Who knew this was the Blue Bomber’s hottest kind?

Capcom will not be giving followers any new Mega Man video games as of late however the firm has definitely been beneficiant in rereleasing its outdated classics on fashionable platforms. We’ve seen collections for the unique Mega Man collection, Mega Man X, Mega Man Zero and ZX, and, only a week and a few change in the past, Mega Man Battle Community. Whereas I missed out on the Battle Community video games of their prime, it seems rather a lot of individuals had been into the collection. At the very least, that’s what I can surmise given the meteoric gross sales of Mega Man Battle Community Legacy Assortment.

In response to Capcom, the impossible-to-find-at-retail assortment of Recreation Boy Advance video games has already offered a million copies at retail and digitally which could be bought as one full bundle or as two separate volumes.

Gross sales like these are one other feather within the cap of an organization that has been on a roll as of late, with its Monster Hunter and Resident Evil franchise seeing sturdy gross sales with every new launch. With Road Fighter VI proper across the nook, Capcom’s profitable streak is prone to proceed.

Regardless of its success with its different franchises, Capcom hasn’t been desirous to spend money on Mega Man. The final new mainline sport, Mega Man 11, was launched again in 2018. Exterior of Mega Man X DiVE, a free-to-play sport obtainable now for cell and PC, we don’t see a lot of the Blue Bomber anymore exterior of the occasional crossover. Whereas I do know many followers have been clamoring for a brand new Mega Man and Mega Man X title for years, maybe what we needs to be asking for is a brand new Battle Community sport.

The gross sales of the Legacy Assortment present there’s a whole lot of demand for this particular iteration of Mega Man. Whereas the system might need gone stale with the Nintendo DS sequel collection, Mega Man Star Pressure, it’s been about 14 years because the collection went dormant following Rockman.EXE: Function Taking pictures Star‘s dismal gross sales. That’s greater than sufficient time to generate some recent concepts and ideas for a sub-series that clearly has its fanbase. I’m unsure if something will come of this assortment’s success, however making a brand new Battle Community sport definitely must be cheaper than nevertheless a lot cash Capcom is pumping into Pragmata.
