Classic Mega Man and Roll Caskett Costumes Coming to Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition

Costumes based on classic Mega Man and Roll Caskett are heading to Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition on February 26th, Capcom announced. These are costumes for Ryu and Sakura, respectively. They'll set you back $3.99 a piece. Official descriptions below:

Mega Man for Ryu (Mega Man) – Mega Man needs no introduction, as the Blue Bomber and hero of 20XX is just as iconic as Ryu. In fact, if you look really closely, a charged Mega Buster shot almost resembles a Hadoken, making this costume a perfect fit for Ryu! This costume is available for purchase for MSRP $3.99.

Roll for Sakura (Mega Man) – Those familiar with the Mega Man series are probably familiar with Roll, Mega Man’s “little sister” and Dr. Light’s assistant. In the Mega Man Legends games, Roll Caskett is a different character entirely – a genius mechanic and best friend of Mega Man Volnutt who’s searching for a grand treasure. This costume is available for purchase for MSRP $3.99.

More details available via Capcom Unity!

Here's All of the Neat (and Unusual) Mega Man Toys From Toy Fair 2019

There weren't too many new Mega Man products on display at this year's New York Toy Fair. What was there, however, was... well, you'll see.

"Dr. Light's Research Journal" Now Available in English!

Dropbox | Drive | Mediafire

My first Patreon-backed project has reached its conclusion! "Dr. Light's Research Journal" – a 52-page collection of notes from the good doctor taking place before, during and after the events of Mega Man 1 – has been translated into English. You can download the PDF from the links above!

These notes were originally included in the mini 2016-2017 planner that came with the out-of-print, e-Capcom exclusive Rockman Classics Collection Limited Edition Package (for Nintendo 3DS). The notes provide a bit of backstory on the birth of the six DLN Robot Masters, among other things. We learn about how Dr. Light was commissioned to design six robots by an "administration", the development of his patented "Ceratanium", and the eventual crisis that leads directly into the events of Mega Man 1.

The notes also provide us with some cute slice-of-life moments, too. For instance, did you know Cut Man shaved Dr. Light's beard in his sleep? Or how about the time Light invited Rock and Roll out to karaoke? Or that time Reggae spied on the Light family? And did you know about Dr. Light's penchant for fighting games? He wants to master the Shoryuken and Hadouken for real, you know.

This project couldn't have happened without my Patreon supporters. Thanks to you, we were able to obtain the physical journal, scan it, translate it, and clean it up. Translation credit goes to my old friend Midori Woodley. Typesetting and imaging honors go to the great Reploid_21XX! You guys rock.

More Patreon-backed projects surrounding the documentation and research of various pieces of rare and lost Mega Man history are coming down the pike. As always, your support is very much appreciated. It's a dollar to start; no paywalled content. Learn more here!
