Rockman X DiVE - Alia and Pallette Models Updated

Leading up to the eventual launch of Rockman X DiVE on iOS and Android devices, the development team at Capcom Korea have provided fans with a little peek at some cosmetic changes being made to Alia and Pallette. As you can see above, the extra polish has allowed the Navigators to appear more "on model". Pallette in particular looks more like herself.

Now, as for when we can play the final version of Rockman X DiVE, well, we really don't have an answer anymore. Originally, Capcom Korea intended on launching the game before the end of 2019 and holding a public beta test as well... all before January 1st, 2020. That was the goal. However, the development team haven't said much, if anything about dates since October. Pending official word from Capcom Korea, we can only assume Rockman X DiVE has been delayed into 2020.

With Mega Man's 32 anniversary and Mega Man X's 26th anniversary happening in just a couple short days (December 17th), perhaps that will be an opportune time to announce the new release date... or shadow drop the game itself. We shall see!

You Might Need to Pre-Order Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection Digitally on PS4 Again

If you pre-ordered the digital version of Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection on PlayStation 4 before the game was delayed to February 25th, you might need to go back and pre-order again. The following message is being sent out to some PS4 users:

"Due to the recent change in release date for Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection, your pre-order has been cancelled.

You have been refunded back to your original payment source. If your original payment source
was unavailable, we refunded the purchase amount to your PSN wallet."

So yeah, it's probably a good idea to check and see if your initial pre-order is still valid. Again, this only applies to the digital PlayStation 4 version.

Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection is due on February 25th, 2019.

Thanks for the tip, SonyOfLaststation!

New Image of Rockman Zero/ZX Double Hero Collection Bust + Vent/Aile Art

Rockman Unity brings us a brand-new look at the bust that comes with the Japanese Rockman Zero/ZX Double Hero Collection limited edition. First revealed back in August, the bust stands at roughly 5-inches tall and depicts a split image of Zero and Vent/Aile. The limited edition set can be pre-ordered exclusively through e-Capcom:

• Rockman Zero/ZX Legacy Collection Limited Editon (Nintendo Switch ver.)
• Rockman Zero/ZX Legacy Collection Limited Editon (PlayStation ver.)

What's more, only in Japan, a lottery is taking place to win an exclusive Vent and Aile print illustrated and signed by Toru Nakayama. Everyone who buys/pre-orders the game through e-Capcom will be automatically entered in the drawing to win. It's unlikely any of us will win but, hey, nothing can stop you from admiring some new art. Check it out above!

Mega Man X Command Mission 2004 Developer Interview Translated

Thanks to my buddy Frank deWindt, we were able to obtain a copy of the "Rockman X Command Mission Complete Bible", a relatively chunky-sized guidebook for Mega Man X Command Mission. I'll be hosting scans of the entire book on the Rockman Corner Dropbox in the very near future. For now, however, we have a little treat to tide you over.

After the jump below, you'll find a previously untranslated interview with the game's development staff. A lot of interesting topics are touched upon... including brief mention of a hypothetical Command Mission 2! (although nothing came of it).

Mini-Games and New Illustration Added to Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection

Some days ago a new piece of art by Keisuke Mizuno was teased by Rockman Unity, whose purpose wasn't exactly clear. Now it turns out that the finished colored version will appear in the "Gallery Mode" of the Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection alongside more than 650 pieces of artwork and concept art.

Furthermore, via all of the official channels, it has been announced that the mini-games from Mega Man Zero 3, Mega Man Zero 4, Mega Man ZX and Mega Man ZX Advent will be included in the collection.

More details after the break!

Rockman ZX Advent Manga English and Spanish Translation Issue #1

The manga adaptation of Rockman ZX by Shin Ogino was originally serialized in "Fami2 Comica" between August 2006 and August 2007. It was supplied with "Famitsu DS + Cube & Advance" magazine with a tankoban release. Some time later, the manga recieved an official English translation by Udon Entertainment in 2010.

Following the release of Rockman ZX Advent, Shin Ogino returned to adapt the game in manga form. His work was once again serialized in Fami2 Comics between September 2007 to April 2008 spanning eight installments. Unfortunately, unlike the original ZX manga, Ogino's Rockman ZX Advent adaptation didn't receive a collected release nor was it ever translated in English... Until now!

The Story of Shigeto Ikehara's Mega Man Manga

It's been nearly 28-years since Shigeto Ikehara's Mega Man manga adaptation graced the black-and-white pages of Comic BomBom. In that time, zero–count them—zero of Ikehara's Mega Man stories have been translated into English. Don't bother asking me why. I don't believe an actual answer ever came to light. It's just the sad reality we live in.

But, hey, all isn't entirely lost. We have folks like Gaijillionaire to enlighten us on what we're missing. The latest episode of "GTV" is "The Story of Mega Man in Manga Form" – a visual, narrated reading Ikehara's first Mega Man book. It's a dramatic (and admittedly cute) retelling of the events of Mega Man 1 from start to finish. 

So grab an E-Tank, sit back, relax and tune in! If you like what you saw, send a tweet to @UdonEnt! Maybe with enough fan-support they'll finally bring these to our shores.
