GBA's most faithful guardian returns like lightning.

Capcom launched the all-Chinese "Locke people EXE Collection" on April 14. Half a month later, the sales volume of the collection exceeded 1 million, setting a record for the fastest sales in the history of "Locke people" and bringing the long-silent brand back to the eyes of the broad masses of players.

The orthodox "Locke" starts with the meta-ancestor series born in FC, and the subsequent "Locke X / Zero / Dash" series have evolved on more powerful mainframes. "Locke EXE" is another timeline different from the orthodox "Locke", a networked parallel world.

Why can a set of unreengraved GBA cold rice be so successful today? On the one hand, the combat system of the original work on GBA is unparalleled, and it is still unique today; on the other hand, Capcom shows full sincerity when stir-frying cold rice, and a large amount of additional content gives the collection ample playability and collection value. Not every bowl of fried rice is gold fried rice, and the hot sale of this collection is also a success that is difficult to replicate.

Twenty years ago, the "Locke EXE" series was the most loyal guardian of GBA. "Locke EXE" escorted GBA from launch to finish, until the 2D handset was replaced by a 3D successor. In the era when Capcom once shelved the "Locke EXE", players around the world gave full play to their hands-on ability and continued the life of the series. Today, when the collection is selling well, players can finally cheer and their blue heroes come back like lightning.

There were only three games originally planned for the "EXE of the Rocks" series, and then Capcom asked the team to continue to develop sequels. "Locke EXE 4: red Sun and Blue Moon" is the first time in Japan in the form of a two-version debut, Japanese sales of 930000, the first batch of shipments at the end of 2003 is low, the game once entered a state of out of stock, otherwise it is expected to become GBA in Japan in addition to "Pokemon" the only million games. "Rockman EXE 4" has also reached 1.35 million sales worldwide, a huge commercial victory, but the game's reputation has been polarized. The core players who are keen on fast-break Boss and war praise this work, but casual players who only aim at customs clearance do not like it.

As the starting point of the new trilogy, "Locke EXE 4" has a new map screen, with a smaller character scale, a larger player's field of vision, and pixel matrices with animated black ticks. Series has always used 8MB capacity GBA cassette, if you switch to a more expensive 16MB cassette, Capcom will increase the price of the game, in order to take care of small players' wallets, the development team decided to stick to the 8MB cassette, the new map screen is to save capacity.

Showa Eguchi, a map screenwriter who saves cassette capacity, believes that the core fun of the series is to "make friends through battle", both in games and in reality. The process of "Locke EXE 4" is mainly a tournament in the form of a single play, in which the protagonist can have "soul resonance" with his opponent, and then gain the opponent's special ability by consuming a chip in the battle. This system is more flexible than the previous form transformation, and the soul in the double version is different.

The biggest defect of this work lies in the multi-weekly setting, except for the first teaching soul, the acquisition order of other souls is random, and players need three weeks to go through customs in order to collect all the souls of a version. The powerful chip that made its debut at the end of the week will take many weeks to collect in this work, but in the end, Boss Dior is still a bloody bull, allowing many players to fight hard. The purpose of the week process is very short, multi-week in addition to collecting the soul of the opponent's unit drama, the rest of the plot is basically the same, giving players a feeling of forcibly lengthening the game time.

The combat system of the alien Dio "Rockman EXE 4" has made great progress. Counterattacks can create full synchronization, doubling the attack power of the player's next chip, and skilled players can do amazing damage through continuous counterattacks. For the first time in this battle, the dark transfer insertion system is added. When your opponent uses the dark transfer chip (the picture darkens, time pauses), you can insert another dark transfer chip of your own, creating a late attack situation. This setting greatly strengthens the research value of the war.

The two versions of the soul have their own advantages and disadvantages, forming a relative balance. In terms of roles, the scouts of "Red Sun" and the water men of "Blue Moon" are welcomed. Their shapes are quite personalized and their soul abilities are also very practical. The development team had planned to join the souls of Dior and Freddy, two powerful Boss, and gave up because of capacity constraints.

The scout and the water man Inaga Keiji are friends with Hideo Kojima. When Kojima conceived a new book "our Sun" for GBA, he exchanged views with the rice boat. In response, "EXE 4 of the Rocks" includes a plot linked to "our Sun," in which the Locke and Sun teenager Django beat the bat-like vampire dark man.

