Kotobukiya's newest release is finally here, and this time, it's Zero. But this isn't just any Zero. This is the one that started it all! Today we will be going over Zero as he was depicted in both the original Mega Man X, as well as various flashbacks from across the series. Did Kotobukiya stick the landing? Find out after the break!
20XXpo, a fan-built convention dedicated entirely to Mega Man, has launched its Kickstarter campaign.
The event is planned for August 27–29, 2027 at the Lynnwood Event Center in Lynnwood, Washington, lining up with Mega Man’s 40th anniversary. Organized by members of the Mega Man-athon team and MAGFest staff, the three-day convention aims to bring together several corners of the Mega Man community, including speedrunning, live music, cosplay, fan-games, voice actor Q&As, and more.

Need more Mega Man 2 in your life? Look no further, friend. Capcom has teamed up with My Play Watch to release an official digital gaming watch that includes a "reimagined" version of Mega Man 2 adapted for one-hand play.
The watch includes a few different ways to play. Classic Mode lets you pick from multiple Robot Master stages, take down bosses, etc. Arcade Mode strings stages together with increasing speed and difficulty, with a scoring system as the main hook. There’s also Play Time Mode, which is less “game” and more animated Mega Man watch faces, complete with pixel art and themed displays.
Beyond Mega Man 2, it does the usual digital watch things too: time keeping, step tracking, heart rate monitoring, and calories. There’s no Bluetooth, no Wi-Fi, no notifications, and no apps so if you're looking to replace your smartwatch with this, maybe don't.
The watch is currently available to pre-order exclusively from GameStop for $79.99. It's expected to ship on June 16th.
To whet your appetite, writer Daniel Arseneault has shared a pair of preview pages from the issue, along with the following tease:
“Set during Mega Man 7, Dr. Light is repairing the recently damaged Bass that Mega Man found, but what is Bass really planning? Will Proto Man be able to stop him?”
Free Comic Book Day takes place Saturday, May 2nd, at participating comic shops and libraries.
Earlier this month, X-Plus announced plans to reissue its Gigantic Series Rockman figure. Now, Roll is joining him, with a reissue of the 11.8 inch figure planned for release in August.
Reservations are coming soon, with an expected 16,500 yen price tag (or roughly $103 USD). The figure appears to be the same as its original 2016 release, though like the Rockman reissue, this version of Roll seems to include a chibi accessory.
We'll keep an eye out for pre-orders!

While Mega Man Xtreme still hasn’t received a proper modern port through a Legacy Collection, fans of the Game Boy Color title now have something pretty close to celebrate.
Tommycase has released Mega Man DXtreme, an enhanced PC revamp of Mega Man Xtreme by CX2 Team with improved controls, widescreen support, a reimagined story, new graphics, and several other upgrades. You can see it in action in the trailer above!
You can download the full game from Tommycase’s itch.io page here. A browser version is also available.

In 1996, Capcom and Nagaoka Shoten published a Rockman X3 pop-up book exclusively in Japan, adapting the game into a hands-on craft book where young readers could assemble scenes from the game.
While a neat collectible in its own right, the book has long been sought after by fans because it contains original cel-painted artwork not seen in any other X3 media. It also hasn’t been reprinted anywhere else.
Now, for the first time, the book’s contents have been preserved thanks to Epsilon1234. All 48 pages, along with the accompanying artwork, can be viewed on the Internet Archive across two uploads: scans of the 21 artwork pages and photographs of the full book, including the non-art pages.
And if you have a high-quality printer, you could even try printing the individual pages and assembling the dioramas yourself. If not, there’s still plenty of great pieces here to enjoy.
Capcom has made good on its word and released the free Mega Man Battle Network BGM DLC pack for Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection. It's available to download now on all platforms, though the Switch eShop hasn't updated with the pack at the time of writing.
As previously confirmed, the DLC includes 43 tracks from across the Battle Network series, including Mega Man Battle Network 4.5 and Mega Man Battle Network 5: Double Team DS. The music can be played in the Gallery, and players can also add tracks to their Favorites playlist to hear them during battle.
You can check out the full track list above!

The drip-feed of miscellaneous Mega Man: Dual Override merchandise continues with the reveal of an official pullover hoodie exclusive to e-Capcom. Styled after Mega Man’s updated look in the game, the hoodie also includes a couple of details worth pointing out.
Most obvious is the “12” front and center, another not-so-subtle nod to Dual Override being the 12th mainline entry in the classic series. More intriguing, though, is the mention of an “Override System” printed across the drawstrings. It does not shed any new light on what “Dual Override” specifically refers to, but it is the clearest sign yet that the term is tied to something substantial within the game itself, and possibly to Mega Man’s abilities.
What exactly the Override System is remains anyone’s guess for now, but if you ask me, it has all the makings of the game’s central mechanic, much like Mega Man 11’s Double Gear System.
More updates in time...
No, Pragmata isn't a Mega Man game. That much is obvious. But that hasn't stopped Capcom from having a little fun with the fan theory that's become something of a meme, whether through cross-promotional tweets or that pretty great April Fool's joke.
And apparently, that playfulness doesn't end there. Now that Pragmata is finally in players' hands, some have started spotting a small Blue Bomber reference tucked away in the game...
