Rockman Unity's Ucchy Samples Rockman Booze


Official Rockman food and drinks are the new hot commodity at the Shinjuku Capcom Bar. To commemorate the occasional, Ucchy-san, Rockman Unity's lovable host and curator, is here to show off three tasty drinks: blue raspberry Rock Buster, mango Roll, and the Blues Shield cocktail. The videos are in Japanese but Ucchy's charm transcends language!

More Images and Info on HMO's Mega Man X Statue


HMO Collectibles' officially-licensed 1/4 scale Mega Man X statue is coming along nicely. The piece is still a little ways off from distribution, but we've got some additional information to tide you over.

According to HMO's Dani Hinze, the statue will be limited to 200 pieces worldwide with a "super rare red version" on-the-burner, too. It stands 20-inches with the base, 15-inches without.  Interchangeable parts and light-effects are planned, which will certainly play into the final statue's price tag.

Lastly, it sounds like there's a Zero statue in the works. Better start saving up now!

First Footage of Red Ash: Gearworld OVA


Still no word on the game (don't ask; no one knows), but the Red Ash animated adaptation from Studio 4℃ is very much alive and kicking. After the break, we have our first look at Red Ash: Gearworld. It's a short glimpse - approximately 12-seconds - but long enough to give us a feel of the style Studio 4℃ is going for.

Mega Man and Proto Man Strike a Pose in New Mobile Wallpaper


Via the Rockman Unity app, a new mobile wallpaper has become available. This one is fairly simple but charming in a quaint way. See the full piece after the jump!

Mega Man Legacy Collection Developers Are Working on a "New Compilation" (UPDATE)


During a discussion with the Achievement Oriented podcast, Mega Man Legacy Collection producer and director Frank Cifaldi says his company Digital Eclipse are working on a new Capcom game compilation. What's more, it could be announced relatively soon.

Between the 31:30 and 32:00 mark Cifaldi says, "I shipped a collection called Mega Man Legacy Collection the year before last (it's been a while), and we've got another one coming out soon that they're gonna announce any day now. I don't know when - I wish I could talk about it but it's really cool."

Unfortunately, it's difficult to say if the product is related to Mega Man or not. I think there's some viability that it could be, though. This year is franchise's 30th anniversary, after all, and we're just now starting to see some commemorative goods for the occasion. It's an exciting prospect and the possibilities are indeed bountiful, but there is no guarantee it's Mega Man.

If it is a new Mega Man collection, you'll see a new post on this blog. If not, I'll update this post as more information becomes available. Thanks to Sean "Nz17" Robinson for the tip!

UPDATE: It's Disney Afternoon Collection! Awesome!

HMO Collectibles Teases Mega Man X Figure


To commemorate Mega Man's 30th anniversary, HMO Collectibles are teaming up with Capcom for a 1:4 scale Mega Man X figure. The images above were posted on the manufacturer's website and Instagram account respectively. The left image depicts a prototype mold while the right shows a glimpse of a working-render. The figure looks to feature X in an action pose atop an armor capsule base.

That's all that can be said for now. Look forward to more images and information soon!

Brush Up on Your Japanese with Censored Mega Man Legends Dialog




Nineteen years after its North American release, we're still finding localization changes in Mega Man Legends.

Game Grammar - a YouTube channel that teaches you Japanese through video games - shined light on an obscure interaction between Mega Man and an NPC at the Kattelox Art Museum. The dialog tree in the scene is largely the same between the English and Japanese versions; however, one choice in particular was a little too suggestive for Capcom USA. I don't want to give it away but you might just learn something new about a certain character.

Thanks for the tip, RockinX!

For Your Consideration, a Plush Proto Man Ball


For every great piece of Mega Man merchandise, there's a weird one not too far behind. Case in point: a soon-to-be released plush Proto Man ball. It's ridiculous in every way but you just know it will be everywhere.

This oddity showed up on Great Eastern Entertainment's product database. He's all by his lonesome at the moment, though I'm sure in due time other ball-shaped characters will spawn. Great Easter Entertainment's Mega Man rights limit them to the classic, X and Legends characters. You never know who will show up next.
