Rockman X-DiVE coming March 24th!

Announced early this morning... Rockman X-DiVE is available on March 24th!  Pre-Registration has also gone past the newest goal of 500,000... so everyone who pre-registered will get the S-Rank weapon they promised!

Still have pre-registered???  Here's the link : http://event.capcom.com.tw/rxd/obt_0203/en-US.html

Extraordinary Mortar : S-Rank Weapon for reaching 500,000 pre-registrations!

All the rewards coming!

Countertop arcade machine coming from Arcade1up!

Revealed at CES this year was this Arcade1Up "counter-cade" with Mega Man 1 and 2 on board.  No release date or pricing as of yet... but supposedly sometime this later this year just like the plug and play controller also in the works.

The funniest part of this packaging (prototype shown) is that the screen appears to be playing Mega Man X3.  Most likely this will be fixed before it gets to stores much like the recent "Megan" Man Zero collections that were displayed.

Pre-Registration for Rockman X-DiVE event live!

Today pre-registration for Rockman X-DiVE begins!  If you register you will automatically get Alia as a playable character from the start (instead of having to unlock her).  Also depending on how many people pre-register we will all get extra starting weapons sent to our accounts!  Currently only date we've seen for release so far is March 4th, 2020 from the Taiwanese version of the Google Play store...so let's hope that's the date for the rest of the world as well.

NOTE :
Currently the game is only available for pre-download in the following regions : Taiwan, Hong Kong,
Macau, Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, Cambodia, Australia, and India.

Here's the link to go and register!  http://event.capcom.com.tw/rxd/obt_0203/en-US.html

The time is finally near!  Mega Man is coming to Dragalia Lost next week!  During this event you'll be able to play as our blue hero, transform and ride Rush (instead of a dragon form), and collect Mega Man themed buster weapons of every type so all of your hero's can do buster shots.  You'll definitely want to play the event all the way through and unlock everything so you can keep Mega Man on your team all year round.  As usual you'll just have to complete enough quests to max your friendship meter and he's yours to keep!  There's a ton of other cool Mega Man related things in the event as well so check out their full event page at the following link and be sure to watch the trailer below! https://dragalialost.com/en/event/megaman/

Capcom says the live action Mega Man movie is still happening.

Yesterday Capcom of Japan released their Financial Review for the year and there was one small paragraph that is raising some eyebrows... they still plan on making the Mega Man movie!  Only two months ago we all thought this project was doomed, and to some it was a sigh of relief, and to others it was a disappointment that yet another Mega project got cancelled.  Well to those who wanted it can now get some of their hope back because it looks like there's still a chance it might get made.  (How good it will be is another matter...).  So keep your eyes and ears open for some updates on this as we find out more.

Here is the quote from the financial report mentioning it :

As such, to generate synergy with its popular games via greater global brand awareness and value, the Company has been producing world-leading content, with brands such as Street Fighter and Resident Evil being made into Hollywood movies, now followed by Monster Hunter and Mega Man, which are also scheduled for live-action film adaptation.

Rockman X DiVE, a new Mega Man X game is coming to mobile!

Just announced today by Capcom Taiwan is Rockman X DiVE a new game coming to Android and iOS devices.  The game will be released in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau regions and so far there is no release date mentioned.  There is supposedly a global release version in the works, but again, no date for that either.  Fingers crossed it comes shortly after the other release!

The story is about a computer system that stores all Mega Man X game data and it has been corrupted, which is why all of the characters seem to be mixed in together.  Your job will be to rescue and repair this data.  So far Mega Man, Zero, and Axl are known the be playable characters.  Hopefully this is a precursor to Capcom announcing Mega Man X9...  only time will tell.  

Be sure and check out the trailer below or check out the website Capcom has set up for the new game at http://rxd.capcom.com.tw/
