Rockman-san Chapter 10 Now Available

Last time on Rockman-san, Rock and Roll went to visit Wood Man. As the substitute of a temple's sacred tree, Wood Man became a figure of adoration... if not, a god.

Now, this week's guest star is none other than Star Man! He's apparently returned to earth after two years working aboard of an orbital station.

If this sounds to your liking, you can check the chapter here!

Mega Man Legends 2's Soundtrack is Coming to Vinyl & Cassette!

The headline for this one speaks for itself, really. Mega Man Legends fans will soon be able to pick up Mega Man Legends 2's fantastic soundtrack on vinyl or audio cassette thanks to Ship to Shore PhonoCo.!

Both formats will be available to pre-order tomorrow, September 28th, at 2pm EST from Ship to Shore's online store. Supply will be limited so bookmark that link ASAP! I do want to note, though, that there's a strong possibility other outlets will carry both formats, too. That was the case with the Legends 1 vinyl. We'll have to wait and see.

That aside, this is great news! I mean, this will be the very first time that the Mega Man Legends 2 OST will be sold in a physical format. The Capcom Special Selection CD from 2009 only contained 17 tracks. That's nothing. So, again, we're in for a real treat here.

Rockman EXE 20th Anniversary: Special Interview with Ryo Takamisaki

We're six months into Rockman EXE's 20th anniversary. Although we continue to wait for additional, special announcements, the past half year hasn't gone entirely eventless.

From the release of the Rockman EXE 20th Anniversary "Treasure Box", the collaboration with Medarot S and new goods already on sale, there's been plenty of smaller things to look forward to.

But now, instead of looking to the future we're taking a look into the series' past. For your consideration, we're pleased to bring you an freshly-translated interview between Coro Coro Online and Ryo Takamisaki from March 2021. Takamisaki needs no introduction... but for those not in-the-know, he's the mangaka behaind the Rockman EXE manga and the Rockman 11 One-Shot.

You can read the interview translated by our friend Sidier after the break!

We Have Secured "Rockman DASH: Great Adventure on 5 Islands!"

Earlier this year, our preservation team secured Rockman EXE Phantom of Network and Rockman EXE Legend of Network. Those games were exclusively released in Japan on feature phones (otherwise known as “dumb phones") in 2004 and 2006, respectively. 

Although that project remains ongoing, we're excited to announce that we've acquired another highly-sought after feature phone game. The little Mega Man Legends spin-off itself, Rockman DASH: Great Adventure on 5 Islands! 

The following guest post by team leader RockmanCosmo will tell you everything you need to know about the"adventure" ahead.

"ROCKMAN ZERO COLLECTION SOUNDTRACK -résonnante vie-" Booklet Translation


Released back in 2011 alongside the "NEW Best Price! 2000" edition of the Rockman Zero Collection, résonnant vie is packed with a selection of 13 acoustic arrangements  from the Zero series. What's more, it was the final Rockman CD distributed by Inti Creates.

This album is a "sound remake" of Rockman Zero's setting. It's based on the paradoxical concept of arranging songs from the mechanical world of Rockman Zero using mainly non-powered live instruments. It re-expresses the strength and mystique of life, such as the concept of a "soul" and the core as a "life-form" that Reploids have acquired despite being mere "machines".

Thanks to our friend Windii Gitlord, you can read the soundtrack's booklet in English after the break!
