Yet More Rockman Xover Details – Getting to Know OVER-1
Following up from our Famitsu scoop yesterday, now we have more details and some nice visuals from 4gamer.net. The bulk of the information concerns the background of the newly named character, OVER-1.
As you know, OVER-1 is a robot created in a collaboration between Dr. Light and Dr. Cossack, in order to save the Crossover World that has become threatened by Dr. Wily, Sigma, and other forces of evil now cooperating together. Originally, OVER-1 was a mere all-purpose Reploid with no battle capabilities to speak of. However, OVER- has the special ability to equip “Battle Memory,” which can change his abilities and unleash unfathomable potential.
Uhh… wait… Dr. Light and Dr. Cossack made a Reploid?… Like, is this before Dr. Light made X? Was Dr. Cossack ever involved in Reploid research? I mean, my head is kind of…
Anyway, the various heroes of the Rockman universe have become trapped in a gulf of space-time within this strange Crossover World, and now only OVER-1 can save them AND the future! (Though whose future, we’re not too certain.) Use Battle Memory to customize your own OVER-1, grab your friends, and save Crossover World from certain doom!
Besides that, the only other info we have is confirmation that Rockman Xover will be appearing at Tokyo Game Show, coming up later this month. I imagine the lines will be incredible.

@Megumi Man: Why not on the I Phone? The produce costs are low, the risk that a app don’t get in the money it costs is very low and they have a big base of people they can reach. So it seems realistic.
@Murkman: It is an theory, for an theory i don’t need any evidence. Why would a reset, what seems possible, PR Suicide? It’s a fresh start for a series, nothing more. I don’t see any PR suicide there, remember for Capcom is the Blue Bomber not long profitable so why not? There is no risk anymore, Capcom has nothing to lose.
@Clown Prince of Crime: Yeah, with Inafune gone everything is possible. Even the timeline reset.
Didn’t Svennson say they weren’t going to reboot any of the mega man series?
