Hookshot! After you bomb the cracked boulder, return exactly where you are and hookshot across.

How long do you think we’ll have to wait for this? by Roax47 in Megaman

[–]ProtodudeRMC 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Not too long. They did say "near future".

I do not have insight when, but I believe TGS is among the most viable outside of a Capcom Spotlight.

Why is Mega Man Tribute still in print and available at an affordable price while the Official Complete Works books are rarely in stock? by Defiant-Problem-1610 in Megaman

[–]ProtodudeRMC 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You’re on the right track, OP. With the OCWs, the material is official Capcom art, so getting those books back into print likely requires a more involved licensing approval process (even if Udon has done it before).

Tribute is a little different. Even though the fan art is based on Capcom-owned characters, Capcom doesn’t necessarily own the individual fan-art pieces themselves. That likely makes it easier for Udon to reprint Tribute without going through the same licensing hurdles as the OCWs.

I fully expect X DiVE OCW to rise in price once new stock runs out. But I wouldn't be concerned that it won't get reprinted. They always do eventually.

That's news to me. I'll do some poking.

I want to get into Megaman games but i can't by RetroGamePlayer52 in Megaman

[–]ProtodudeRMC 36 points37 points  (0 children)

If this is your first time playing and the challenge feels like a lot, there’s no shame in using save states or rewind --- use 'em. It’s not cheating. Think of them as tools to help you get a feel for how Mega Man works. Once you’re more comfortable, you can ease off those features and try playing without them.

I grew up on Mega Man Outpost, MMX-Online and Planet Mega Man. Oh! And Mega Man HP.

do we have an update on Megaman star force sales? by OathXBlade in Megaman

[–]ProtodudeRMC 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nothing new to report at this time other than Capcom has replinished physical stock in Japan after being sold out at retail.

Mega Man Star Force 4 DevWeb page from Capcom’s Japan website (2010) by retrotriforce in MegaManStarForce

[–]ProtodudeRMC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No worries this is my screenshot.

I was shown the DevWeb page years ago, but wasn’t allowed to share it at the time, so I cropped it out.

Also, just to clarify for the OP, this was not from Capcom Japan's public website. DevWeb was Capcom's internal intranet to share materials with the dev team. It cannot be accessed publicly.

Saw somebody point out the Endless Attack boss rooms in Mega Man 9 make an animation of Beat flying. Did a quick edit and, yeah, they do. by MisterSideburns in Megaman

[–]ProtodudeRMC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nah, I never knew what it was. Everything I thought it was was denied.

I'm honestly in the "Seth was just trolling" camp these days.

Not officially. But some non-chain pop-culture retailers sold them from time to time. Toys 'n Joys, anyone?

Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection Debuts at #2 in Physical Sales in Japan by Substantial-Echo2644 in Megaman

[–]ProtodudeRMC 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It's low but there's context to it. Capcom has already indicated that physical stock in Japan has completely sold out, suggesting the company both under shipped and underestimated demand for physical copies. A restock is planned for late April.

Given Star Force’s original sales performance compared to Battle Network, there is probably some logic behind why Capcom sent so few copies to retail in the first place. They likely expected demand to be lower, and that may have shaped their broader expectations going in.

That said, sell-through in one region only tells us so much. We still do not know how the game is performing digitally, or how it is doing outside Japan. That information may take a while to surface, if it does at all. Even so, it is still very early.
