A Mega Man Battle Network theme will appear at Capcom Cafe in early 2024. Capcom announced that it will change the theme starting on January 26, 2024, and that it will run until March 25, 2024. It will be available at both of the cafe’s active outlets on the 3rd floor of Grandscape Ikebukuro in Tokyo and the 13th floor of Daimaru Umeda in Osaka.
Capcom has also shared a key visual for the special cafe theme. It hints that the collaboration will focus on the NetNavis MegaMan.EXE, ProtoMan.EXE, Bass.EXE, Colonel.EXE, and SearchMan.EXE. The cafe’s collaboration themes usually come with merchandise based on the featured characters and a food and beverage menu inspired by the franchise. However, Capcom has still yet to reveal the details of this theme. It will make another announcement in the near future.
Capcom Cafe has been regularly holding special collaboration themes based on the company’s game franchises like Monster Hunter, Devil May Cry, and Sengoku Basara. It also occasionally featured other external anime franchises, such as Evangelion and The Quintessential Quintuplets.
The Mega Man Battle Network theme at Capcom Cafe in Ikebukuro, Tokyo, and Umeda, Osaka, will be available from January 26, 2024, to March 25, 2024. Capcom will base this theme on the chip-based battle RPG series that originally appeared on the Game Boy Advance in the early 2000s. The company has since recompiled the series as Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection, which is immediately available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PC.