Dark people in the plot to give Locke dark chip, in addition to fighting with the dark people of the fixed plot, players use a dark chip, Locke people's HP limit will be permanently reduced by 1 point. If the earth is completely engulfed by the dark forces in the future, Theo will destroy the earth. The plot before the series can be interpreted as a computer program in nature, but the "dark forces" in this series makes players feel too metaphysic. will human negative emotions affect computer programs?

Showa Eguchi, the screenwriter of Locke and Qiang GE, said that the plot of this film is a metaphor for the real network, the network is just a tool, how to use the network depends on you, everyone has negative emotions in your heart, and it depends on you whether you can overcome it. In Eguchi's view, the Internet is developing rapidly at the technical level, but human progress at the psychological level can not keep up with the Internet, resulting in the Internet often multiplying negative emotions.

Dior is just a judge, and it's up to the player to decide whether to use the dark chip or not. In the match between Japan and Japan, some people did not use dark chips at all, and some people reduced the upper limit of Locke's HP to the lowest point because of their frequent use of dark chips. This strong contrast is called "good versus evil" by Eguchi.

Before, Eguchi took GBA with him to fight against players, but in the era of "Rockman EXE 4", there were players who won 100 games in a row and were far stronger than Eguchi. In order to maintain the invincible setting of "Eguchi celebrities", from this work, Capcom forbids Eguchi to fight with GBA at will, and the helpless Jiangkou can only hang war-free cards.

This work introduces a large number of physical periphery, GBA general-purpose e-Reader card reader can read the modified card for Locke people. The modified card changes the balance of the battle, and the most exaggerated card is "full defense", which allows the Locke to enter a state of almost invincibility, and only defensive attacks and poison wounds can penetrate the defense. During the GBA period, the "Locke EXE 4" Japanese game completely banned the modified card, and now the "Locke EXE Collection" can use modified cards in addition to "full defense" in the game.

"Locke EXE 4" also launched a dedicated card reader "Battle Chip Gate". Through this peripheral, players can choose a navigator other than the Locke, but the navigator's position is controlled by a computer and cannot be directly manipulated by the player, which restores the settings in comics and animation.

After the release of Battle Chip Gate "EXE 4 of the Rocks", the team did not directly develop an orthodox sequel, but chose the rumor "EXE 4 of the Rocks: real Action". Developed around the Battle Chip Gate peripherals, players are still unable to directly manipulate navigators, and the number of optional navigators has increased to 21, including Boss characters such as Frody.

This cassette contains a clock function, players can turn the GBA into a PDA, set a calendar and alarm clock to remind the navigator to become their own life assistant. Although the plot of the film is simple, the screenwriter Zhengwa Eguchi is burdened with a huge workload-just a simple "good morning" requires 21 greetings. Different navigators also have different soundtracks, including a remix of FC's classic melodies.

Frody's lines are full of human ridicule. Beicun Ling, the father of the Locke people, once said that the real feature of the series is not the Locke people, but the huge number of Boss, almost every Boss has the potential to become a protagonist, and "Locke EXE 4.5" has realized this wish. This work is only available in Japan and is aimed at core players, with sales of only 70,000. Director Masahiro Yasumi said that this work is only an experiment, and he hopes that future players can customize the navigator and compete with other players on the Internet, which is the ultimate game experience.

The Internet legion "Locke EXE 4.5" went on sale in Japan in August 2004, leaving less than half a year for the development of "Locke EXE 5". Unexpectedly, in such a tight time, "EXE 5 of Locke" unexpectedly handed over an answer that was better than the previous one.

The process of this work is much more substantial than the previous one, and players only need to go through customs once to gather the soul resonance of this version. Many players do not like the fragmented plot of the unit drama, so "EXE 5 of the Rocks" adopts the form of team warfare, and the size of the team continues to expand as the process advances. This is the largest number of Chinese characters in the series, and the relationship between teammates has become a highlight of the plot.

"Rockman EXE 5" is also available in two editions. As for the captains of each version, the experienced Bruce is naturally the captain's first choice. In order to compete with this popular character, Carnier, who originated from "Locke X 4", also became the captain, which moved the veteran players. The roles of the two teams are new and old, some of the old villains have changed their ways, and some of the old characters have changed into new clothes. Overall, the regular blues team looks like a regular army, while the personality-filled Carnier team looks like a mercenary regiment.

A regular army-style blues team

Mercenary style Carnier team in the previous work, many clean players ignored the existence of the dark chip, director Yasumi Zhengbo hopes to add a dark force that the good Rocks can also use, a special skill to walk on the edge of good and evil, this is "chaotic resonance". The Shanrocks release dark forces through the power of chaotic resonance. This technique does not reduce the upper limit of HP, but when Xu Li fails, Dark Locke souls will enter the stage as enemies.

