Capcom and Nintendo confirmed two new amiibo—Mega Man and Proto Man—will be released alongside Mega Man: Dual Override, the companies announced during the Nintendo Direct broadcast on September 9, 2026.
The figures mark a coordinated physical release timed with the game, which Capcom is bringing to Nintendo Switch as part of the ongoing Mega Man franchise.
Announcement and details
During the Nintendo Direct and accompanying press materials, Nintendo and Capcom revealed production images of the two amiibo.
Nintendo highlighted that the figures will launch alongside Mega Man: Dual Override, but the company has not yet disclosed retail pricing or the specific in-game functionality the amiibo will provide.
Nintendo stated only that the figures will be available at the time of the game's release.
Design notes and developer context
Images released by the publisher show an updated look for Proto Man, with Nintendo and Capcom emphasizing the character's new redesign in promotional materials.
In journalistic terms: the firms drew attention to Proto Man's refreshed appearance as a notable visual change, while presenting Mega Man's figure as a faithful representation of the game's roster.
What amiibo means for players
Amiibo are Nintendo’s NFC-enabled collectible figures that have historically offered platform-specific interactions on Nintendo hardware, including the Nintendo Switch.
Functionality varies by title—past examples have included unlocking cosmetic items, saving data, or providing gameplay bonuses—but Nintendo has not confirmed whether the Dual Override amiibo will provide any of these features for this particular game.
What we know and what remains pending
Verified facts from the announcement: Capcom and Nintendo will release Mega Man and Proto Man amiibo alongside Mega Man: Dual Override; the reveal occurred during the Nintendo Direct broadcast on September 9, 2026; no pricing or functionality details have been released.
Capcom is the developer and publisher behind the Mega Man series, and Nintendo will distribute the physical amiibo compatible with Nintendo Switch consoles.
We will update this story once Nintendo or Capcom provide pricing, pre-order information, retail partners, or specific in-game amiibo functionality.
