How comparable are D-Arts to Figmas?

Cool for the Rock fans.

Was hoping the next one would be Ultimate X. He is all I really care about anymore, well unless they some how are extra generous and release a Command Mission style X, then I would buy like three of the bastards.

So is there any hope they are going to announce a "Real" Mega Man game for this anniversary? Any TGS rumors? Anything?

Zero rumors, it was hinted many times in the Capcom-Unity stream that maybe they will have some info to share when the time it's right, whatever that means. Personally the only thing I expect for TGS is more screens or some video of Rockman Xover but you never know with Capcom Japan, maybe they will surprise us!.

Mega Man Comic Issue #17 Preview.

lol Wily ponytail.


New Rockman Xover info:

First and foremost is the revelation of the protagonist’s name: OVER-1 (over one). Have to admit, Light and Cossack have really slipped in naming their creations these days. Then again, OVER-1 is supposed to be a mass production model, so perhaps it has little use as a personal name.

Other than that, it appears players will use “Battle Chips” to customize their own OVER-1s. Despite the name, it’s thought that these Battle Chips don’t have any connection to the Battle Network series (and instead pertain to the usage of “Battle Memory” mentioned on the official site’s dossier).

There is a scan out there, I'm getting more interested in it.

More Rockman Xover news.


Following up from our Famitsu scoop yesterday, now we have more details and some nice visuals from 4gamer.net. The bulk of the information concerns the background of the newly named character, OVER-1.

As you know, OVER-1 is a robot created in a collaboration between Dr. Light and Dr. Cossack, in order to save the Crossover World that has become threatened by Dr. Wily, Sigma, and other forces of evil now cooperating together. Originally, OVER-1 was a mere all-purpose Reploid with no battle capabilities to speak of. However, OVER- has the special ability to equip “Battle Memory,” which can change his abilities and unleash unfathomable potential.

Uhh… wait… Dr. Light and Dr. Cossack made a Reploid?… Like, is this before Dr. Light made X? Was Dr. Cossack ever involved in Reploid research? I mean, my head is kind of…

Anyway, the various heroes of the Rockman universe have become trapped in a gulf of space-time within this strange Crossover World, and now only OVER-1 can save them AND the future! (Though whose future, we’re not too certain.) Use Battle Memory to customize your own OVER-1, grab your friends, and save Crossover World from certain doom!

Besides that, the only other info we have is confirmation that Rockman Xover will be appearing at Tokyo Game Show, coming up later this month. I imagine the lines will be incredible.

I like the design of Over-1 but the furry is confusing, what's the purpose of it?.

Why is there a skip option on that battle? Oh God don't let this be like Final Fantasy where you can skip the gameplay...anytime I see that in a game the game's action usually feels irrelevant even when I play it since it was designed to be skippable.

well seeing no one's stepping up to answer, you gotta realize they're reaaaally different games. To this day people will say that Legends (64) isn't a Megaman game.

And 8 isn't one of the best ones of the classic series. I'd probably put it on the lower end of the spectrum with it maybe being better than 5, but it's not necesarily a bad game.

You're getting it of PSN? I'd recommend getting 2, 3 or X as the best starting points.

This is really what I was curious about.

I was thinking of getting the Saturn version. And okay. I'll keep that in mind. Thank you. I'm also well aware how different Legends is lol.

So did you guys hear that Rockman Online is effectively cancelled? The entire team has disbanded, and one of the concept artists has been sharing art on his personal page, which he wouldn't be allowed to do if the project was still alive.

Here's what he shared:





I find it more than a little coincidental that Rockman Online and Rockman Xover are both side-scrolling RPGs that cross over multiple sub-series and allow players to customize their own hero and interact with one another. Yet it's Xover that remains alive and Online that bites the big one. What a world.

Wow, what condescending drivel. What kind of PR person SAYS something like this? "Please try not to jump the gun and think we might actually do something exciting for a change and that we are going to stop being crappy all of a sudden!" Isn't this more like anti-PR or something?

To me that means: there will be something neat, but it's not a game.
