Mega Man : The Wily Wars to get a reproduction cart next year.

The retro gaming accessory company Retro-Bit announced they plan on making reproduction collector carts of the never released stateside Wily Wars game for the Sega Genesis and MegaDrive.  Mega Man : The Wily wars was only released in Japan and Europe and is highly sought after by collectors for its rarity.  A complete and genuine (lots of fakes out there) copy easily reach $400+ on eBay regularly, so this coming out will get the game into more hands.  For those that have never played it, it is a compilation game consisting of remakes of Mega Man, Mega Man 2, and Mega Man 3 and an exclusive game mode called "Wily Tower" once all games are defeated. 

No exact date is confirmed at this time, but it is said it will most likely come out in Q1 2020, but check out their announcement tweet below.

Only physically released in Japan and Europe, we are bringing #MegaMan Wily Wars to North America for both #Genesis & #MegaDrive -- Get ready for a collector's edition that includes many extras! 🌟
More details on this release will come soon!#Gamescom2019 #retrogaming #Capcom pic.twitter.com/U9BRzjLzxb

And the winners are...!

First 4 Figures reveal prototypes of the Mega Man 11 statues.

Our friends over at First 4 Figures have a booth at Gamescom 2019, and this year they brought their upcoming prototypes for their new Mega Man 11 statues in PVC and Resin.  As you can see below the resin (on the right) is much larger and offers a few more details and additions to the base.  As of right now there is no release date or price available but check out the other pictures below to see the current paint scheme they are going for on the statues and a few more detailed pics.

PVC on the left, Resin on the right. (ignore the Mega Man X logo, they fixed it later)

Mega Man Royale is now playable!

A new fan game just entered in its Beta stage. Likely inspired by the late Mario Royale, JannyWare has been working on Mega Man Royale, and it is now in its Beta release!

Follow them on Twitter for updates: https://twitter.com/jannyware/

To play, all you need is a web browser. Go to http://megamanroyale.com/, type in your name and enter the lobby! There you can try out your controls and battle it out with other players in a safe environment. Mark yourself as ready, wait for your competitors to as well, and you can just start!

As soon as you start, you will be thrown into one of the most classic Mega Man stages. You start with only your Buster and Rush Coil, but enemies will drop weapons randomly. Make it through the stage as fast as you can, and brag about being faster than anyone else!

Mega Man live action movie most likely cancelled.

Disney announced that Fox would be cancelling most of it's productions that were planned due to the studio posting a $170 million loss in the fiscal 3rd quarter.  A large part of that loss being the giant flop from the recent movie Dark Phoenix.  This almost pretty much guarantees the Mega Man movie is going to never see the light of day anytime soon, or ever.  This will come to a relief of many who knew it would be horrible if it came to light, and a disappointment to those who truly wanted to see what could happen.  Maybe some day we'll get a movie we deserve, but for now that day isn't coming any time soon.
