Hey, Mega Man fans! This is RockmanCosmo, the leader of SciLab Secrets – the team working to preserve lost Rockman games released on Japanese feature phones (keitai). I’m happy to announce that Yuvi, a member of the SciLab Secrets team, has preserved the Japanese-exclusive i-mode port of Rockman X! More than just a mobile port, it has online leaderboards, which are now revived thanks to Yuvi. Read on for more details and how you can play it right now!

In 2023, an HD remastered version of Rockman EXE The Movie: Program of Light and Darkness was streamed on YouTube for a limited time to celebrate the release of the Rockman EXE Advanced Collection. Although the movie was removed shortly after, it now appears to have a permanent home on Amazon Japan, marking the first time the film will be available for indefinite streaming.
Digital pre-orders are open on Amazon Japan for 330 yen. Anime Times subscribers can watch it for free, but this perk is only available to Amazon Prime Japan members. An Amazon Japan account is required to purchase and download the movie.
There's no word yet on supported subtitle languages, but based on the previous stream, it's unlikely that English or other languages will be available.
As previously announced, the Mega Man event in Brawlhalla begins today, September 25th. The crossover introduces a Mega Man skin inspired by his design from Mega Man 11, along with various themed power-ups, cosmetics, and a couple of avatars. Rush and Beat also make prominent appearances throughout the event.
The Mega Man skin costs 400 Mammoth Coins, the currency used for unlocking skins, DLC, and more. It, along with its cosmetics, will stay in the Brawlhalla store indefinitely, so there's no risk of it being removed. If you're interested but can't afford it now, you won't have to worry about missing out. If you have zero interest in this, well, the announcement trailer is worth a watch for the animation alone.
Brawlhalla is available on all major home consoles, PC, iOS, and Android.
In July, Udon Entertainment announced they would be localizing the Rockman-san and Rockman-chan manga into English, retitled as Mr. Mega Man and Little Mega Man. The first volume of Mr. Mega Man, spanning 194 pages, is now available to pre-order on Amazon for $13.99, with a release date of December 10th. We also have a first look at the cover art (via Previews World) and the following solicitation:
"When Mega Man grows up, he must face his greatest challenge of all... life as an adult!
The days of battle against Dr. Wily are long since gone. The world no longer needs Mega Man, and a grown-up Rock now leads a peaceful life working as a dentist. The Robots Masters have new careers as well... Cut Man is a barber, Flame Man is a chef, and Top Man is an online influencer. Yet as these dreamlike days pass by, a shadow of turmoil lurks on the horizon..."
Pre-orders for Little Mega Man haven’t surfaced yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if that's coming sooner than later.
Stay tuned for updates!
The developer has uploaded a new trailer showcasing Mega Man with "Rush Boots" and iconic weapons like the Metal Blade and Leaf Shield. He can also use the classic Rush Coil to launch aerial attacks. Extra gameplay footage was captured during a Livestream, which is available above. You can also catch the developers discussing the collaboration and showcasing more content on Twitch.
Mega Man joins Brawlhalla on September 25th, and you can play for free on on PC, consoles, and mobile devices.
Mark Gatha is a legend in these parts. While many know him best as the English voice of G Gundam's Domon Kasshu, we remember him for his portrayal as X. From 2004 to 2006, Gatha brought X to life for English-speaking audiences like never before, delivering a performance that balanced compassion with commanding presence—one that remains beloved even after all these years.
In celebration of G Gundam's 30th anniversary, Mark Gatha sat down for a video interview with Jessica Kalei-Sheffield to discuss his role as Domon and his transition from stage and voice acting to becoming an orthopedic surgeon (Gatha's segment begins at 51:22). Toward the end of the conversation, Gatha briefly reflected on his time as X and shared a story about signing a PSP for one of his patients. It's a short but sweet exchange that’s sure to leave a smile on your face.
Although it's unlikely that Dr. Mark Gatha will return to voice X, it's good to hear from him and know he's doing well.
(UPDATE: Standard Edition up for pre-order on Big Bad Toystore for $44.99)
ThreeZero has revealed new details about their upcoming MDLX X figure, which is now expected to ship in the first quarter of 2025. Standing at 4.7 inches tall (just a smidge taller than the classic series figure), it features 34 points of articulation and a metal and plastic body frame. Magnets in the feet allow for dynamic poses, and the figure comes with two face plates—standard and angry—along with an interchangeable X-Buster for either arm. It also includes a Charge Shot effect piece and multiple hand options.
But, wait! There's more...

