Get Me Off the Moon Announces Legends 3 and Red Ash Campaigns
Four years ago today Mega Man Legends 3 was cancelled. To honor its memory, the folks at Get Me Off the Moon (aka 100,000 Strong for Mega Man Legends 3) are launching two campaigns for the occasion. One is aimed at reviving Mega Man Legends 3, and the other is a Red Ash awareness campaign. For the latter, GMOTM will be collaborating directly with Keiji Inafune.
Full details after the jump.

Mega Man Legacy Collection - Updates and New Screens
Mega Man Legacy Collection won't be released until later this summer but it sounds like development is proceeding smoothly. Capcom Unity has provided fans with an updated look at the game since it's big E3 debut. New screenshots await you at this post -- chief among those, a new viewing mode called "Original."
At E3 the game was presented in "Full" mode format (pictured right). Since then Capcom and Digital Eclipse added Original viewing mode (left). This mode presents the sharpest image possible for all six games in their original aspect ratio. The borders, themed after whichever game you're currently playing, are entirely optional.
Hop over to Capcom Unity for the full lowdown!

Mega Man Halloween Costumes Are Coming
Are you creatively impaired? Can't make your own Mega Man costume? Well good news for you: licensed Mega Man costumes for kids and adults are becoming a thing.
These costumes recently showed up on Halloweencostumes.com. The adult-cut runs for $68.99, kids at $54.99. Each are expected to ship at the end of this month, but it looks like they're sold out at the moment. Mind you, they're "exclusive" to this specific retailer. If you want one (or two), you'll have to keep an eye out for future stock.
So yeah, interesting year for Mega Man goods. This won't be the end of it, I assure you. As a wise man once said, "Merchandising, merchandising!" It's where the real money is made.

Pretty Soon, You Can Buy a Real Mega Man Helmet (Updated)
Among the many goodies at the San Diego Comic-Con Capcom booth, you'll find this beauty: an official, wearable Mega Man helmet.
According to Capcom, the helmet it's "made of high quality ABS plastic with a high polish finish, authentic proportions and details, plus working LED lights! A unique clamshell hinge allows the front and back half of the helmet to easily open up to comfortably fit your head inside the soft padded interior for a perfect fit."
The helmet will be on display at SDCC, with a limited run of pre-orders slated to hit Capcom's online store soon. No word on price but I'd wager $100+.
UPDATE: Pre-orders are live! Get 'em while they last!
Now if you want something a bit cheaper (and smaller), SDCC will play host to a 5-pack of mini Mega Man helmets. These are the same helmets that appeared in Loot Crate earlier this year. Their 1/64 scale... perfect for desktops!

Mighty No. 9 Live-Action Movie in Production
"The announcement that Legendary Digital is
collaborating with Contradiction and Comcept on creating a live action
project based on Mighty No. 9 is really amazing, not only for
myself and the rest of the team at Comcept who worked on the game, but
also for all the fans who have supported the project,” said
Keiji Inafune. “This collaboration will give our creation the ability to
reach people all over the world. Thanks to all of your support, we have
fulfilled another one of our dreams."
This announcement comes two months ahead of Mighty No. 9's release -- September 15th in North America, September 18th in Europe. Not one to wait, Keiji Inafune is quickly earning himself a trigger happy reputation. It's worrisome, if you ask me.

Red Ash Gameplay Mock-up Posted
Keiji Inafune's Red Ash: The Indelible Legend is described as an action-adventure romp along the lines of Mega Man Legends. However, seeing is believing. To give fans a better idea of what they're hoping to achieve, Comcept has posted the above mock-up of what Red Ash will look like.
No footage or renders here. This is a mock-up in every sense of the word. Red Ash is indeed an action-adventure with third-person elements, a clear evolution and modernization of Mega Man Legends' combat.
Comcept writes: “With the current initial goal we have set, adding Tyger as a playable was not possible so we originally wanted to avoid releasing this image so as not to confuse backers. However, we also want to convey to our fans what sort of game we are looking to create, and we also feel it is important to convey all parts of the original vision of the game, including Tyger as a playable character! We still want to add Tyger to the game, so do your part and spread the word about the project!”
It will probably be quite a while before we see the game in action. In the meantime, you can learn more at the Red Ash hub.

Rockman X6 is Coming to Japanese PSN
Well, well. It looks like someone sorted out those nasty licensing issues because Rockman X6 is coming to PlayStation Network in Japan. It's set to launch next week on July 8th. Yay?
Curiously enough, it was only a few weeks ago we learned the game was having trouble hitting the digital storefront. And what do you know, Brett was right: sometimes these legacy titles just creep up on us. We can't say for sure if this means the game gets a pass in North America (or Europe) too, but we'll keep an ear out.
