Capcom has been bringing out a bunch of different collections for Mega Man over the past several years, but the Mega Man Legends sub-series hasn’t been given the same treatment. Could that change one day?
Capcom’s Shingo Izumi commented on the possibility in an interview with RPG Site. The bad news is that according to Izumi, nothing is currently planned. However, a Mega Man Legends collection could be brought up “when we consider new collection projects in the future”.
Izumi’s full words:

Nintendo’s new approach to amiibo: expensive premium figurines
Posted on 2 months ago by Ethan in Features, General Nintendo, Switch 2 | 0 comments
On the surface, things haven’t been particularly easy for amiibo as of late. Last year, the line did celebrate its 10th anniversary, which is a pretty big milestone for toys-to-life: they’re usually long discontinued by the time by that point. Still, that doesn’t necessarily mean amiibo are doing better than ever – it’s kind of the opposite, in fact. When they first launched in late 2014, each amiibo figure cost $12.99 each. They were marketed as affordable statues and add-ons to games – these bonuses were fairly inconsequential for the most part (but Super Smash Bros. amiibo training is still surprisingly deep), and if you didn’t want to spend the money on each figure you didn’t have to.
Recently, Nintendo upped the general price of new amiibo figures to $24.99 – $34.99 each. Of course, these are much more detailed than the original $12.99 amiibo that released in 2014, but it’s a steep bump nonetheless. Furthermore, the prices of all older amiibo were increased to $19.99 each. That means characters who were originally released for $12.99 now cost $19.99 without any significant increase in quality. Even if there were an increase in quality, this price bump puts amiibo out of range for most collectors. And yet, despite these price troubles, Nintendo announced a boatload of amiibo in the September 2025 Nintendo Direct. In my opinion, this marks kind of a doubling down of sorts – rather than going the amiibo card route like we previously suggested, Nintendo is doubling down on making amiibo into figurines of the highest possible quality.

It’s officially Pokemon Day 2026, and with the Pokemon Presents presentation happening in a few hours, we’ve got the live stream for you. The fun starts at 6 AM PT / 9 AM ET / 2 PM in the UK / 3 PM in Europe.
It was already announced that Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen are returning on Nintendo Switch today in celebration of Pokemon’s 30th anniversary. However, this should be just the tip of the iceberg for news. We’ll likely get another update on Pokemon Champions, for one thing. And while no one can say for sure, some fans believe that Pokemon Gen 10 will be revealed – that’d certainly be a good way to end the presentation.
Below is where you can watch the Pokemon Day 2026 Pokemon Presents live stream:
