Mega Man: The Board Game Shipping Soon (Updated)


Did you back Jasco Games' officially-licensed Mega Man board game? Keep an eye on that mailbox: your copy is due to arrive soon.

Finalized copies are due to hit Jasco's warehouse later today, the company announced. Soon after, their warehouse will begin to ship orders directly to backers. Shipments will include the base game and any add-ons you may have opted for.

Customs are really cutting it close with this one, mind you. Chances are slim to none you'll receive your copy before year's end. Depending on where in North America you live, the next two weeks sound like a very promising window.

UPDATE: If you have any final address changes for your order, send them to shane@jascogames.com by midnight tomorrow night. All orders will ship immediately after thatdeadline.

Mega Man Legacy Collection 3DS to Include Missing Artwork


Keen-eyed Mega Man Legacy Collection players no doubt noticed a severe lack of U.S Mega Man boxes in Museum mode. For one reason or another these classic packages were omitted in the PS4, Xbox One and PC versions. However, according to the latest batch of Rockman Classics Collection screens, the Nintendo 3DS version will rightfully include the missing art.

Besides the U.S boxes, there's several other missing pieces as well that might just find their way to the 3DS version. You can see what those are at #20's place here.

At this time there is no indication if the Museum will be patched on home consoles and PC to include these missing pieces. We should have a better idea closer to February, if not sooner.

Your Mega Man Helmets Are Finally Shipping


You remember this thing, right? Though it won't arrive in time for Christmas (as originally intended), Capcom's official Mega Man helmet looks to be hitting mailboxes by January 20th, 2016.

If you pre-ordered through Capcom's online store you should have received a confirmation e-mail earlier today. If not, hang in there. These things tend to fluctuate case-by-case.

Thanks for the tip, ADW

Official Rockman EXE Plushies Are Headed Your Way (Updated)


Well this is a bit... random. In recent times we've seen a huge influx of classic series goods. Come early 2016, though, Capcom turns its merchandising gaze to Rockman EXE with a pair of new plushies.

Say hello to the "Rockman EXE All Star Series". Rockman EXE himself, Blues and a Mettaur spearhead this new line, a follow-up to San-ei's previous Rockman plushies. Both characters are due in Japan on February 25th, 2016. Pre-orders are live on Amazon Japan and Hobby Stock. There's a very good chance we'll see these overseas as San-ei's plushies typically populate pop-culture retailers in North America.

Update: Blues spotted!

Everything We Know About What Happened Between Classic and X


The interim between the Mega Man classic and X series is an on-going subject of debate and speculation among fans. While Capcom have gone on record to state an official outline exists, the house that built the "Blue Bomber" prefers to leave these events up to the imagination. That's all well and good – however, there's just enough information out there to piece most of it together. Let's dig in!

Mega Man X8 is Coming to PlayStation 3 in Japan (Updated)


UPDATE 2: Confirmed via CapKobun, X8 is a PS2 Classic on PlayStation 3. Nevertheless your input is still being gathered on the prospects of a PS4 version.

UPDATE: While the game is currently slated to hit PSN today, it has come to my attention Sony did not specify which console - PlayStation 3 or PlayStation 4. The game does not have a hub on PSN yet; merely referenced here in a holiday lottery as an eligible prize. We'll keep an ear to the ground.

Original post: Mega Man X8 is set to arrive as a PS2 Classic on PlayStation 4 today in Japan.

No word yet on availability outside of Japan... stay tuned!

Mega Man 9 and Mega Man 10 are 70% Off with Xbox Live Gold


If for some reason you don't own either Mega Man 9 or Mega Man 10, you might want to swoop up this sweet little deal. Both games have been dropped to a mere $2.99 on Xbox Live Gold (normally $9.99 a piece) for a limited time.

Of note you can only play them on Xbox 360. Though Microsoft is doubling down on backwards compatibility on Xbox One, Mega Man 9 and Mega Man 10 have yet to make the jump. If you buy them now, though, you'll be ready when the time comes.

Thanks, Wario64!
