Rated for PS3, PSP and PS Vita
Perhaps it's coming to the PS One classics.

Being PS1 game, I assume there is no dual audio, is there much dialogue in the game?
Checked few videos and it does look very interesting, never played this before.
 
OT:why doesn't ps4 have ps1 emulation at the minimum? Every sony console or handheld has had it. Just doesn't seem right.

This annoys me too. If they offer PS1 and PS2 emulation through PSNow streaming, I will be a little irritated. The PS4 can emulate PS1 and PS2 games, it has the power to do so.

Wait...for PSP? I thought they discontinued store support from the PSP, or was that something else?

PSone classics are generally rated for PSP even if the store is closed. See Suikoden II.

I think it has to do with the music in the JP version?

I haven't played Misadventures in some time, so I can't pinpoint any specific examples of copyrighted music. However, the Japanese version of the game does feature two vocalized pieces, "Love Letter" and "Magic", sung by Mayumi Iizuka, Tron's voice actress. Not that that has any relevance to the English version, but contract issues with her songs could explain the game's absence on the Japanese PSN.

All I'm aware of is that the VA for tronne's brother is a canadian actor that was arrested for child pornography. I don't know if that had any bearing on re-releases of the game.

He was dropped by the agency representing him. I don't know if that's playing a role in re-licencing his voiceover work.

I have a copy of this game, but resale or not, I hope its' getting a psn release. Anything that gets Megaman legends more exposure is a good thing.

Suikoden II still goes for over $100. But as mentioned, incomplete copies took a hit.

"Capcom USA VP, Christian Svensson confirmed that the original Mega Man Legends will not be made available on Sony’s PlayStation Network due to property infringement issues. His quote regarding the situation was as follows":

“For example, there are games in our catalogue that have logos or other things that would be identifiable as other people’s I.P. without permission, and either due to historical litigation or fear of potential future litigation, sometimes we aren’t allowed to use those.

“Other things, like for example you had voicework in the game, but the voice actor… Within the scope of the contract that was there, either the contract is lapsed in terms of its term or the contract never defined that digital distribution was an allowable use for their work etcetera. So voice acting, scores, soundtracks, middleware contracts all have to have the same stuff there.

“In some cases, the company that we did things with is gone, but that doesn’t mean that somebody doesn’t own the rights and couldn’t come after us, so in the name of having to protect ourselves, sometimes these things are not going to be able to be put up again, and in the case of the emulations, we can’t make changes to the content, so there’s no way to just sort of remove it and just have it be up there.

“The net result is, in the case of Legends, unfortunately Legends isn’t going to be able to be up there; it failed an I.P. sweep and a contract check.”

Awesome news if true. I've been wanting to replay Tron Bonne for years, but I didn't take very good care of my disks as a kid and I wouldn't want to worsen its condition. Tron Bonne and Street Fighter Alpha 3 were the games that pretty much defined my childhood.

Brother. Teasel was the brother. And yes, very likely the licensing for his voice, along with all the others, is the major snag in re-releasing the Legends games. That said, apparently there was voice acting in Misadventures, so if they wanted to re-release either they got the rights or they just stripped out all the voice acting period.
 
Definitely not as good as MML 1 + 2 but the game is still a fun little romp with some great VA. Hope it comes out soon so more people can play it.
 
Megaman fan here but a Legends virgin. I hope they release the PS1 games of the series on PSN soon.

I ask LegendsGAF how does the late N64 port of MML1 stack up to the PS1 original? Is it worse, better or the same?

Damn that sucks but I guess you can't except a company to cover such thing in a contract for technology that didn't even really exist almost 20 years ago.

Most people would say worse. I'd say marginally better. I prefer being able to use the analogue stick even if it isn't true analogue control. I also prefer the way the game looks on the N64 generally though the sound quality took a hit.

Wait. MML1 ain't Dualshock compatible?

Also I reckon one part where the N64 port wins hands down is loading times, am I right?

Don't you have a PS3? Or is your Vita EU account only?

Dual Audio? Is this that Steery-o/Moano thing they keep hyping about?

Worse. I believe they edited out some stuff to fit the cartridge. Also the n64 controller is garbage.
 
Oh god, please bring this to the European PSN. I absolutely loved Misadventures of Tron Bonne, but copies of that game are horribly expensive nowadays and I don't want to risk using my copy any more since it's a promo review disc.

IMO the PS1 controller before dualshock was just as good as the N64 controller. Of course once the Dualshock and supported games came out it was no longer a competition.

Is MML Dualshock compatible?
 
IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING?!?

Yeah, those VAs were the main issue (& the fact one was *ahem* arrested for reasons mentioned aboved), plus that one song.

I only played Legends/64 and it's so damn expensive to get Legends 2 and Tron Bonne, so I guess they were able to work out the legal issues now compared to a few years back.
 
I JUST got a copy last week(for a "fair" price) and it's a pretty solid game.

It would be awesome to get the legends games on psn too...