The Japanese version of "EXE 5: blues team" was first released on December 9, 2004, while "Garnier team" was released on February 24, 2005. If players have booked tickets for the theatrical version of the animation "EXE: the Legacy of Light and Dark", they can receive the Carnier team's cassette and Frody's modified card in advance on February 4, 2005. This modified card can transform the Locke into Frody form, and there is no round limit. The golden Frody form of the Bruce team focuses on brute strength, while the silver Frody form of the Garnier team focuses on mobility.

Gold and silver are both very powerful forms of Frody the biggest controversy in this book is the team battle of the liberation mission, in which players operate a team step by step, fight against the enemy, and slowly clean up large areas of the dark network. Players who only want to operate Locke people naturally hate liberation quests, while players who like their teammates love this game. Unlike the passive combat of Locke EXE 4.5, players can directly manipulate their teammates during liberation quests. If you want to operate your teammates outside the liberation mission, you need a special card reader called "Progress Chip Gate".

Kenji Inamoto and Hideo Kojima, who took turns operating the liberation mission of multiple teammates, originally planned to let "our Sun" and "EXE 4 of the Rocks" race online, but the two games were dropped because of the distance between the two games' release days. "continue our Sun" and "Locke EXE 5" release date is relatively close, and finally realized this wish. Locke and Django can fight the dark people at the same time, and the fast one wins. The two games are played differently, but after adjustment, the race is still fair.

Japanese sales of the Locke EXE 5, a battle between Django and the Dark in continuing our Sun, fell to 600000 from 930000 in Japan, and global sales fell from 1.35 million to 800000. Before the launch of the game, Nintendo had already launched a new generation of handset NDS, which affected the sales of new GBA works to some extent. Despite the decline in sales, both the player and the development team rated this work higher than the previous one.

After that, the core creators of the series, such as Masahiro Yasumi and Masahe Eguchi, hope to concentrate on the development of "EXE 6 of the Locke people", and they will hand over more of the series to other teams for development. "EXE of Locke: the Internet Phantom" launched in serialized form on i-mode mobile service in Japan in the winter of 2004. The play of this mobile game is similar to the GBA version, a large number of materials are used from GBA, but also added original Boss such as Hatman. The flow of the game revolves around the web server, and although the screenwriter is not Eguchi, the story is not inferior to the GBA version.

The 2005 NDS game "Rockman EXE 5: twin Captain" in the Network Phantom is the integration of two GBA games. This film provides two archived locations, and the plot does not merge the two teams into one, but players can choose another version of their teammates in the liberation mission. In addition to the liberation mission, players can also directly manipulate their teammates.

NDS is not compatible with all kinds of GBA card reader peripherals, so this one is more suitable for players who can't get the peripherals. NDS has its own GBA slot, insert "continue our Sun" (European and American version) or "New our Sun" (Japanese version) to get the sun shape, insert the GBA version of "Locke EXE 5" to get the Frody form, and insert other cassettes in the series to get the mixed version of battle music.

The Sun form Locke NDS soundtrack in the Twin Captain has been remixed and the sound quality is much better than that of the GBA version. The battle picture of this work is the same as that of GBA, but a 3D Locke state picture is added to the lower screen. Although "Twin Captain" is only a cold work, the sincere new content still won the praise of the players.

"online Phantom", "Twin Captain" and "Locke EXE 6" were developed by three different teams, this arrangement allows "Locke EXE 6" to return to the normal one-year development cycle, more time to ensure the quality of the game.

The Beast EXE 6: Cureca Falsha, the computer Beast, went on sale in Japan in November 2005. For GBA players, this is a mixture of joys and sorrows. On the one hand, GBA has entered the end of his career, and Capcom even said before the release of the game that this work is the end of the series, and players will inevitably have a sad feeling of "having no choice but to go away"; on the other hand, after the accumulation of the first two works, this work has reached a very high degree of completion in all aspects, and it is a well-deserved conclusion.

The team originally planned to launch "Locke EXE 7" for NDS, but the team changed its plan in the middle of the development of this work. The original "EXE of the Locke" is the first masterpiece of GBA, so the series should end with GBA, leaving NDS to a new era.

The team is worried about the balance problems caused by the dark chip in "EXE 5 of the Locke people". In this work, Yasumi Masahiro abandoned the theme of "good and evil" and changed it to "Control Power". Cureca and Falsa give the Locks the animalistic power of fury, which takes time to accumulate. If the Locks continue to beast despite fatigue, they will enter the limit state of only 1 point left in HP.

