Mega Man ZX, known in Japan as Rockman ZX (ロックマンゼクス Rokkuman Zekusu) is the first entry in the ZX era, developed by Inti Creates and published by Capcom. The game was first released on the Nintendo DS in Japan in July 2006, then September of the same year in North America and finally June 2007 in Europe.

Set 200 years after the events of the Zero era, the game introduces the M.E.G.A. System (Meta-Encapsulated Granule Awareness), known as R.O.C.K. System (R.O.C.K.システム Rebirth of Crystallized Knowledge), a mechanic that allows the chosen protagonist Aile or Vent to fuse themselves with a Biometal through a process known as Megamerge (ロックオン "R.O.C.K. ON" in Japan) that grants them the abilities and appearance of whom it is based upon.

The game was later re-released as part of the Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection on multiple systems, in February 2020.
