Mega Man X Legacy Collection 1+2 at 1.4M Units, MMLC1+2 at 2M, Says Tsuchiya

Hot on the heel's of yesterdays' news that Mega Man 11 sold a million copies, Mega Man franchise producer Kazuhiro Tsuchiya took to Twitter to share updated sales figures for Mega Man X Legacy Collection 1&2 and Mega Man Legacy Collection 1&2.

"Mega Man 11 shipped 1 million units worldwide," declared Tsuchiya. "And ... MMX Legacy Collection 1&2 total reached 1.4M units, MM Legacy Collection 1&2 total shipment is 2M units. Thanks for your awesome support! May the Blue Bomber be with you."

As one can expect, support and words of congratulations from fans and Capcom staff poured in. The whole thread is worth a read. It'll make your blue bomber heartstrings sing!

Now, it is worth pointing out that, at the time of this writing, Mega Man X Legacy Collection 1+2 and Mega Man Legacy Collection 1+2 do not appear on Capcom's Platinum Titles despite moving 1.4 million units and 2 million units, respectively. Tsuchiya hasn't commented on it yet, but speculations suggests that the collections are being considered separate SKUs.

The X Legacy Collection was sold separately in some territories (as Rockman X Collection 1 and Rockman X Collection 2) and therefore the 1.4 million units is a *combination* of the two. It's a similar situation with Mega Man Legacy Collection 1+2. We know for a fact that, as of September 2019, Mega Man Legacy Collection 1 sold 1.1 million units. Legacy Collection 2, meanwhile, didn't come close but together with MMLC1, the cumulative figure is 2 million units.

Phew! Okay. That was a lot of numbers. tl;dr, Mega Man is doing very, very well and all of this bodes well for the future. Good job everyone!

Mega Man Franchise Breaks 33 Million Sold; Up 1 Million Since Last Quarter

The Mega Man franchise continues to grow thanks to an additional million sales from last quarter. According to Capcom's updated Game Series Sales page, the franchise now sits at 33 million units worldwide. It's up by one million units since Q2 2018.

If last week's report is any indication, we can assume Mega Man X Legacy Collection 1+2 contributed toward the bump. As stated by Capcom just last week, "Mega Man X Legacy Collection, Mega Man X Legacy Collection 2 and Mega Man X Legacy Collection 1+2 (for PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and PC in all three cases) performed well thanks to a dedicated fan base and strong brand capabilities."

Do note, however, Mega Man X Legacy Collection did not achieve one million units – this according to the updated Platinum Titles list. Still, X Legacy Collection sold well enough to not only meet Capcom's expectations but bump things up to 33 million.

As for Mega Man 11, no data has been shared at this time. We'll probably know more towards the end of this quarter.

Mega Man 11 Sales Top 1.7 Million, Legacy Collections On the Rise

Mega Man 11 continues its steady advance as the best selling entry in the franchise. According to the newest Capcom Platinum titles charts, the game now sits at 1.7 million units sold. That's an increase of 100K units from last November to fiscal year ending March 31st 2023.

Mega Man Legacy Collection and Mega Man X Legacy Collection saw growth during this period as well. Mega Man Legacy Collection advanced to 1.4 million units (up 100K). Mega Man X Legacy Collection also charted with 1 million units. It's also worth pointing out that, according to then-series producer Kazuhiro Tsuchiya, both X Legacy Collection volumes combined topped 1.4 million units in late 2019. Therefore, presumably, the data reflected on the Platinum Titles likely refers to Volume 1 only. 

Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection narrowly missed the cutoff for inclusion in the Platinum Titles due to its release timing falling outside of the fiscal year period. Because the game already surpassed one million units shortly after its April debut, we can eagerly anticipate its inclusion in the forthcoming fiscal year's final tally.

An Analysis of Game Sales From Mega Man 11 to Zero/ZX Legacy Collection

Guest post by Santiago Casale

The topic of sales numbers has become prevalent in gaming discourse. What used to be a worry reserved for shareholders has bled into fan circles as well. These enthusiasts look to numbers to see if their support has paid off. To prove to publishers that there's not only an audience for their games, but a desire for more.

