Rockman Unity's getting in on the trickery spirit this year with the unveiling of the "Spring Roll-chan Festival 2015". It's a celebration of Roll in all her splendor. There will be food and merchandise; figures, key chains and stuff!

It's all Roll and it's all not real... or is it?

If you're interested in following the game's progress, you can do so by subscribing to their YouTube channel, or following them on Tumblr and Twitter.

New Images of TruForce's Mega Man X

We're past the grey prototype stage, people.

It Looks Like Those Kidrobot Figures are Actually Happening

If these listings from Entertainment Earth are anything to go by, Kidrobot's 7-inch Mega Man and Proto Man figures aren't dead after all. Not only do we have our first look at the actual figures, we've got a new release window, too: April! Pending official word from Kidrobot, though, we can't say if this is the final date.

In any case, pre-orders are live. Mega Man here, Proto Man here.

Thanks for the tip, Ryan!

Duralumin-Made X and Zero iPhone 6 Cases Teased

GILD Design, a Japanese-based smart phone and motorcycle part manufacturer are looking to produce high-end iPhone 6 cases based on Mega Man X and Zero. The duralumin-made cases are currently up for pre-order from eCapcom for a whopping 12,000 Yen a piece (about $100.31 US).

But wait, there's a bit of a catch here! See, only the case with the most pre-orders will actually be developed. You vote with your pre-order: X here, Zero here. Pre-orders counted to the losing design will not be charged, thankfully. Personally I don't see why they can't produce both. If not now maybe later? I dunno.

If you have the ability to do so, you can pre-order your case of choice in the links above.

Mega Man Unlimited Updated - Challenge Mode, Omega Bosses

By way of Tony Ponce, word has it that Mega Man Unlimited has received a nifty little update update. Version 1.2.2 brings Challenge Mode and its subsequent modes, Omega Bosses and Perfect Robot Master battle.

In Omega battles, each boss is enveloped in a powerful aura that boosts their strength and speed. If you beat an Omega form, their weapon in the main game will have its energy consumption halved. Perfect Robot Master battkes, meanwhile, are self explanatory - beat each bot without getting hit, Mega Buster only.

Give it a whirl here.

Get Glitched with Mega Man-Inspired Platformer 'Glitch Warrior'

Imagine a Mega Man game where your greatest asset is the ability to glitch the game to your advantage.

This is the Last Month to Play Rockman Xover

Twilight is almost upon Rockman Xover. After two long years the free-to-play RPG for iOS and Android is shutting down on March 31st.

For those who are still playing the game let this be your reminder. For everyone else, this is your last chance to check it out. If you'd like to give it a spin before its gone, Appleforce's guide has you covered. He lays out how to get the game, gameplay basics, menu translations, etc. Be aware that you can no longer purchase in-app proprietary currency. Refunds will be taken until Wednesday, September 30th.

And on that note I bid Xover adieu. Whether or not Capcom will follow-up with a successor remains to be seen... maybe it should stay that way.
