Project X Zone 2 Announced, Teaser Trailer Posted

Bandai Namco has unveiled the official teaser trailer for Project X Zone 2: Brave New World. Following in the footsteps of its predecessor, the game is a crossover between Bandai Namco, Sega, and Capcom intellectual properties.

The trailer confirms a handful of returning characters in addition to eight newcomers. Mega Man X and Zero are returning, though no word yet on Tron Bonne. With more characters promised, there exists the possibility of not only Tron's return but new Mega Man reps as well. For now, though, we'll just have to wait and see what develops.

Project X Zone 2 is slated to hit Japan Autumn 2015 for Nintendo 3DS.

Watch Hitoshi Ariga Speed Draw New Megamix Art

I've always been a huge fan of Hitoshi Ariga, best known for his work on Mega Man Megamix and Gigamix. You can imagine my glee when I happened upon this small token from the man himself: a speed recording of the new Megamix Vol. 2 cover art from start to finish.

It's an amazing glimpse at what goes on behind the scenes. If you're a fan of Ariga's works, or the creative process in general, check out the video above.

Rumor: Project X Zone 2 in Development for 3DS

A sequel to Project X Zone, the Capcom/Bandai Namco/Sega mega crossover, is reportedly in the works. According to Italian website e-duesse, Project X Zone 2: Brave New World for Nintendo 3DS was shown off during Bandai Namco's "Level Up" press event in Milan on April 7th. The game appeared alongside Saint Seya Soldiers' Soul, which was just officially announced earlier today.

Of note, both references to Project X Zone 2 and Saint Seya have since been omitted from the original article (here's the pre-edit screenshot). That's typically a good sign, one further validated by a well-timed teaser site from Namco Bandai. The countdown, ending April 13th, features a city enshrouded in mist. Setting your clock to post-April 13th produces a series of ominous yellow chains.

We'll keep you posted.

Mega Man #51 Covers and Solicitation

It's that time again -- a new month, a new solicitation. Capcom Unity brings us our first look at Archie's Mega Man #51...

Lucas Gilbertson Redubs Zero and Colonel's Throwdown

The man, the myth, the legend. Lucas Gilbertson, the voice of Zero in Mega Man: Maverick Hunter X, Mega Man X: Command Mission, and Mega Man X8, returns to voice the red crusader in a new Mega Man X4 redub -- Zero vs. Colonel.

Though perhaps not as popular as a certain other cutscene, Zero's initial confrontation with Colonel remains an important and noteworthy part of the character's story arc. With the addition of Lucas' vocal cords, it's made all the more exciting.

While you're at it, check out Lucas' previous X4 redub here!

Yet More Images of the Giant Mega Man X Figure

The Day of Sigma Has Been Digitally Restored

Thanks to an intrepid fellow by the name of Silk Encoder, you can now watch The Day of Sigma in its highest quality yet. 

Unlike previous rips (which tend to be oversaturated or washed out) Silk Encoder actually went into Maverick Hunter X's source files, ripped the video and audio, synced it, and encoded the whole package to 1280x720 in meGUI. It's a big step-up from the 480x272 source and it should hold us over until Capcom provides an official HD release. If they ever do.

If you like what you see you can head to YouTube and grab yourself the file directly from the video description.

Enjoy!

TruForce Unveils Reimagined Mega Man X Ride Chaser

Did you back TruForce Collectibles' Mega Man X Kickstarter? If your funds went towards some of the higher tiers, set your sights on the image above. This Ride Chaser print is coming with your order.

This is the handiwork of Capcom artist Keisuke Mizuno. It's a very fine piece, no doubt, but wouldn't it be great to have a physical Ride Chaser to go along with your brand new MMX? Yeah, that's happening too. The Ride Chaser is TruForce's next project; the extra money accumulated during the MMX Kickstarter will go towards the figure's production. As soon as we hear more about it, we'll let you know.
