Mega Man 11 producer hints at a new game coming to the franchise!

Thanks to some quick interview quotes from 4Gamer we have a big hint coming from Kazuhiro Tsuchiya about a new game being in the works.  From the sounds of it though there won't be a new game next year, but that it will start production.  Here's hoping for Mega Man X9 in 2020!

Here's the full quote :

Kazuhiro Tsuchiya, Producer
Known for: Mega Man 11

“In 2018, we were able to safely release Mega Man 11. This is also a thank-you to all of the game fans. In 2019, I would like to make steady preparations for what’s next, so there may not be any major action, but I hope you can all watch over me with warm eyes…!”

Maverick Hunter X: Giga Mission trailer

A new Mega Man X fan game is in the works and here is the first trailer for it.  This one is a bit different than anything else we've seen and has some neat game mechanics.  It is a side scroller but it has sections with two planes to fight on, you can summon assistance for larger attacks, and it uses sprites much like that found in the Mega Man Xtreme series for Game Boy Color.  Did I mention one of the support characters you can summon is from the infamous Brazilian comic series  Novas Aventuras de Megaman?  Yeah... interesting to say the least.  No word on when this game will be coming, but once it is I'll be sure to post about it.

For updates or more info feel free to follow them on Twitter at the link below :

Here's a posted for the game that shows off the characters a bit more.

The X series turns 25 tomorrow, could this new art be for X9?

A brand new illustration celebrating the 25th anniversary of Rockman X has been revealed and is said to be tied to a new product coming soon to E-Capcom in Japan.  The illustration was done by Keisuke Mizuno who you will recognize made the sleek X design that got used by TruForce Collectibles to make all those incredible action figures.  The Zero design also got used by Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite, but sadly no figure was made.  This new image shows us Axl in this style as well as a little peak at Alia.  Could this new product be an art print?  New figures?  Or maybe (and this might be a stretch) the Rockman X9 reveal?  Only time will tell right now, so sit tight and we'll let you know.

Check out a video of the reveal below :

The NFL media team must have a Mega Man fan...

Today the official NFL Twitter, Facebook, etc posted this photo to hype up tonight's game between the Los Angeles Chargers and the Kansas City Chiefs.  You may notice an extremely strong resemblance to Protoman's Proto Buster and possible Elec Man's lightning attack.  Either way it's great to see Mega Man inspiring media teams out there to do some clever nods to anything Blue Bomber.

Mega Man : Fully Charged is getting a toy line!

A new toy line is emerging and a mysterious play set has appears on Amazon.  It's a Mega Buster that opens up into what appears to be Mega Mini's control room?

The product description leaves much to be desired...

Product description :
An all-new TV series, reimagined for a new generation of fans, follows the adventures of Aki light. Aki is a seemingly regular robo-kid who lives in the futuristic silicon city. However – the secret protocols in his programming can transform him into the powerful hero, Mega Man! equipped with a nano-core armor and a Mega Buster arm cannon, Mega Man is able to absorb the powers of the evil robot Masters threatening to destroy his city. He battles the Wickedest of villains – while learning to balance life as an ordinary robot and an amazing superhero. It’s Mega time!

As you can see it tells nothing about the actual toy itself.  The lone picture also seems to leave some things out at this time... as one would assume that it comes with some figures to actually use the play set.  Once more info is found I will update this page with more product pictures.  Until then the release date is set for January 1st but I doubt that's a real official release date.  The price right now is pretty high as well coming in at right around $65-$70 before shipping.

If you'd like to pre-order it, here is the link below :

Mega Man Zero : Official Complete Works reprints coming next June!

Capcom and Udon Entertainment just recently reprinted the Mega Man and Mega Man X Official Complete Works books and now they just put up the Mega Man Zero version on Amazon as well.  This hardcover book will start shipping next year in June and will run you $44.99 USD.  This is a steal considering the originals go for much more (hundreds, even for softcover) on the second hand market.

The Mega Man themed denim jackets are back!

Remember those extremely rare denim jackets Volante Design made years and years ago that was sold through Capcom's website?  Probably not, but it happened and I got one for my collection.  Now they are back again, and with it is a brand new Proto Man themed jacket as well!  These jackets don't come cheap though, coming in at a cool $375.00 before shipping.  They will only ship to North American addresses as well due to the licensing agreements they made with Capcom.  