The mighty Cureca

The flexible Falshakureka focuses on brute strength, while Falsha focuses on flexibility. Both beasts are refreshing, but only two transformations are not enough. To this end, this work adds a "staggered replacement" that transforms into other navigators. This time, players do not need to consume any chips, all interlaced transformation can be directly selected in the menu, greatly increased flexibility. The two transformations can be combined into a more powerful "staggered beast", coupled with the fatigue state of the "super beast", the two versions of a total of up to 24 forms. If you include the modified card, this number can be further added up, which is eye-popping.

In this work, players can manipulate their teammates' navigators to explore in the network without peripherals, but the maximum HP limit of teammates is only 800. to continue to improve their ability, they must rely on peripheral Link PET_EX or arcade game "Battle Chip Arena". This work's dedicated card reader, the Beast connection Gate, allows players to operate the blues in combat.

GBA, peripherals and arcade interacted with each other to talk about the flawless regret, and the team pointed the problem to the cassette capacity of 8MB. The former Frody modification card can continue to be used in this work, only changing the ability without changing the shape, because the cassette can not hold more shapes. The team also plans to make a comeback of Serenad (Serenade), the hidden Boss of EXE 3, also because of insufficient capacity.

Unlike those who are jokingly called "pupils for ten thousand years", "EXE of Locke" has a clear timeline. The Light and Heat Dock in the original "EXE of the Rocks" has just become a fifth grader, while the "EXE 6 of the Rocks" ushered in the ceremony at the end of primary school. In reality, from 2001 to 2005, the primary school students who follow this series are about to become junior high school students, which is one of the reasons why the development team decided to finish the series.

The person who is most reluctant to part with the series is Zhenghe Eguchi. He wrote "the end of the EXE' of the Rocks" at the end of the script, thought it would be over if it was written, and deleted the sentence, and then he repeated the process over and over again, and finally decided to finish the series. However, Eguchi said that the so-called end is only the end of the game, and the life of light and heat will continue after graduating from primary school.

The sales of "Locke EXE 6" are 600000 in Japan and 800000 in the world, the same as the previous one. Yasumi Masahiro and Eguchi believe that the comprehensive quality of "EXE 6" can rank first in the series with "EXE 3". In the player vote, this work also won the second in the series of plot, the first in the system, and the first in music. "EXE 6 of the Rocks" is the most refreshing and balanced work in the series, and there are still players who continue to fight in this series.

Capcom launched "Locke EXE: online Legend" for i-mode phones in October 2006, and the timeline of the game goes back to the elementary school days of Light and Heat. This work also has original Boss such as Cowboy, which adds more content than "Network Phantom". The plot centers on the lost ancient civilization Atlantis. The launch of this mobile game makes players feel vaguely that "EXE of the Rocks" is not really over.

Capcom, the cowboy from the Internet Legend, released the Meteor Rockman on NDS in December 2006. This book continues the timeline of the Locke EXE and is set in the 23rd century, an era in which radio networks dominate the world. The battle screen has changed from a 2D side view to a 3D back view, and the chessboard has shrunk from 3 × 6 to 3 × 5. The protagonist can only move around the last row, and the other four rows are all enemy's mobile space. However, the protagonist has his own shield and transient attack ability, which alleviates the problem of insufficient mobile space.

"Meteor Locke" an Jung-bo believes that the system of "Locke EXE6" is so complex that it is difficult for primary school students to understand. He hopes that the system of "Meteor Locke" is simpler, but the actual effect can only be described as crude. Capcom has released three versions of this book at the same time, which is a strategy that Pokemon can't even imagine. The release of "Meteor Locke Man" and "Bao Ke Meng: Diamond Pearl" and "the Warriors against Dragons and Beasts: Joker" at the same time made the situation worse. Although this work has achieved 600,000 sales in Japan, because Capcom seriously overestimated shipments, most cassettes were sold for 500 yen instead of 4800 yen, making it the most famous "value collapse" case of the NDS handset. The house missed all night's rain, and the animation popularity of "Meteor Locke" was not as popular as before, and the cartoon even turned into a parallel world, which was regarded by players as black history.

