with one in particular being a direct-feed image of the 3D Star Force Mega Man who appears on the game’s main menu. We also have our first look at Star Force 3's Custom Screen, which has been updated with HD assets.
A Nintendo eShop page isn’t live yet, though it may go up later this week, as the eShop typically updates on Thursdays. We'll keep you posted.
Thanks for the tip, M!
