Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection Development is 50% Complete


Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection's announcement in June was met with a lot of positivity... and several unanswered questions. Many fans were left concerned due to the apparent lack of features (online multiplayer?) and games modes.

Now, thanks to the latest issue of Famitsu, we can say with certainty that the game is exactly 50% completion. That would explain why Capcom set a very vague 2023 release, let alone few in-depth details about the collection's content. 

Jada Toys Teasing Mega Man Line Reveal at SDCC 2022

Premium action figure manufacturer Jada Toys are gearing up for a new Mega Man product line, it seems. 

According to Toy News International, a classic series Mega Man logo was included in Jada Toys' San Diego Comic-Con press junket. This heavily implies we'll see something at their booth (#3746) next week. 

If you want an idea of what could be in store for Mega Man, check out their recently-announced Street Fighter figures. Nifty stuff. Hard to say if Mega Man will be classic series focused or not. The above logo usually accompanies classic... but there have been a few exceptions in the past. Whatever the case, we'll keep an ear to the ground. 

Any pie-in-the-sky figures you want to see from 'em?

English Translation Released for First Two Chapters of Rockman DASH Manhua

Several years after it began, the Rockman DASH manhua translation project is making headway. The first two chapters have been scanned, translated and uploaded to MangaDex courtesy of RockmanCosmo. You can check 'em out here!

The manhua is an officially-licensed, single volume book written and illustrated by Wu Heyi in 2000. It's a pretty faithful re-telling of Rockman DASH 1 with a few fun twists. For example, Rock faces off against Bon Bonne after trashing Tron's Feldynaught. It's different but it kinda works! Also, our boy can totally switch Special Weapons on the fly. Sorry, Roll.

Additional translated chapters are currently in the pipeline. Bookmark the page above and check back soon!

Teppen's 3rd Anniversary Brings "Rising Fire X" Skin to the Game


Teppen is celebrating its 3rd anniversary this month. To mark the occasion, GunHo Online and Capcom have prepared a bunch of new skins for some of the game's heroes, among other things 

Players can try their luck using the free skin pack ticket to get one of twenty hero skins. Rising Fire X stands among the new duds. It's X's second skin next to the Double Cyclone. 

When it comes to Mega Man X-themed cards, things are pretty dry right now. The previous card pack didn't feature any Mega Man X-themed cards, and the latest card pack —Super Spooky Village— only includes a single card.

Check that one out after the break!

RiCO Becomes Playable in Mega Man X DiVE's NA Server Next Week


In the midst of the X-Hunters event, the global version of Mega Man X DiVE shows no signs of giving players a rest. More characters are coming to the game next week. 

While the Asian version released RiCO to celebrate its first anniversary, the global version won't be waiting for its respective anniversary milestone: RiCO's gacha capsule will be available in the NA server next Wednesday. The capsule comes packed with a single free 10-pull.

RiCO's first active skill is Data Recreation, which allows her to deploy an information window to pull a random skill from either Ultimate Armor X (Plasma Charge Shot), Awakened Zero (Genmu Zero) or Iris (Peaceful Wish).

Her second active skill is Data Analysis, which deploys a force-field that inflicts damage and absorbs energy from an enemy. What's more, one of her passive skills will "randomly remove a buff when hitting a target with your weapon attack"

The event stage "ViA's Deep Log Training" will be available at a later date.

When it comes to the EU server, they are getting Bass.EXE GS and the LATAM server will get Sigma (X4 2nd Form). Both capsules include a single free 10-pull too.