The highlight of "Meteor Locke Man" focuses on the plot. The protagonist Xinghe is a rare autistic teenager in the game world, who falls into depression because his father is missing in the universe, and the situation does not change until he is transformed into a Locke through an airwave device. Xiangmei Kong and Platinum Luna, the two hot and cold heroines, are far more important than the vase-like Sakurai Meilu in "EXE of the Rocks". Brother Band, a feature of the Meteor Rockman, is similar to social networks, allowing players to edit their profiles and add distant players to their friend list through the Wi-Fi network. These are the improvements of the "Meteor Rocks" compared to the "Rocks EXE".

Xiangmei Kong and Bai Jin Luna's "Meteor Locke 2" in 2007 was reduced to a dual version, the combat system was slightly improved, but the encounter rate increased, affecting the rhythm of the game, and the plot dominated by ancient civilization was suspected of frying rice. Although Japanese sales of the film fell to 300000, the cassette was worth 1000 yen.

The development team learned from the bitter experience that the 2008 "Meteor Locke 3" not only had an excellent plot, but also greatly evolved the combat system. On the one hand, all kinds of classical systems derived from "EXE of the Locke people" return in this work; on the other hand, the transformation form of this work is also more gorgeous and powerful.

Japanese sales of the gorgeous transformation of "Meteor Locke 3" fell further to 200000, and cassettes were worth 2000 yen at one point. However, with the passage of time, more players have discovered the excellence of this work, and now the cassette price of "Meteor Rockman 3" has risen to 8000 yen.

Although "Meteor Locke 3" finally made a comeback in word of mouth, the sales of this work ended in failure, and Capcom cancelled the development plan of "Meteor Locke 4". Today, "Meteor Locke 3" has become a classic alongside "EXE 3", and domestic players have also launched a Chinese version of "Meteor Locke 3".

The 2009 Locke EXE: operation Meteor is an improved version of the original Locke EXE. This work solves most of the shortcomings of the original GBA, but the new "Meteor Locke" linkage content is very little, and the overall quality is still not as good as "Locke EXE 2", not to mention the follow-up works. After only 50, 000 sales in Japan, both the EXE and Meteor Locke series entered a long period of silence.

There are few additions to Operation Meteor when heroes return. When Capcom shelved "EXE of Locke," players held on to the baton. Domestic players Sinicized "Locke EXE 2" in 2008, "Locke EXE 3" in 2015 and "Locke EXE 6" in 2019. European and American players introduced Locke EXE: operation Meteor in 2018 and Locke EXE 4.5 in 2019, adding English patches to the two games, which are only available in Japan.

The Japanese version of the English patch of "EXE 6 of the Rocks" is also worth mentioning. Because Capcom has launched an English version of the cassette in Europe and the United States, this patch seems unnecessary at first glance, but in fact, the European and American version has deleted too many things. Although Capcom did not sell all kinds of peripherals in Europe and the United States before, the European and American versions of "Locke EXE 4" and "Locke EXE 5" can still use peripherals from Japan. However, "Locke EXE 6" deleted the relevant data of these peripherals in the European and American versions because of capacity problems.

Another major problem is related to Konami, because "continue our Sun" does not sell well in Europe and the United States, Konami cancelled the launch of "New our Sun" in Europe and the United States. The European and American version of "Locke EXE 6" is not only unable to connect with "the New our Sun", but also the relevant content of the single story has been deleted. In order to play the full content of "Locke EXE 6" in English, European and American players launched a Japanese version of the English patch in 2013, including linked content that Capcom had not previously translated.

There is a famous Bug in the original GBA of "Rockman EXE 6". After the players have cleared the plot, the soundtrack on the map still does not return to normal, maintaining the noisy melody before customs clearance. This Bug is Eguchi's negligence. Both domestic and European and American players have solved this Bug in the patch of the GBA version.

The best is yet to come, and in 2019, the mGBA simulator provided support for a series of peripheral codes. In 2022, based on the mGBA simulator, European and American players launched the "Locke EXE" series of special online simulator Tango. With the Rollback network code, Tango can also achieve good online results in the high-delay network environment, promoting the communication of players around the world.

Players' enthusiasm for "Locke EXE" is not limited to patches or simulators. Some independent game developers have made their own imitations of "Locke EXE", such as "Eden Road". However, the system of these works is different from that of "EXE of the Rocks", and the fun of fighting is a little less.

EXE: Megaman Battle Network Chrono X, a free companion game updated since 2009, is perhaps the most legendary player project. A team of six started from scratch and transplanted the core of the series to the PC platform. Because PC games are free of GBA's cassette capacity restrictions, the team can add original content as much as they like, such as the rapid human form transformation that GBA doesn't have. Chronicle X supports online warfare, and the team plans to launch an Android version in the future.

