Mega Man Legacy Collection Fixes Are Forthcoming

If you've invested a decent amount of time in Mega Man Legacy Collection you've no doubt noticed a few audio and graphical hiccups. The Steam version is the worst offender at the moment: sound errors, black screens, Windows 7 compatibility issues, and so forth. Fortunately these problems have not fallen of deaf ears; Capcom and Digital Eclipse are reportedly working on fixes.

Mega Man Legacy Collection Headed to Japan

Good news for our friends on the other side of the world: Mega Man Legacy Collection is coming to Japan, rechristened as Rockman Classics Collection.

The good word comes from a savvy crew of data miners who unearthed the above logo from Legacy Collection's files. What's more, screenshots from the game have been found on Japanese Xbox One servers. Together, these images suggest a future release.

It remains to be seen when the game will hit Japanese consoles. Availability is also in question, whether or not it will be available both in digital and physical formats.

It's 2015 and we're finally getting something! Yes, Mega Man Legacy Collection is here! The game rolls out on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC today for $14.99. The digital Nintendo 3DS version is still on track for an early 2016 release.

This Mega Buster Fits Right in Your Pocket

Let's be real, $80 is a little steep for a life-size Mega Buster. For the Zenny-conscious fan who has to have one, though, ThinkGeek's now selling a mini Mega Buster that fits right in your pocket!

The key chain version doesn't have any fancy sounds, but it lights up! A very handy accessory for finding your way in the dark or annoying your cat. Isn't it just adorable?

You can grab yours here for a cool $10.

Various Official Rockman Websites Have Shutdown

Here's a bit of a head scratcher for you: Capcom Japan has reportedly pulled the plug on individual Rockman websites. These include:

• http://www.capcom.co.jp/rockmanexe/   
• http://www.capcom.co.jp/ryusei/   
• http://www.capcom.co.jp/rockman/zero/ 
• http://www.capcom.co.jp/rockman_zx/

 

Only a pair of outlets survived the purge: the official Rockman portal and Rockman Unity.  It should be noted these two are regularly updated. The four that got the ax haven't seen any significant updates in 5+ years.

Now, this could simply be Capcom cleaning up the brand's web presence; relegating the franchise under a smaller umbrella. The disheartening bit about that though? Those four pages represented their individual series, some for over ten years. I fondly remember checking out ZX's page in the days leading up to the first game's release, rocking out to looping tunes. It's a little sad to see them go.

Anyway, I'm sure this is nothing to panic over. There is no evidence of anything "sinister" going on behind-the-scenes. We'll keep an ear out, of course. In the meantime the WayBack Machine exists. You're free to revisit these pages anytime.

RockBoard Was Considered for Mega Man Legacy Collection

Mega Man Legacy Collection features all six classic NES titles in a single package. At one point, however, Capcom and Digital Eclipse considered the possibility of throwing an additional title in the mix: RockBoard, the Famicom-exclusive spin-off.

Artists Reimagine MS-DOS Mega Man Robot Masters

The MS-DOS versions of Mega Man and Mega Man 3 are notorious for their peculiar Robot Master lineup; an odd-ball rogue gallery straight out of the lower depths of DeviantArt. But with the right people holding the pen, these unusual robots may at last have their due.
