What’s in the collection?
The collection is a complete tribute to the Nintendo DS action RPG series. It includes all three original games and their sequels. The games have been optimized for modern platforms.
Fans will find new features. There is a high-resolution filter to improve the image. There is also an art gallery and a music player.
Capcom wants to preserve the history of games. The series is the spiritual successor to Mega Man Battle Network. It arrived in the West between 2007 and 2009.
Complete list of included games

- Mega Man Star Force 2: Zerker × Ninja and Zerker × Saurian (2007/2008)
- Mega Man Star Force 3: Black Ace and Red Joker (2008/2009)
Anime gets spotlight on YouTube
The company is also encouraging nostalgia for the anime. The first episode dubbed in English is free on YouTube.
The animated series had 55 episodes. It aired on Cartoon Network and Toonami Jetstream in 2007. In Japan, the premiere was in October 2006.
This marketing strategy is smart. It attracts both old fans and a new audience. The series is a gateway to the universe of Geo Stelar and Omega-Xis.
The legacy of Mega Man in Brazil
In Brazil, the Mega Man series has always had a strong fan base. Many players grew up with the adventures of the Blue Bomber on the NES and Super Nintendo.
The arrival of the Legacy Collections makes access easier. Before, the original DS games were rare and expensive. Now, an entire generation can relive or discover these classics.
The success of the Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection, released in April 2023, paved the way. It proved there is demand for these re-releases. Capcom is listening to its fans.
Why is this news important now?
In December 2025, announcements for the first half of the following year are crucial. They dictate the pace of releases and heat up the market.
For Brazilian fans, knowing the date allows for planning. The first quarter of 2026 looks promising. The promise of having all the games in one place is a big attraction.
The retro gaming scene is on the rise. Preserving and making classic titles accessible is a strong trend. Capcom is at the forefront of this movement.
Technical details and expectations
Capcom has not disclosed the price in Brazilian Real (BRL). But, following the pattern of the previous collection, it should cost between R$ 200 and R$ 300.
There is no confirmation about Portuguese dubbing. The most likely scenario is that the games will keep the text in English. The original Japanese and English dubs should be present.
The pre-order trailer is already live. It shows gameplay of the remastered versions. The box art has also been revealed, following the style of the other Legacy Collections.
What to expect from the future?
The release of this collection closes an important cycle for Capcom. The company is systematically revisiting its classic franchises.
The success of sales may dictate the next steps. Series like Mega Man X or Mega Man Zero may get their own collections in the future.
For fans, it’s a victory. Seeing a beloved Nintendo DS series gain new momentum in 2026 is exciting. The wait until March will be long, but the reward promises to be worth it.
The ball is now in Capcom’s court. The quality of the port and the extra features will be decisive. But the foundation, formed by excellent games, is already more than guaranteed.