This collection brings together seven of Capcom's classic Marvel arcade titles, including the original Marvel vs. Capcom and Marvel vs. Capcom 2—a particular highlight for Mega Man fans. Both games feature familiar faces like the blue bomber, Roll, Tron Bonne, and her army of Servbots.
The collection features an extensive art gallery with several Mega Man-related pieces, including never-before-seen drafts of special moves and combos. For example, the Rush Drill was originally designed as an underground digging move. There's also an early concept for Hyper Mega Man that predates the Mazinger-inspired version we’ve come to know and love.
If you grew up playing these games in the arcade, this collection offers a great shot of nostalgia. And if you’re new to the series, it’s an easy way to dive in, with online play (rollback included), modern display options, and simplified combos for beginners.
Whether you're revisiting old memories or exploring for the first time, it's worth a look.

For over a decade, Great Eastern Entertainment has held the licensing rights for Mega Man 10, continuing to produce posters, keychains, and other knick knacks long after the game’s release. Now, following a brief hiatus, the manufacturer returns with four new figure-plushies.
Standing at 4.5 inches tall, these poseable plushies feature PVC heads and soft bodies, and are set to ship in November. The lineup includes three Proto Man variants (happy, neutral, and battle-ready) and a Mega Man based on the Solar Blaze special weapon. Each is priced at $19.99, according to Big Bad Toy Store's listings.
It’s a bit of a random lineup, but that’s how Great Eastern typically operates with Mega Man. This is likely just the beginning, though. If there's a character you'd love to see next, let us know in the comments!
Thanks for the tip, therealrockman87!
After two and a half years of development, AlyssonDaPaz's 16-bit Mega Man X8 "demake" is finally complete and available to play.
The demake, as previously reported, recreates X8 in the style of the Super Nintendo trilogy, while incorporating modern quality-of-life improvements such as widescreen support and 60 FPS gameplay. All of the original game’s stages are included, with some staying faithful to the original while others—like the Ride Chaser stages—have been completely reimagined. The Chip shop from the original game has been removed; instead, items are now hidden throughout the stages and can be used immediately upon discovery. There's some other updates too, like the addition of the Special Weapon radial from Mega Man 11, which allows you to quickly switch weapons at any time.
It's important to note that X is the only playable character. Since AlyssonDaPaz developed the game solo, the scope was deliberately limited to avoid lengthy delays. Nevertheless, X8 fans should be satisfied with the final result! You can download it right here. Enjoy!
Kotobukiya has revealed a "Premium Charge Shot" version of Rockman.EXE, a irridescent redeco of the original 2022 kit.
This new version, slated as a Koto Shop exclusive in Japan, features shiny, polarized plating andcolors to replicate Rockman.EXE charging his buster. The Sword and slashing effect parts have been updated to resemble the Dream Sword Program Advance from the games, too. You can see what that looks like below!
Capcom completes the trifecta of Mega Man-themed DLC outfits with a new clip from Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster, featuring Frank West dressed as Lan Hikari, complete with the iconic headband. The video’s thumbnail, possibly the highlight of this collaboration, shows Frank-Lan packing heat—a sight that’s sure to be shared for years to come.
The Lan Hikari outfit comes with its own unique BGM, "Hometown," which can be played over the Willamette Parkview Mall speakers. The other Mega Man-themed costumes include MegaMan.EXE and Tron Bonne, each accompanied by their respective BGMs: "Running Through The Cyber World" and "Flutter vs. Gesellschaft."
Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster will be available digitally on September 19th followed by a physical version on November 8th.
Hot on MegaMan.EXE's trail, Capcom has unveiled the second of three Mega Man-themed outfits for Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster: the one and only Tron Bonne. Frank West has never looked more fabulous—an absolute showstopper, truly (and somehow, it even improves his hairline).
The Tron Bonne costume is part of the "Mega Man Pack" DLC, which also includes outfits for MegaMan.EXE and Lan Hikari. The pack features three background music tracks based on each outfit: "Running Through The Cyber World" for MegaMan.EXE, "Hometown" for Lan, and "Flutter vs. Gesellschaft" for Tron.
Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster arrives on digital storefronts on September 19th, with a physical edition coming this November for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S|X.
