There's just no reason to bother with the PSP, it's almost as dead as the Vita!

My exact words out loud as I saw this. YASS!

Good luck using the analogue nub and the D-pad in conjunction to either move (R1 + L1) or to aim (R2 + L2). Both configurations would be pretty terrible.
The controls were modified in the PSP version... I can't remember exactly how off hand (it's been ... jeez... almost a decade since I played them on PSP) but even then it was pretty iffy.
Mega Man fans finally get some good news and it's being co-opted by people port begging classics to PS4...

Does that mean the PSP is less dead than the Vita?

Holy crap, day one!!! So hyped for this! Hopefully we can get 2 as well.
Well damn, time to get the PS3 running again! I had regretted passing on a chance to pick this one up for a decent price, so I really happy for this. Been wanting to check these games out.
They still haven't done this yet?

According to the internet the Vita is the deadest of dead systems. So I guess?

Y'all are forgetting just how horrible the controls of this game are
Great! Awesome! Fantastic! Please release 2 also!
...It's kind of bullshit that it won't play on PSP, though. I've been playing the game on PSP for years. I assume it's part of some licensing thing, or similar.
Anyway, I don't mind sticking to the PSP ports regardless. I'll still buy the PSN version just to have.
Why, yes, I have. Multiple times on PSP, in fact! Around once a year. It plays just fine.

So I take it this was a good game given everyone's reactions? I vaguely remember it getting good reviews at the time (maybe), but never played it myself.
I'd be interested in the "variety of constraints" that prevent it working on PSP, though. Sony just no longer paying to certify any classics work properly on the platform?

Go to menu, change default controls so turning is left and right on D-pad and strafing is L1 and R1... It's not that hard.
On emulators you can change the turning to the analog sticks. Hopefully you will be able to do that here.

It has problems (as mentioned, the controls) but it's super unique and charming, has a great world and characters. It's fantastic.

All ps1 classics work that way on vita. Tron Bonne plays great that way.

Imagine a playable Mega Man Cartoon/Anime. A really good cartoon/anime. That is the legends series.
It's built into the game... Heck I think it even asks you if you want to use L and R or the D-pad for turning, it just defaults to the wrong one. Then again, maybe it was Tron Bonne and MML2 that asks at the start and you manually have to set it in the first one... Either way, it's an option built into the game itself.
Given 3 PSP compatible PSone Classics have come out in the last week (2 today), probably not.
You act like I'm not buying this on my Vita when it's released lol.

That's what I'm talking about! Capcom I will gladly give you my wallet if you keep this shit up.

Hm? I never said you weren't. I was just giving a good justifiable reason why the PSP is a bad system to release it onto.
I can't even imagine trying to get a top score in the TV studio games while trying to use the D-pad and analogue nub at the same time.

Seems like a reasonable rationale.
In my eyes, it's the best PS1 game ever made. It was basically 3D Zelda before 3D Zelda, plus robots and extra anime-ness.

I'm now going to purchase a PSV, just because of this announcement. Thank you, Ccappocpomnn, for this!
Be careful, I bought a 3DS for that exact same reason and we saw how that turned out.... Yeah I'm still bitter.
Better wait till it's actually out just to be sure.

For those playing through for the first time, remember that the game will let you sell things that you have equipped without warning you. The Game Informer guys found this out the hard way when they sold everything to try to buy some high priced armor only to find out in the next episode that they'd sold all of their upgrades

End game spoilers, so don't watch if you haven't played the game before. But that's the moment they realize that they're screwed up in a major way. They also saved over their most recent save when they sold everything.

Recently replayed it. Game has Aged just fine but the shooting tank controls are a pain.

Is it really port begging to expect a current gen console to be supported?

Nice. Day 1 for sure.

When you de-rail a topic that has absolutely nothing to do with it? Yes.
Strafe while jumping and shooting. Luckily MML2 allows you to lock on and strafe at the same time, but you can get by pretty well by doing that in MML1.
I thought It didn't change until MML2. I was quoting you for other guy in my post.

Oh my god, YES. Instant purchase. I can't believe this is finally happening.
Totally replaying it on my Vita!
Here's hoping we can get Legends 2 as well!
Also, it's really great to see all the Legends love in this thread. I'm glad so many of you know how special a game/series this is. <3

WELP time to hook up my PS3 again!
Not really. Legends 1 has a very generous auto aim in place. The only instance where you need to lock in is when there's enemies way above you, mostly just the ferry boss, which doesn't matter in terms of controls because you can't move and lock on in Legends 1. And L2 does nothing here btw
And controls are fine. There's nothing wrong with turning with the L & R buttons. You can move forward while turning perfectly fine, and it's super easy to circle strafe enemies. I really don't understand the control complaints with this game.

No it's not. People just like to complain about port discussion since it's seen as a "bad thing" in general, when it's actually not always a problem, especially in a thread that is about ports. (which this basically is)
You can't derail a thread about ports by asking for ports
Currently the classic releases only work on "legacy platforms". It's quite stupid.