Check out the pics below and if you'd like to acquire one of these follow this link :

Capcom making comics to help newcomers to Mega Man 11.

Last night Capcom released the first comic in a series they call "Advice from Dr. Light's Lab".  No idea how many comics will come from this but they are cute to say the least.  This first comic tells the player that it is OK to lower the difficulty of the game if you're having trouble.  Great advice for a newcomer... but I'm sure many past fans of the game would rather spend endless rage inducing runs than lower it themselves.  If this becomes an often event of them posting comics I'll make a new post and keep adding them as they come out.

The original tweet :

Not sure how to jump in to Mega Man 11? Roll has some words of wisdom for our heroic blue 'bot in the first "Advice from Dr. Light's Lab," a series of comics for everyone from newcomers to seasoned veterans! pic.twitter.com/Tb8fvcrSfu

Rockman teams up with Red Bull to take on Tundra Man!

In a very strange collaboration, Mega Man is teaming up with Red Bull in Japan to celebrate their 30th anniversary.  So much so that they've even created an 8-Bit mini game just for the occasion that you can actually collect Red Bull cans instead of E-Tanks to power yourself up (with wings of course, duh).  The main goal of this game is to beat Tundra Man in an ice skating competition.  As weird as this all is... it's brought some really cool artwork and assets to play with, like official 8-Bit sprites and this image below which I re-created from the website asset layers.

The website that contains the game is located here : https://redbull-rockman.com/

Here's a shot of the game where he's already powered up with a Red Bull can and has gained the wings which make him invulnerable to enemies.

Bonus adorable Rockman sprite with Red Bull Wings!

First 4 Figures making another Mega Man statue!

First 4 Figures will be soon showing some details on their next Mega Man statue.  From the looks of things it will be a faithful replica of the Mega Man 11 style Rock and be made of PVC instead of their past few statues which were more expensive and made of resin.  Below is the teaser post by CEO Alex Davis in the First 4 Figures Official Collectors Club on FaceBook.  I'll do what I can get get more info on this as soon as I can so hang tight!

I currently own all of the First 4 Figure Mega Man related statues, but for those of you not familiar with their products, take a gander at the pictures below with links if you'd like to purchase.

New line of Funko action figures revealed!

Funko is coming out with a new line of action figures, and for once they are not their POP! figures which many collectors seem to dislike.  The release date appears to be January 22nd. and the figures will come in 4 variations (one being a Chase) and also a Dr. Wily figure as well!  The initial launch has Dr. Wily, normal blue Mega Man, Thunder Beam, and Leaf Shield with Atomic Fire being the chase of the latter.  They also include extra hands if you don't want his Mega Buster to be equipped.

If you'd like to pre-order them Click Here as they are currently up on Entertainment Earth.  It appears they are also on Amazon if you'd like to order them.

New Mega additions to Smash Bros Ultimate!

Thanks to today's Smash Bros themed Nintendo Direct we now see more Mega Man things join the mix!  Dr. Wily will be joining this mix as an assist trophy that will rain down havoc on your foes in his Wily machine!

Another completely new feature to the game was revealed in the way of a Spirits system which can be collected, leveled, and used to power up your characters.  To earn them you need to complete challenges like fighting Giant Mega Man among other things.

For more info check out the entire Nintendo Direct stream below!

Mega Man Race board game gameplay!

Our friends over at Mega Man Race have now released videos of how the game is played (with subtitles).  This game is still looking great, and we really hope this makes it into production.  Check out both Part 1 & Part 2 below!

E-Capcom Exclusive, Rockman 11 : Complete Edition unboxing

Made my first unboxing video... literally zero production value, but you get the idea.  lol  It's uploading now so you may not be able to see it for a few hours, but I'll be asleep so check out the pics in the meantime and come back later for the video.  😀

The following pictures are of the Collector Amiibo edition and its main box contents.

The following pics are of the collector edition bonus item box that comes with the complete edition only.

 These clear post cards were another even more limited item that only came to people that pre-ordered during the first batch.

These not included in the Complete Edition, but figured someone might like to see the collector edition History of Mega Man book / MM11 players guide.  It also comes with a limited edition and numbered lithograph.
