MegaMan NT Warrior DVDs
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
MegaMan NT Warrior was first released on DVD in Japan under its Japanese title Rockman EXE (ロックマンエグゼ Rokkuman Eguze?), divided into five series (EXE, Axess, Stream, Beast, Beast+) beginning 2002. The English-language version of the first series was later released in the United States and Canada beginning 2004. This article contains information on each Volume.

The episode releases in Japan are vastly different to the English ones in both aesthetics and content. In Japan, volumes typically contain three episodes (with the exceptions usually being the first volume in a series to contain two and the last volume to contain four). The Japanese volumes are also released in two not-for-sale "rental" formats, DVD and a VHS, but with identical contents. These versions have slightly different box designs. The DVDs were typically released once a month, but sometimes there were simultaneous releases near the end of a series.
For English releases, each DVD contains four episodes each (originally, the fourth episode was included as a special "bonus" episode with a separate menu from the other three episodes on the DVD). The first six volumes were also released in VHS format; however, they only contained three episodes each (skipping the fourth episode that appeared on the DVDs). Presumably, the VHS versions stopped releasing due to poor sales. The DVDs were originally released somewhat sporadically, but since Volume 5, a new volume has been released every January, April, July, and October in a tri-monthly pattern.
The Japanese DVDs typically contain the episodes themselves with occasional bonus material (such as clean intro sequences or special trailers), as well as (in some cases) promotional merchandise (like wristbands or playing cards). The Japanese DVDs only offer the original Japanese voice-track without subtitles. The English DVDs almost always come with the same bonus features (trailers of Mega Man Battle Network video games or promotional screens for merchandise), and these also come with occasional promotional merchandise (like Battle Chips for the PET toys). The English DVDs only provide the English-dubbed and edited episodes with optional Spanish voice-track. Additionally, the episodes featured are the Canadian versions; in certain instances, the versions that aired on Kids' WB in the United States were heavily altered (including the combination of certain episodes into one) or were not aired at all.
The 48-minute feature film, Rockman EXE: Program of Light and Dark, also received a DVD release on September 21, 2005 in Japan. The DVD includes a trailer for the sixth video game, a teaser for the fourth anime series (Beast), and a ForteCross E-Reader card for use on the Team of Blues and Team of Colonel versions of Rockman EXE 5. The DVD does not include the Duel Masters movie (which premiered in theatres as a double-feature alongside the film).

Since Beast+ episodes are half the length of a normal episode, placing six episodes on a single DVD is equivalent to placing the standard three episodes that previous DVDs have featured, and similarly, having eight episodes on the final volume is equivalent to having four standard episodes.
| Name | Release date | Episode # |
|---|---|---|
| Rockman EXE Beast+, Volume 1 | 2006-12-20 | 1-6 |
| Rockman EXE Beast+, Volume 2 | 2006-12-20 | 7-12 |
| Rockman EXE Beast+, Volume 3 | 2007-01-17 | 13-18 |
| Rockman EXE Beast+, Volume 4 | 2007-01-17 | 19-26 |
The episodes included go by the English version's numbering. VHS releases only include the first six volumes, and they only contain the first three episodes from their DVD counterparts (so every fourth episode was missing in the VHS releases). The VHS release dates were simultaneous with the DVD releases.