The rapid human transformation in Chronicle X from 2014 to 2016, Capcom invited outsourcing company M2 to reissue a number of "Locke EXE" on the Wii U mainframe in the form of a GBA simulator. M2 does not provide combat function, access to the online menu can only get some chips and a small number of modified cards, which is better than none at all.

Capcom finally launched the "Locke EXE Collection" for PC, PS4 and Switch platforms this year, which is currently in a "perfect but imperfect" state. This time, Eguchi abandoned the simulator scheme and transplanted a series of six generations of orthodox works to the modern platform, with NOESIS as the front end of the interface.

The collection contains all the modified cards and Japanese activity chips, and has its own pictures and text captions. this menu is more intuitive than the simulator. The collection does not include a series of dedicated card readers, still missing part of the GBA game content. New additions to the NDS version are also absent from the collection, and the best versions of the original "Locke EXE" and "Locke EXE 5" are still NDS.

The game content of this collection is based on the Japanese version, and Konami has also expressed its cooperation. European and American players can play the linked content of "EXE 6 of Rocks" and "New our Sun" in the collection without patches. However, Konami did not launch the "our Sun" collection, so the online mode is still absent this time. As far as domestic players are concerned, this collection has made up for the 3 GBA games without Chinese localization. As for the clearance soundtrack Bug of "EXE 6 of the Locke people", it was listed as the first item by Jiangkou as the target of collection restoration.

In the aspect of Jango transformation card online in "Locke EXE 6", the collection adds a ladder function, but the online transformation card only has two options: on and off, which lacks the detailed grouping rules of the Japanese competition in that year. The online collection also has no rollback code, and the experience of high latency is obviously lower than that of the Tango simulator, but the matching function of the collection does not require additional engagement software, which is more suitable for ordinary players to practice fighting.

Several games that are not included in the collection can see relevant pictures in the gallery, and it is unknown what Capcom will do with these works in the future. The new 3D Lockman model in the main menu draws on the creativity of NDS games, but this model only appears in the main menu and cannot interact with the game at any time as NDS does.

The above comments completely hold the attitude of "picking bones in eggs". Although this collection is not perfect, it is absolutely sincere. Ordinary players will not pursue "perfection". For most people, the "perfect" degree of "EXE collection of Rocks" is enough.

After 20 years, many players now grow up, even get married and have children, and they don't have time to play 6 RPG slowly, so the collection has joined the "100x Locke Cannon" mode to help players get through the customs quickly. Eguchi hopes that veteran players can recommend this collection to their children, so that the game can become a bridge between parents and children for two generations, so that the future of the series will have more security.

Unlike what many people think, the transplant process of the collection is not smooth, and a lot of data from the GBA period are kept on floppy disks or even printed paper, which cannot be guaranteed for 20 years. Eguchi can only try to contact the developers of that year to recall the details, and the migration process of the collection is like an alumni reunion. Eagle Point has been creating cartoons for "EXE of Locke" on and off over the past 20 years, and the short title he provided for the collection is "Alumni reunion that has not been seen for 20 years", showing the state that characters such as Light and Heat Dipper are entering their thirties.

After directing "Meteor Locke 3", Masahiro Anma, a short cartoon created for the collection, left Capcom with Keiji Inagawa, and now Masahe Eguchi has become the number one figure on the development team. Some GBA players have added Capcom as adults, and they have a deep affection for the "Locke EXE" series they grew up with, and this collection is also the result of their efforts. Eguchi sees hope in them. Eguchi is willing to stay at Capcom for another 15 years until a successor is trained before retiring. Eighteen years after the release of "EXE 6", we can finally look forward to the future sequel "EXE 7". Eguchi is brewing a future different from "Meteor Rocks". The "EXE Collection of Rocks" has sold more than one million people in half a month, adding another bargaining chip to the future. Players just need to wait patiently.

Times have changed, and the popular collection games on the handset are now facing a different fate. " The new works of "Pokemon" and "Game King" are still strong, an impassable evergreen tree for newcomers; "the Warriors against Dragons and Monsters" was silent for years, and last month Square Enix announced that it was developing a new work on the Switch platform; "Digital Baby" in turn tried to imitate the characteristics of "EXE of the Rocks", but there were few responses; and the popular "monster watch" ended up fishing in the sea, which has long been completely forgotten by players.

What kind of evolution will be ushered in in "Locke EXE 7"? Can Light and Heat Dipper and Locke sweep the handset again? We not only look forward to, but also look forward to.
