Monster Hunter X has been receiving a whole slew of collaborations. And even though the game has been available in Japan for a few months, there are still new ones being added. Capcom announced another collaboration today involving Mega Man (Rockman in Japan) similar to Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate.

New Mega Man collaboration content for Monster Hunter X is due out on February 25, the same day as Mega Man Legacy Collection in Japan. Here’s the lowdown:

Overview

Event Quest – Rockman: The Yellow Devil
Palico Weapon – Rush Hammer
Palico Armor – Rocknyan Series

Download Bonuses

– Guild Card (Pose): Rockman Appears
– Guild Card (Background): Rockman
– Titles: “Dr.” “Irregular (Maverick)”, “X”, “E-can”

View a trailer for the Mega Man collaboration in Monster Hunter X below.

Square Enix has created three Theatrhythm games. We’ve seen two based on Final Fantasy, and the Japanese-only entry for Dragon Quest. If recent comments from Square Enix’s Ichiro Hazama are anything to go by, the series won’t be stopping there.

Hazama commented about the future of Theatrhythm in this month’s issue of Nintendo Dream. He spoke about wanting to keep the franchise going in his New Year’s greeting, in which he mentioned:

“This is Hazama from Square Enix. Last year at this place, I said ‘we’ll keep continuing Theatrhythm from hereafter too!’. Well then, I wonder how about next year[‘s continuity]. Personally, I still want to continue, and everyday I have been devising various plans. I’m full with a feeling to do something to make it happen, so I’ll be glad if you can wait with anticipation. With that being said, please keep supporting [the series] as usual from hereafter too!”

I’d personally be up for a Nier-only Theatrhythm, but that’s probably unlikely to happen. Something like Theatrhythm Kingdom Hearts might be more realistic!

XSEED prepared new screenshots from Return to PopoloCrois: A Story of Seasons Fairytale for its second localization blog. Find them in the gallery below. And speaking of the blog, you can read it in full right here.

XSEED noted thagt that the plan is to have Popo ready around the same time as the European version. If the publisher is still sticking with its winter window, it should be ready no later than the middle/end of March.

Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam can now be pre-loaded on the North American 3DS eShop. It’s possible to purchase the game and download most of the data ahead of release. Then on launch day, you’ll only need to apply a small update.

Another digital option is to pre-order through Nintendo’s website. A code will be sent to your email address for redemption on the eShop.
