DiVE Armor Zero Joins Mega Man X DiVE This Week

In the midst of the Easter Event, the North American server of Mega Man X DiVE's global version sees the debut of DiVE Armor Zero this week. The Capsule comes packed with a single free 10-pull and DiVE Armor Zero drop rate will be up to 2%.

DiVE Armor Zero is based on the level 80 armor with some color changes. If you want to know more about his design, you can check this brief Q&A session with Keisuke Mizuno.

When it comes to the game's other servers, the EU server will get Bass Cross MegaMan with a single free 10-pull and the LATAM server will get Eratoeir with a single free 10-pull too.

And that's all we can tell you this week. For more information check the developer's social media or the game itself this coming Wednesday!

Capcom Posts HD Remastered Rockman EXE the Movie to YouTube

As previously announced, Capcom uploaded Rockman EXE the Movie: Programs of Light and Darkness to YouTube. But what's even more exciting is that the movie has been remastered in HD! This marks the first time the movie has been shown in its native resolution, as it has yet to be released on Blu-Ray or any streaming/digital platform.

Unfortunately, this version does not feature official subtitles and it will only be online until May 31st. However, I'm confident that the Battle Network community will take the initiative to address both of these issues in some way. 

In the meantime, feel free to check out the video above. As a special bonus, Rockman Unity provided a peek at some of the movie's production materials. You can check those out here!

Dark Rockman Joins 3rd Rockman EXE and Medarot S Crossover Event

A third collaboration between the Rockman EXE series and the mobile game Medarot S has been announced out of the blue, and it's expected to drop on April 6th!

Compared to the previous two collaborations, this one may not be as remarkable since the only new feature added to the game is the Dark Trance Medarot, inspired by Dark Rockman. Players can acquire this Medarot through the Pick Up gacha and other special collab gacha banners that will be available starting this Thursday.

What's more? All the Rockman EXE inspired Medarots, costumes and BGM tracks from the previous collabs will be available once again.

If you wish to check the announcement stream you can do so here!

Rockman DASH Manhua English Scanlation Project Completed

The Rockman DASH manhua scanlation project is finally complete! Originally released in 2001 in Chinese by Wu Heyi, this official comic is a humorous retelling of the game. While the book has been out of print for years, it has never been fully translated into English - until now. 

Thanks to the hard work of the translation team, the entire manhua is available to read for free on MangaDex and RockmanCosmo's website. A downloadable PDF version is available from the latter as well.

Although it may not be the most well-known piece of DASH media, it's definitely worth checking out if you're a fan of the series. Hit up those links above!

Easter Roll Joins Mega Man X DiVE This Week

Coming to the global version of Mega Man X DiVE this Wednesday, all servers will celebrate the Easter festivity with the arrival of the limited character Easter Roll. Plus, there's a new event called "Easter Eggs Are Yours to Collect!" where players have to collect 8 Easter Eggs.

You can expect the usual rewards from the event reward list with the card "Rabbit? Easter eggs!" as the main attraction. Easter Roll's capsule comes packed with a free 10-pull.

What's more? A Popularity Pick Up capsule featuring ViA and Dr. Light the Martial Artist will be available on all servers too.

Lastly, the next round of the Guild Boss event will take place in all servers. The North American and EU servers will tackle Sigma (X3 1st Form) and the LATAM server will fight against Hell Sigma.

Happy Easter!

Rockman EXE: Programs of Light and Darkness Movie to Stream on YouTube April 7th

More fun news, EXE crew! For the first time ever, the Rockman EXE theatrical movie, Rockman EXE: Programs of Light and Darkness, will stream for free on Capcom Japan's YouTube channel on April 7th. The stream kicks off at 21:00 JST.

It's currently unknown whether English subtitles will be available. The movie was never distributed outside of Japan, primarily due to the lack of an NT Warrior equivalent to Rockman EXE Stream. While fan-subs have been around for some time, an official release with subtitles would be highly appreciated by many.

We'll keep you posted if anything pops up. Stay tuned!

Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection Off-Screen Images - Trophies, Mystery Data Gallery & More

Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection Vol. 1 was featured at the Justdan Game Festival in Taiwan Festival last week. One lucky fan had the opportunity to go hands-on with Mega Man Battle Network 3 and captured some interesting images. Spoilers, I guess?

New Mega Man Battle Network Manga Chapter Released

A brand-new chapter of the Mega Man NT Warrior manga has just been released in English, penned once again by Ryo Takamisaki. 

The story takes place 20 years after the events of the original manga's final chapter, and follows the gang as they attend their 20-year reunion at DenTech Academy. The chapter also features Takamisaki's take on Patch Hikari - Lan and Mayl's son. Be sure to check out the complete English translation right here! 

Kudos to Capcom for distributing the chapter in Japanese and English simultaneously. This is an unprecedented and remarkable move, especially considering it has been decades since Takamisaki's work has been officially translated into English. 

Truly, Battle Network fans are eating well.

Rockman EXE Advanced Collection TV Commercial is a Real Tearjerker

Capcom Japan published the official commercial for the highly-anticipated Rockman EXE Advanced Collection, which will definitely stir up feelings of nostalgia. Its also a reminder of how much time has passed since the original release, making some of us realize just how old we've become. (A second version focused on the anime can be found here)

Nonetheless, the ad is heartwarming and indicative of Capcom's commitment to Advanced Collection, as it's the first commercial for *any* Legacy Collection... not to mention the first EXE ad in over fifteen years.

Only a couple weeks left! 

Mega Man NT Warrior English Dub Finally Arrives on YouTube

Good on their promise, Capcom USA has uploaded every episode of Mega Man NT Warrior and Mega Man NT Warrior Axess on YouTube -- for free.

If you're interested in checking them out, you can find the playlist for season 1 here, and season 2 (Axess) here. These episodes will no longer be available to watch after September 23rd, 2023.

Do keep in mind that the first episode of Axess is presented in Japanese with English subtitles. For reasons not currently known, the dubbed version is unavailable. Also of note, Capcom went so far as to include Axess episode 30 "AquaMan in Love", which never aired in the United States during the show's tenure at Kids WB.

The Mega Man NT Warrior Twitch marathon presented by Capcom USA concludes tomorrow, March 24th. Although there is no official confirmation, several fans are optimistic that the event will end with news regarding availability of the series on additional streaming platforms or a DVD/Blu-ray release. We'll keep an ear to the ground.
