Mega Man ZX, Mega Man Legends Timelines Get Back-to-Back Late October Release

Mega Man ZX Timelines and Mega Man Legends Timelines are on the way to comic shops at last. After a brief delay, Lunar Distribution - Udon Entertainment's primary distributor - has scheduled ZX Timelines for October 22 and Legends Timelines for October 29. These dates now appear to be final and should also signal when pre-ordered copies will begin arriving in mailboxes.

If you're just catching up, here are the solicitations:

Mega Man ZX - Centuries in the future, a battle is fought over control of the Biometals – living artifacts that contain powerful weapon data! One person stands in the way of the destructive Pseudoroids and their hidden master using this power for evil – Vent, a Mega Man with the combined powers of Biometal Z and Biometal X!

Mega Man Legends - Far in the future, the Digger known as MegaMan Volnutt has discovered a valuable artifact from the distant past. Could it be the secret to unlocking a long-forgotten technology? The thieving Tron Bonne just wants to know… how much is it worth!? It’s an all-new adventure in the Halcyon Days!

Shingo Izumi Named as Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection Producer

Shingo Izumi joined Capcom in 2018 and first appeared on the Mega Man front in the Secret Level episode Mega Man: Start, credited as one of two new development team members. Today, Rockman Unity confirmed Izumi as the producer of Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection. He’ll also appear at the game’s special stage at Tokyo Game Show on Sunday, September 28, at 10:00 JST, alongside Rockman Unity’s Ucchy-san and comedian Go☆Jas.

The question now is whether Izumi has become the new front man for the Mega Man IP, stepping in after Kazuhiro Tsuchiya’s departure from Capcom in 2023. This news doesn’t confirm it outright, but his growing involvement with the series—from Secret Level to Star Force Legacy Collection—does point in that direction. 

Maybe we’ll hear more next Sunday. Or not. Either way, fresh updates on the collection are coming soon.

Mega Man Coming to Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds as DLC

Early copies of Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds are surfacing as some retailers appear to be breaking the street date ahead of its official September 25th release. Inside the case, a postcard reportedly reveals the final paid DLC pack: Mega Man. Judging by the logo, it appears to be none other than the classic series Blue Bomber.

Fans have been hoping Mega Man would make the cut ever since CrossWorlds was first announced, especially after years of official but non-game crossovers with Sonic the Hedgehog—the most notable being the Archie Comics Worlds Collide saga. If this insert is genuine, CrossWorlds would mark the first time Mega Man and Sonic appear together in a major Sonic title.

Stay tuned for updates!

Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection Screenshots, Art

Captured from the extended Japanese trailer, I've compiled a batch of screenshots from Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection and high-resolution art assets provided by Capcom. 

The footage covered a few features not confirmed in Capcom's initial press release, including multiple screen orientation options, upscaled 3D models, the return of Battle Network Legacy Collection's "smooth" filter, a music player, and more.

Review: Kotobukiya Axl White Version

The Mega Man X series is famous for many things, but one of the most distinctive elements is the variety of Armors worn by its characters. X is the face of this tradition, though Zero, Vile, and Sigma have each sported multiple designs over the years. Then there’s the most enigmatic member of the cast: Axl. In Mega Man X8, Axl received a mysterious upgrade known only as “???”—better remembered by fans as White Axl. For over two decades, this design has gone without a proper figure, until now. To my surprise, Kotobukiya has finally answered the call. We know their track record speaks for itself, but just how impressive is this release? Let’s take a closer look!

Kotobukiya Announces "Zero 1st Ver." Model Kit (Update)

After Monday’s tease, Kotobukiya officially announced a new Zero model kit today. As expected, it’s the first version of Zero from the original Mega Man X game.

Kotobukiya Hints at New Mega Man X Series Kit With “Iron Pipe” Tease

Kotobukiya Japan dropped a cheeky tease on Twitter, posting a picture of an iron pipe accessory alongside the caption: “New info from the Rockman X plastic model series! At long last, a new product… the ‘Iron Pipe’ is getting a release!? It’s just an iron pipe, but as a plastic model… what could this mean!? Details will be revealed on Wednesday, September 3, 2025, so please look forward to it!”

So, why an iron pipe? Fans will recall that Zero wielded one during his very first encounter with Sigma in the events leading up to Mega Man X1. That makes this tease easy to read as either a nod to a potential pre-X1 Zero kit (with the pipe as an accessory) or as an add-on for the already-announced Sigma kit. But given that the tweet carefully described it as a new product the wording feels very deliberate. 

Either way, the mystery won’t last long; we’ll know for sure in just a few days.

Review: Kotobukiya Mega Man 11 Scramble Thunder & Pile Drive

After a short delay, Kotobukiya has finally released the latest kits in their Mega Man Classic line. This time, we got two Special Weapon based kits from Mega Man 11: Scramble Thunder and Pile Drive. Are they worth the wait, and do they stay true to the source material? After the break, I’ll cover everything you need to know!
