Capcom has just announced the release date and pricing for Mega Man X DiVE Offline, the upcoming standalone version of Mega Man X DiVE which was announced a little while ago. The game will release for Steam, Android and iOS starting September 1st, 2023, and can now be pre-purchased on Steam for $29.99 / €29.99 / £24.99 / ¥3990.

Additionally, Capcom has announced the minimum system requirements for the game on each platform. Curiously, it is noted that an internet connection is required to play Mega Man X DiVE “Offline”. It’s not clear at this time whether this is only required for initial install/activation, or whether you need a constant connection.

Nintendo of Japan has recently posted the most recent rankings for the most downloaded games on the Nintendo Switch. For the first half of 2023, both volumes of Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection can be seen placing in the top 10! Volume 2 places in 5th spot, and Volume 1 places in 7th spot.

This is another highlight for the collection’s success, as previously it was reported the volumes together have sold over 1 million units worldwide.

Our first big update for the Mega Man Battle Network Legacy is here! The game has been updated for Steam, Switch (1.0.3 update), and PS4 (1.03 update). These include some highly requested features such as MegaMan voice options, a black border, and online Custom Screen time increased to 30 seconds. This update also has important bug fixes such as BN4 ShadeMan’s behavior and BN6’s Virus Battler English rewards.

The complete list of changes and bug fixes can be found in the jump.

UPDATE: An incorrect English patch note in Battle Network 6 has been updated to match the Japanese patch note.

Next month, Mega Man Battle Network will be making its debut in Capcom’s free-to-play cross-series card game TEPPEN! Capcom states that the addition is due to popular demand, so give yourselves a pat on the back, everyone.

First revealed in TEPPEN Headline #18, the next event and card pack will be known as 30_MINUTES.EXE, and will be added to the game on July 3, 2023 – just in time for the game’s 4th anniversary.

30_MINUTES.EXE is set in Den City, a floating space colony, whose inhabitants live peacefully in a Cyberworld of their own making. However, this peace is disturbed when M. Bison and his army of invaders threaten to destroy the city in 30 minutes. With time running short, RiCO, one of the city’s operators, calls in the help of an unlikely hero: Ryu. He will be joined by various operators and NetNavis from the MMBN series, fighting together to prevent the destruction of the Cyberworld.

Those who missed out on pre-ordering the Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection will now have the chance to get the “Custom PET Pack” DLC! Capcom has announced via Rockman-Unity that the pack will be available as paid DLC starting on June 27th. It is also stated that the DLC will be 200 yen for each volume’s pack. We will update this with other region prices when they are available.

UPDATE: The DLC is now available on Switch, PS4, and Steam. It will cost $1.99 in the US, or around that amount for other regions.

The “Custom PET Pack” DLC provides a new skin for the 3D MegaMan on the menu, as well as 2 new remixed tracks for the music player. The content will differ depending on the volume. The skins have an exclusive voice line for the 3D MegaMan, and the music track can be set as the background music for the Collection menu.

After the recent announced shutdown of Mega Man X DiVE’s gacha version, it seemed like the Deep Log might be lost forever… but never fear! Just announced at Capcom Showcase, Mega Man X DiVE Offline will be launching on Steam, iOS and Android before the end of 2023.

Mega Man X DiVE Offline will have (almost) all of the content from the original version, featuring more than 900 stages and over 100 playable characters – not just from Mega Man X, but from the other Mega Man subseries as well, including Battle Network and Star Force.

The offline version of the game does omit some features from the original. Crossovers with other games (such as Street Fighter and Monster Hunter) will not be included, and none of the multiplayer modes will make the cut either. Additionally, you will not be able to transfer any data from the original game.

Now this is some good news to hear, and only after 2 weeks of going on sale… The official Mega Man Twitter account has reported that Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 combined sales have surpassed 1 million units worldwide.

This is a grand feat that few Mega Man titles have the privilege of. Previously, for the Battle Network series, the only other title to have sold 1 million worldwide is both versions of Mega Man Battle Network 4. In Japan, Rockman-Unity had also previously addressed that the physical MMBNLC game has sold out in stores and is working to restock it in late April.