 

Mega Man fans have been told, outright, that the sales of the original Mega Man Legacy Collection directly influenced Capcom's decision to greenlight Mega Man 11. That statement wasn't just heartening -- it was validating. Information like that isn’t always transparent, though. 

 

Sometimes a game fails to hit a sales milestone and the company simply doesn’t report on it. That might be the case with Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection, for example. Information on how that title performed wasn't publicly released. But for situations just like that, we can look to fan-based data groups for help.

 

In recent years, fans took it upon themselves to create sales databases. And while some are infamously-inaccurate and unreliable like VGChartz, others strive for accuracy by gathering legitimate data from the networking services of the major gaming storefronts. Using this available data, I decided to conduct my own research to see how recent Mega Man games performed against Capcom's own data.

 

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 Franchise Now at 36 Million Units Total, Mega Man 11 at 1.2 Million Units

Capcom has updated their Game Series Sales and Platinum Titles pages to reflect the fiscal year ending March 31st, 2020. Unfortunately, we do not have any data on how well Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection performed this past quarter. Nevertheless, we do have some good news:

• Mega Man 11 saw an additional 200,000 units in sales between November 2019 to March 31st, 2020. The game has now officially sold 1.2 million units. Mega Man 11 continues to be the fastest selling Mega Man title in well over 25 years. 

• As of March 31st, the Mega Man franchise has moved 36 million units in lifetime sales. That's an additional million from May 2019. We can assume the bump was from Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection and further steady sales of Mega Man 11, Mega Man Legacy Collection 1+2 and Mega Man X Legacy Collection 1+2. 

At the end of the day, the franchise remains in a healthy state. Mega Man 11, Mega Man Legacy Collection 1+2 and Mega Man X Legacy Collection 1+2 continue to show strong legs. I think it's safe to say that those discounted sales across multiple storefronts really helped. Now, as for ZX/Zero Legacy Collection... it's difficult to pin-point how it's doing. Pending official word from Capcom, we can only speculate.

We'll let you know if we hear anything concrete.

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).

Mega Man 11 Sold 870,000 Units; Mega Man X Legacy Collection at 920,000

Hot on the heels of yesterday's news that both Mega Man 11 and Mega Man X Legacy Collection 1+2 are performing well, Capcom just released some sales numbers.

In a Q&A session posted to their Investor Relations page, Capcom revealed that Mega Man 11 sold approximately 870,000 units since it launched on October 2nd, 2018. Meanwhile, Mega Man X Legacy Collection (they don't specify if it's Legacy Collection 1 or 1+2) sold a total of 920,000 units since it launched in July 2018. These are cumulative numbers across all platforms – PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC.

If Mega Man 11 and Mega Man X Legacy Collection continue to sell at a steady rate, both titles could very well achieve one million units each by the end of this quarter. If that happens, they will join the ranks of the few Mega Man titles to sell a million or more units in the franchise's 30-year history.

Make no mistake: Mega Man is back. Onto the next!

Rockman Zero & ZX Double Hero Collection Debuts at #6 in Weekly Famitsu Sales (Update)

Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection - known as Rockman Zero & ZX Double Hero Collection in Japan - is off to a sluggish start in its home country. For the week between February 24th and March 1st, Famitsu reports that the Nintendo Switch version of the game debuted at #6 with roughly 11,610 units sold. The PlayStation 4 version did not chart in the top 10. UPDATE: Additional Famitsu data has been published; the PS4 version charted at #11 with 7,235 units. Combined physical sales of Switch and PS4 are now18,845 units.

You can see where Zero & ZX falls in first week sales compared to previous releases after the break.

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!

Mega Man Franchise Now at 35 Million Units Total; +1 Million From Previous Quarter

Capcom have updated their "Game Series Sales" list with the latest sales figures for various franchises. According to the report, the Mega Man franchise has reached a total of 35 million units of software sold as of fiscal year ending March 31st, 2019. That's an additional 1 million units of growth since the previous report back in February, 2019.

