25th Anniversary Rockman Arranged Soundtracks Coming Too!
We announced to you the major “Rockcan” music set being brought out by e-Capcom, but that’s not all you can look forward to. Recent online store listings have shed light on a Rockman 25th Anniversary Rock Arrange Soundtrack, and a Rockman 25th Anniversary Techno Arrange Soundtrack. Both are brought to us by TEAM Entertainment, the same label that delivered the previous 20th anniversary rock and techno albums (pictured above).
Each album is a single disc covering Rockman 1~10, and will release August 29th for ¥3,150 (roughly $39 US). It is unknown what tracks will be offered, nor if the same musicians are backing them (electronic artist Shinji Hosoe, who’s behind Beatmania and Mega Man Network Transmission, and guitarist Tohru Iwao of Guilty Gear fame), although the Techno Arrange is said to have multiple artists.
I will make a pledge to you here and now. All Rockman and Mega Man 25th anniversary goods released this year will, in some form, at some point, be prize material offered on this site (and perhaps others). Keep your eyes peeled for more details!
Thanks for the tip, rockman!

When the blue man of the hour reports the tip himself, you know it’s for real.
All new arranged soundtracks mirroring the top-notch 20th anniversary releases? That’s incredible!
NEW ARRANGED SOUNDTRACKS!? HUZZAH
Now that’s cool. But they could show some love for the other series as well.
Very excited for new albums. I’d be fine with Tohru Iwao back as the guitarist, he’s great. in fact he is too great to be accompanied by a drum machine. So I beg that they please get an actual drummer for the rock album this time.
But if they do another guitarist, I’d love to see Tsuyoshi Sekito take on Mega Man. That would be a dream come true.
Didn’t something like this originally come out already? Or did they just re-use the artwork?
Tohru Iwao’s Rock Arrange was fantastic, particularly the title theme medley and MM5′s Dr Wily stages, I WANT MORE OF THEM
So the only thing left is a tribute album with famous VG musicians, do it Capcom!. I’m specially excited for the Rock Album, some really good material in R9 and R10 to be interpreted with guitars.
@last anon: The artwork for the article is from the 20th anniversary albums. I think Heat Man used those because there aren’t any images available yet of the 25th anniversary albums that the article is reporting about.
Techno Wiley looks like master Roshi from DBZ….. XD
speaking of contests, im itching to see the results of the last one!
Good, good…
The 20th anniversary albums were actually really good stuff.
Hope the same fits to these, especially since part 9 and 10 are now included.
@Dyllan
You should definitely give MegaMan 4 a try.
awesome, but i hope they will announce a real game at the 25thh anniversary! even if it’s a little game, they can’t let the serie die like that, because they keep releasing stuff like these soundtrack, the fan wants a game dammit!
@Dyllan and @A-Guest
I think you mean Mega Man 6.
@Phaelin
My bad, you’re right.
4 was with Kalinka and her daddy
5 was all about Protoman
6 was that Mr.X thing with that robot tournament.
*sigh* And part 4 is even one of my favorite parts…
They better include “Endless Struggle” in the techno album.
Can you believe NO ONE has ever done a remix of that song?
