Rockman 20XX: Tatakae! Team Shachi!, an 8-bit browser game by Capcom and Team Shachi, will cease operations on August 31st.
Originally launched in 2019, Rockman 20XX presents a goofy, non-canon storyline that takes place after the events of the classic series. Rockman has retired and now resides in an old robot retirement home alongside Blues and Roll. Team Shachi, the embodiment of benevolence, graces the retirement home with a heartwarming concert. Laughter and joy fill the air until an unexpected twist occurs—a sinister AI version of Dr. Wily emerges and corrupts Rockman, morphing him into a malevolent super robot.
In the face of this looming threat, Dr. Light's AI bestows the members of Team Shachi with the ability to transform into super fighting robots. Their mission: thwart Dr. Wily and his team of geriatric Robot Masters. Yeah!
If you haven't had the chance to play the game yet, now is the time. It's available to play directly in your browser here. Regarding the future preservation of the game, there are no specific details to share at this time. However, if any developments arise, I will certainly keep you updated!

On April 27, Capcom reported 1 million units sold within two weeks following the title's release. Today's update confirms that, from April 27 to June 30, the collection sold an additional 320k units.
As of now, Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection is the 5th best selling game in the franchise following Mega Man 11 (1.70 M), Mega Man 2 (1.51 M), Mega Man Legacy Collection (1.40 M) and Mega Man Battle Network 4 (1.35 M). At this pace, it is well on its way to the top.
Further, thanks in large part to Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection's outstanding performance, the Mega Man franchise as a whole jumped from 38 million units to 40 million units sold. A remarkable and well-deserved achievement at last.
Jada Toys has delivered on their promise and revealed the complete Wave 3 lineup for their brand-new Mega Man collection at the San Diego Comic-Con (booth #3477).

We'll have more details on Wave 3 soon. In the meantime, pre-orders are live for Wave 1! Grab those from Big Bad Toystore and Entertainment Earth if you haven't already.

We've seen a lot of third-party and fan-made projects here over at the old Rockman Corner. However, this one is a first. Thailand based custom PC builder Juggapat Modifier has unveiled his latest build: a fully-functioning Mega Man X PC case. And it's massive.
High resolution scans of the long-out-of-print Rockman DASH 2 Final Digouter's File are now available at the Internet Archive courtesy of our friends Vii (@0xmortis) and RockmanCosmo. This book's contents have been sporadically shared online over the years, but never before in such excellent quality and all in one place.
While the majority of the book serves as a game guide, it also includes several pages of rare and never-republished concept artwork. You'll find a treasure trove of unused Bonne and Glyde Gangs mechs, Reaverbots, characters, and more odds and ends like Rock Volnutt's civilian clothing. There's even a few early cutscene story boards too!
Please note that the scans are currently presented in their original Japanese format. However, if there's enough interest in a full scanlation similar to the Great Adventure Guide, this miiiight be something we can pursue in the future.
For now, hit up the link above and thumb through this fantastic piece of history!
Mega Man: Fully Charged may have had a short lifespan, but its memory endures. While the show holds a special place in the hearts of its small yet vocal fanbase, it also lingers in the thoughts of its former crew.
Paul Johnson, who contributed to the show's various pixel-art segments in 2017, recently shared a behind-the-scenes glimpse of his process. He demonstrated how he transformed the initial 3D models into pixel art, simplifying and diluting their most notable features while still maintaining recognizable designs for the show's primary cast of villains.
Overall, it's a fun watch. There's some great trivia here for fans, plus a glimpse of early, unused designs too! Check it out, if you're so inclined!

Last month, Capcom Town shared ten pages from the original, never-before-publicized Mega Man 1 design document. The pages unveiled a collection of early game mechanics, ideas, and concept designs by Akira Kitamura that had never been revealed previously. These include different versions of the unused Robot Master Bond Man and Oil Man, along with other fascinating details.
Unfortunately, Capcom didn't provide an official English translation. But thanks to our helpful friend Windii, we now have the complete document translated into English! You can download it here or view each page below after the break. There's a lot to read and see -- it's a real treat.