Although not explicitly stated by Capcom, this growth can be attributed to Mega Man 11's continued momentum. The title was recently said to have "performed well" through the end of the First Quarter of the Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2019 (see page 5 of Capcom's Consolidated Results). 

As for Mega Man 11's sales, we unfortunately do not have an updated figure. It does appear, however, that the title did not manage to achieve Platinum status this past quarter after all (i.e sell one million units).  Rest assured, though, Mega Man 11 is close. Very close. When we last checked in, Mega Man 11 moved a solid 870,000 units. On the flipside, Mega Man X Legacy Collection was at 920,000 units. Mega Man X Legacy Collection did not reach Platinum status this past quarter, either. Nevertheless it appears both titles, together, sold enough this previous quarter to push the franchise to 35 million units. Not bad at all.

Do you want to know something really great? The Mega Man franchise stagnated at 32 million units in June 2018. In nearly one year's time, it has grown 3 million units. We haven't seen momentum like that in a very long time. Needless to say, you can fully expect more Mega Man games in the future.

Capcom Reports Strong Sales for Mega Man 11 (and MMX Legacy Collection 1+2)

Today, Capcom released their Financial Results for the 3rd Quarter of the Fiscal Year 2018. The quarter saw Capcom's highest profit in the company's history thanks in part to Mega Man 11. According to the report, not only is Mega Man 11 selling well but Mega Man X Legacy Collection 1+2 continues to thrive thanks to a "strong dedicated fanbase." More details after the jump!

Mega Man 11 Exists Because of Legacy Collection's Success

Mega Man 11 is real – like, you'll actually get to play it in a few months. But why now? Why wasn't Mega Man 11 a thing three or even five years ago?  In an interview with Venture Beat, Mega Man 11 director Koji Oda revealed it had everything to do with Mega Man Legacy Collection's commercial success.

Mega Man Franchise Now at 34 Million Units Sold; Up 1 Million from Last Quarter

If you needed further evidence that the Mega Man franchise is not only in good health but steadily growing, this is it.

Thanks to the combined efforts of Mega Man 11 and additional Mega Man X Legacy Collection sales last quarter, the franchise just broke 34 million units. That's an additional million units in growth from Q2 2018, which was first reported back in November. In eight months time, the Mega Man franchise has gone from 32 million units (June 2018) to 34 million units (February 2019).

All in all, this is great news. It's heartening to see that, after so many years of dormancy, Mega Man is back and performing better than ever. It can only get better from here, folks.

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 Series Producer Kazuhiro Tsuchiya Departs Capcom

Kazuhiro Tsuchiya, the producer of the Mega Man series and, more recently, Street Fighter 6, has left Capcom. The news comes to us through Tsuchiya's Twitter profile, which he recently updated to indicate he has moved on from the company.

Tsuchiya emerged as a key figure during an uncertain period following Keiji Inafune's departure in 2010. Under his tutelage, the Mega Man franchise experienced significant growth, achieving a total sales figure of 38 million units, an impressive increase of 7 million units compared to the stagnant period before Mega Man 11. Tsuchiya played a pivotal role in the development of Mega Man 11, Mega Man X DiVE, every individual Legacy Collection, and contributed to the franchise's most remarkable accomplishment yet: Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection's shipment of over one million units within two weeks of its launch.

In late 2018, Tsuchiya announced his intention to start working on a new title, with pre-production set for the following year. These plans were formalized by September 2019. Although the project has yet to materialize, all indications point to it being the enigmatic "Taisen" project, which was first mentioned in leaked materials followed by a registry in the Nvidia GeForce database. The title was originally expected to be released in late 2022. 

Given the impact of the pandemic on Capcom's production pipeline at the time and subsequent reshuffling release dates for key titles - not to mention management pulling Tsuchiya onto Street Fighter 6 -- we eagerly await the result of his labor. The sudden reemergence of a 35th anniversary push has no doubt left fans hopeful.

Although we may not currently have a tangible representation of Taisen or any other "major" titles, Tsuchiya has undoubtedly left Mega Man in a significantly improved state than where he found it. I'm very grateful for that.
