Rockman EXE 15th Ann. Celebration Continues With Cute Keyholders

Rockman EXE's 15th anniversary has brought us new soundtracks, figures and reprinted manga. The next batch of commemorative goods isn't nearly as exciting but they're pretty cute: acrylic keyholders!

Seven in all, these little guys will guard your keys and other miscellaneous pocket commodities with their life. The identity of the seventh character is shrouded in mystery, though I'm willing to bet it's Forte. It's always Forte.

The set is expected to retail for 4,000 Yen ($40 US) and ships from E-Capcom late September.

Mega Man Franchise Reaches 31 Million Units Sold

Capcom's Investor Relations page has updated to reflect the cumulative growth of various intellectual properties, with Mega Man in particular having amassed 31 million units worldwide (as of June 30th, 2016). The franchise now ranks fourth in Capcom's heavy hitters catalog behind Monster Hunter, Street Fighter, and Resident Evil.

The number includes 134 titles released across a 29-year period. When we last checked in, the franchise was sitting at 30 million in 2013. Due to a lack of titles released within this three year period, today's milestone is minimal at best. It goes without saying Mega Man Legacy Collection contributed to the bump - exactly how much we do not know.

EDIT: For those claiming it's been 31 million for a while now, check the archives. It was 30 million from 2013-2015. From this, we can deduce MMLC helped push it along January 1st onward.

Rumor: Game Based on New Mega Man Cartoon in Development

The Mega Man Network brings us a doozy of a rumor today, one not entirely out of the realm of possibility. According to an anonymous but close source, a game based on Man of Action's 2017 Mega Man cartoon is in under way. It will purportedly launch in "two forms": a main version developed by Capcom for home consoles, PC and PlayStation Vita and a "weaker" version for Nintendo 3DS and mobile. You can read the full details of the rumor here.

Personally, I'm a bit skeptical on this one...

Rock On! Mega Man ZX Turns 10

Today marks the tenth anniversary of the Mega Man ZX series, which first released in Japan on July 6th, 2006. Mega Man ZX is regarded as a worthy extension to the Mega Man Zero. The game iterates on the template of Mega Man Zero 1, refining and expanding the concept of interconnected stages. What's more, it's also the first traditional Mega Man game to introduce a playable female protagonist.

Although considered the least successful of all Mega Man series, ZX is not without its admirers - a small but devoted group of fans pumping out art, garage kits, and musical remixes even today. Mega Man ZX 3 may be a distant pipe dream, but you can count on these guys to pick up Capcom's slack. So to you ZX fans out there, this is your day of celebration.
