Capcom "Retro Station" Officially Revealed + Global Release Confirmed

Following a leaked retail listing in late November, Capcom have officially taken the wraps off of their arcade-style mini console, the Retro Station. An official website for the Retro Station recently went live and it includes a bevvy of new images, screenshots and details. See those here.

The most notable new bits of info here are confirmation of an eventual ENGLISH release and the unveiling of a set of accessories: a fight stick to play two-player games on one Retro Station screen and USB PVP dongles for wireless connections between two individual Retro Station consoles. 

Residents in Japan can pre-order the console now via the official Retro Station online store and, very soon, Amazon Japan. Sales in other regions are reportedly "coming soon!"

For the uninitiated, the Capcom Retro Station comes pre-installed with ten Mega Man and Street Fighter games. Mega Man-wise, the offerings include Mega Man: The Power Battle, Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters, Mega Man X, Mega Man Soccer and Rockman & Forte. With the exception of Rockman & Forte, every Mega Man game listed here is playable in English. Rockman & Forte will be the original, untranslated Super Famicom version

The Retro Station is due in Japan in March, 2021 for 21,780 Yen. That's roughly $210 US. Ouch! Is the price for admission worth it for a few Mega Man games that were missing from the Legacy Collections? Your call!

Rockman X DiVE's New Year Event Announced

A New Year event with a new stage, a new character, a new musical remix, and a new boss is coming next week to Rockman X DiVE. If you weren't already busy playing the "Merry Christmas!" event stage, well, you'll be busy now two concurrent events. Find all the details after the break!

Beloved Rockman DASH Artbook is Getting a Much-Needed Fan-Translation

"Rockman DASH : Capcom Official Creation Data Collection - Great Adventure Guide" is a mouthful of a title that belongs to the undisputed king of Mega Man Legends 1 art books. It's not only chock-full of rare concept art and unused designs, but insightful commentary from the game's staff, too. It's a real sacred tome, let me tell you.

Unfortunately, the book is long out-of-print and never received an official English release. But where Capcom and partners fail to deliver, fans are once again happy to pick up the slack! An extensive English fan-translation is, after all the years, finally underway! Read on for the details!

First look at Icon Heroes' Mega Man Bobbleheads


After the initial renders were published in June and October, we have a look at the final, retail versions of Icon Heroes' Mega Man bobbleheads. They are slated to arrive to retailers in the first quarter of 2021. 

Mega Man and the two Mega Man 10-inspired variants -- Triple Blade (Blade Man's special weapon) and Thunder Wool (Sheep Man's special weapon) -- are made from polystone and hand painted. They measure 8.4" tall. You can pre-order them right now through Icon Heroes' Online Store for $30 each:

Mega Man · Triple Blade · Thunder Wool

Even though these are bobbleheads... don't you think the neck is too long? Let us know in the comments!
