Mega News: Riding the Wave of Newly-Preserved and Localized Mega Man Games

While all may be quiet on the Capcom front when it comes to new Mega Man releases, the same can’t be said for the fan community. And the beauty of it is, these are all official games that Capcom has been sitting on for decades! Well, mostly — the new localizations aren’t official, but hey, this may be as close as we’re going to get for some of these. See what’s available now or coming soon to a screen near you!

If you would like to go ahead and purchase Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection (or any other recent Mega Man game), I have a Nexus store for that where you can buy the Steam version, with part of the proceeds directly supporting myself! You may also buy physically using my Amazon affiliate link to snag yourself the game for Nintendo Switch or PlayStation 4! Still no word on an Xbox version at all (;-;).
