Card-en-Ciel: Demo Impressions

As some of you may know, Card-en-Ciel is an upcoming game from Inti Creates, the developers of the Mega Man Zero and Mega Man ZX series—and yes, even Mega Man Battle Chip Challenge. Card-en-Ciel will release October 24, 2024 for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam. A public demo will be available on September 4 on Steam and September 5 on Nintendo Switch.

Card-en-Ciel caught our attention for its Mega Man Battle Network-like appearance and similarly-inspired gameplay. Inti Creates gave us an early hands-on look at an extended demo on Steam. It goes deeper into the game mechanics than the in-person booth demos had in the past. So, let’s get right into the impressions.

The Rockman EXE Zone Turns 7!

On August 12, 2006, The Rockman EXE Zone was officially launched. Now in 2013, we acknowledge the site’s 7th Anniversary. A lot has changed even in the past year. As you may remember, our new home page was launched last year on this day. We’ve also gotten more coverage recently with higher-profile projects like the EXE6 Boktai translation and TheSpeedGamers support and also for getting out there with social media like Twitter. And of course, we can’t forget the EXE WS translation. We couldn’t have done this and more without all your support.  Sure on the game side of things, it’s been a little slow with the lack of games and all. But fortunately since everyone’s favorite Rockman Xover social game keeps pushing out new content, you can see our Gallery has grown with new rare art and special promotional images. Our team effort is dedicated to preserving the vast content of the game on a daily basis.

To commemorate this date, the TREZ Forums will now have a new fluid-width theme that’s been in testing for a little while. Please report any bugs or issues to staff so they may get fixed. This option should make for a more comfortable reading experience for many users as it adapts to the small snap-width and widescreen width well.

We did it, everyone! 7 years and going on 8.

MegaMan EXE Look-Alike Turns Up In Mobile Game

I was sent this video by a TREZ reader earlier. It is a trailer for a mobile game being released.

The actual bulk of video isn’t important. Skip to the end of the video where the title appears. You’ll notice that this “Flying Jet Robot” character looks very similar to MegaMan EXE. This isn’t the first time a mobile game has blatantly taken an existing character being passed off as original, but I think this is the first directly involving the Battle Network series.
Thanks to a regular TREZ reader for sending this in.

We’re back

After a brief service interruption, TREZ’s home page is now back up and functioning. Thanks to long-time member Mgamerz, we now have a new host for the site. As the Legacy project has been cancelled recently, the references to it have been removed. You’ll also notice the features panel below now features the Rockman EXE WS Translation project, as it is now a major piece of content for the site.

Please report any issues and we’ll have them fixed as soon as possible.

Purist and Anime Translation Patches for EXE WS Available!

For those interested, TREZ has now released purist and anime-dubbed versions of the EXE WS translation patch. The purist version uses the original Japanese names, such as Netto and Rockman. The NT Warrior version uses the Navi names from the anime, such as TorchMan instead of FireMan. The rest of the translation is fully in English though. Note however that these versions have not been thoroughly beta tested.

They can be download from the link below:
