I think we've waited long enough by now. There's been screens flying around, Capcom has a page for it up already, and still nobody here's said a thing.

Time to fix that.

It all started with this link, which had, at the time, done not much more than confirm the game's existance. Since that's about it, I can't comment much on that. I will mention that it now has e-Reader+ abilities, however.

Then things REALLY kicked off with this. It revealed the first shots, and also Zero's new weapon, the Recoil Rod; this bending beam of light could be used to cut through objects and sheilds.

This one from Famitsu first mentioned the "Chip Custom" system, which lets you customize Zero's abilities (as would be assumed). It also mentions that the Recoil Rod breaks through obstacles when charged. Just FYI.

Then came this one. It doesn't have much, just some visuals for you to get all hyped up on... and small ones, at that.

This one talks more about the Chip Custom system, apparently a new form of that Form Changing thing. (Sadly, I have no idea what I'm talking about with that last sentence... I haven't gotten that far into the Zero series, truth-be-told.) Also, it appears that the Recoil Rod will officially be replacing the Chain Rod... and a couple of screens, including one of what appears to be the Chip Custom menu.

Our next link comes from, of all places, Sega. (What's Sega doing with a Capcom game for sale on their site? The mind boggles...) It reveals yet more information; first of all, the Cyber Elf system is far from gone, and includes two new forms as well. There's the Satellite-Types, which appear to be incredibly reusable, and then there's the Fusion-Types, of which there are only two and of which you can only use one. On the plus side, the Fusion Elves make Zero REALLY powerful, if I'm reading this right. Also notable from the page is the header; translated, it reads "A voice that calls to Zero from the darkness of history! The time of judgement draws near the hero!" First plot insight, that is.

This link also adds an interesting note... Apparently, Zero 3 will link up to the upcoming Mega Man Battle Network 4 for some goodies. In Zero 3, the enemies you face will change, most likely for Battle Network 4 enemies. As for MMBN4, it will give MegaMan.EXE access to some of Zero's weapons or something to that effect; imagine a ZeroSword BattleChip, and you're on the right track. (Or even better, a Zero Soul...)

Which returns us to the top link. This also has "A voice that calls to Zero from the darkness of history! The time of judgement draws near the hero!" in it, but also reveals some more: "The new enemy Dr. Bairu (Dr. Weil) appears! The closing of history gets going! 'Revival,' 'Awakening,' and... 'Fusion.'"

As if that weren't interesting enough, now Zero can go into cyberspace. In this whacked place, Cyber Elves can perform specific extra tasks, and only here can they do so. Likewise, this is where the link-up with Battle Network 4 takes place, and to be honest, what better place to do it than in the same kind of world that .EXE resides in himself? 😛

Of course, there's also the promotional art on there. Look for yourself at it... (All I have to say is this: Dr. Weil was seperated from Dr. Doppler at birth. That is all.)

Well... that's up to the present day. Hope this informs anyone of anything.
