The Mega Man series is synonymous with CAPCOM's action games, with the first title released in 1987 and the latest "Mega Man 11" in 2018.
In addition to the numbered Mega Man titles, CAPCOM has also released a number of popular spin-offs, including the Mega ManX series and the Mega Man Executive series.
Among these spin-offs, the "Mega Man Zero Series" and the "Mega Man ZX Series" are particularly popular, and the "Mega Man Zero & ZX Double Hero Collection" includes all titles from these two series. Double Hero Collection", which includes all titles from these two series, is now on sale!

New features!
Mega Man Zero & ZX Double Hero Collection" includes many new features that were not included in the original version!
High Quality Filters
If you think that the original Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS versions are not as graphic as you would expect, don't worry. The high quality filter is included to give you a smooth visual expression!
Of course, fans of the past can also enjoy the game in its original quality with the filter turned off.
Gallery & Music Player
This mode allows you to enjoy the art and music of the "Mega Man Zero Series" and "Mega Man ZX Series" for each game.
Looking at the artwork while listening to the music in the game will surely bring back memories of playing the game back in the day!
Reproduction of Dual Screen Layers Operation
The original version of "Mega Man ZX Series" was released on the Nintendo DS, so it was displayed on two screens.
If you are wondering how to use the touch panel to control transformations, don't worry, it's essential for comfortable play. You can have it displayed on the screen!
You can choose where and how you want it to appear, so make sure it's a display that's easy to play!
Casual Scenario Mode
The Mega Man series is quite challenging, and many people find it hard to reach the ending.
But I'm interested in the story! For those who are interested in the story, a casual scenario mode is provided.
In short, you don't die even if you fall down a hole. You won't ting ting ting.
And the damage you take from enemies is also reduced, so even if you are not good at action games, you should be able to clear the game much easier!
Assist Save Function
You can call up a save point in the middle of a stage and save your game at any time.
You can save your game immediately when you are playing in between stages, when you have urgent business, or when your mother calls you to tell you that dinner is ready!
Z-Chaser
A new mode called "Z Chaser" is also available to enjoy on two screens!
We know from the video that you will be chasing ghosts, but it is currently unclear if you will finish first, catch up to them and defeat them, or something else.
We're told more details will be released at a later date, so let's wait for additional info!
