Rockman Xover: No Plans to Distribute OVER-0 Before End of Service

As previously reported, Rockman Xover will cease operations on March 31st, 2015. There's still some time to play the game but don't expect any new content from here on out. According to a tip from Rockman Corner contributor Django, Capcom has no plans to resume events or additional content for the game. This will leave one previously announced form, OVER-0, unreleased.

To fill the gap before the game is officially taken offline, monthly rewards can still be redeemed. You can see a list of those right here. No more Battle Memory Cards, it seems; it's mostly Zenny, Gacha Tickets and E cans.

Other than that, Xover is pretty much dead. It's too bad they didn't get around to a Rockman DASH world, you know?

Thanks, Django.

Nintendo Reveals Mega Man Amiibo Figure

I think many of us were waiting for this nugget of news. As seen on Nintendo Japan's new Amiibo website, a Mega Man Amiibo figure is on the way. The Blue Bomber is planning to launch alongside the third Amiibo wave in February, 2015. It's priced at 1,200 Yen (roughly $10.45).

No word on whether this will come to the U.S or Europe within the same time frame. I'd say it's likely but it's safe to wait for official confirmation. Sooner than later, one can hope. UPDATE: February it is.

Loot Crate's Take on Mega Man is a Gritty Romp

The teaser for the November Loot Crate is upon us and it's straight up ridiculous. It's a dark and goofy blend of Mega Man and Die Hard. Things take an interesting turn when another Capcom star shows up to procure Mega Man, now a vigilante. The deliberate grit, needless to say, is all in good fun.

As previously discussed, some form of Mega Man loot will be included in the "Battle" themed package. We won't know what it is until this month's Loot Crate arrives on doorsteps in a few weeks. If you're interested in signing up for the box, head over here. Punch in the code "BATTLE" to shave $3 off your subscription.

Regardless of what the item is or isn't, we'll keep you posted. Stay tuned!

Rockman Capsule Figures Are Coming - Classic, X, DASH and EXE

The toys, the toys, the toys. They just keep coming! This time Bandai is bringing out a series of Rockman capsule figures slated to drop in February. Known figures include classic Rockman, X, Rock Volnutt, Rockman.EXE, and the Yellow Devil. These are just prototypes right now - colors will be added later.
