The legacy continues with Mega Man Legacy Collection 2! Bringing together four of the Blue Bomber’s adventures in one package with loads of bonus content and challenges, this collection spans the evolution – and retro revolution – of the classic side-scrolling series starting August 8th on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC for $19.99 both digitally and at retail in North America!

 

[The Last One]

Nice!

 

[Zalman]

For once I won't have to beg Capcom for a physical release.

 

[ggx2ac]

So Mega Man 7,8,9 and 10.

 

[Jazzem]

So happy 9 and 10 are getting ported to modern platforms, 9 especially!

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Mega Man 7, 8, 9, and 10.

 

[Berordn]

But is it the Saturn or the PSX version of 8?

This is very important.

(also where's MM&B)

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

Hopefully with no bugs. I'd really like to have this on PC.

 

[Azure J]

Actually, let me not portbeg here haha. Still wondering why they did the collections in this way though. One big legacy Collection is a lot more enticing than two seperate collections.

 

[LeeorV]

Why the heck isn't Mega Man & Bass in there? it IS part of the original Mega Man series...

 

[Frumix]

Which version of 8?

 

[labaronx]

Cool

 

[PapaEmeritus]

Where's the Switch version Capcom?

Incredible.

 

[clay_ghost]

Where is my battle network collection Capcom?

 

[Jazzem]

But is it the Saturn or the PSX version of 8?

This is very important.

(also where's MM&B)

Almost certainly the PSX version I would've thought

 

[entremet]

No Rockman and Forte?

Boo.

But nice to have these. I will buy them again.

 

[Ravek]

Incredibly excited.

 

[LukasTaves]

Great, but I also want a Megaman X collection capcom, just do it

(And release all 3 of them on game pass while you are at it)

 

[Persona7]

Will grab this so I can play 9 and 10 on newer platforms.

 

[Kent]

So is it the superior Saturn version of Mega Man 8? I'd hope so.

 

[HeartlessNobody213]

Great for those who love the classic Megaman games.

I like them but I wish Capcom would release an X collection for PS4.

 

[CriterionDog]

No Megaman & Bass? C'mon Capcom

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Nice. This game is perfect for PS4.

 

[Marcel]

Laughing at the thought of anyone expecting me to pay for Mega Man 8 again in any form. What a joke of an entry.

 

[entremet]

Great for those who love the classic Megaman games.

I like them but I wish Capcom would release an X collection for PS4.

If this does well I'm sure Legacy Collection 3 will just that.

 

[Jazzem]

Great for those who love the classic Megaman games.

I like them but I wish Capcom would release an X collection for PS4.

I'm sure that'll be next if this does well

 

[Lights and Waves]

Extra armor and checkpoints? I might bite.

 

[Persona7]

He is right though .- wonder whats the reason for Capcom skipping Switch on these Collections. That tight of a development budget ? I mean Classic Mega Man titles are at home on Nintendo systems....seems weird to skip 3DS/Switch.

Anyone has a explanation ?

Are they really? What are sales like?

 

[AcceptableGhost]

Who is making this?

 

[Rapscallion]

Why the heck isn't Mega Man & Bass in there? it IS part of the original Mega Man series...

That was my reaction as well. Game consistently gets overlooked.

Eh, I'll pass. These collections are pretty shallow considering we literally received collections with Mega Man 1-8 on GC/PS2 with update music, galleries and more.

 

[David___]

Hope they do a Megaman X collection down the line

Where's the Switch version Capcom?

Non existent so they didnt announce it like it existed. Pretty simple really

 

[robot]

Wish they would've thrown MM x SF on there but just glad I can play MM9 on the PS4.

 

[smokeymicpot]

Great for those who love the classic Megaman games.

I like them but I wish Capcom would release an X collection for PS4.

Seriously. At this point the next collection they do needs to be X collection at this point right?

 

[Toadthemushroom]

Ah, platforms match the ratings board submission.

Lack of Switch versions for both this and the Disney Collection really show how Capcom Execs weren't sold on the system. Especially given how easy it would be to churn out a Switch version of this Vs. a Resident Evil remaster or even an original game.

Wonder if Capcom will sell the games individually once the collections are all done with (think like the Sega 3D Classics), that would be really neat.

 

[iosefe]

Lack of mega man & bass might be due to it never being localized until the GBA version. To give the ideal experience,we need a fully localized version of the SNES version as a doubt a GBA game would look good on a TV these days

 

[AuthenticM]

Actually, let me not portbeg here haha. Still wondering why they did the collections in this way though. One big legacy Collection is a lot more enticing than two seperate collections.

edit

sure. I'd like a physical version of the first collection with the patches on the disc/cartridge.

 

[Robin64]

Not nearly as enticing as the first collection. 7 is average, while 8 is atrocious. 9 goes back to being awesome, but then 10 isn't as good as 9.

 

[Type40]

Why doesn't it have Mega Man & Bass?

 

[mjc]

Well damn, I would have preferred a Zero collection or a shift into the X series. In time I guess.

 

[DeuceGamer]

No Megaman & Bass? C'mon Capcom

Yea, really should be included.

Still hope we get a new game in the Mega Man world soon. Not holding my breath but if these compilations can keep him relevant and introduce him to a new audience then maybe not all hope is lost.

 

[WarRock]

Will probably get for 9 and 10 eventually, but no & Bass or GB Megamans is straight up bullshit. Also, BN Collection without GGPO netplay would be useless.

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

Is this the first physical release of Mega Man 9 and 10?

 

[Mrstriker09]

X collection has to be next right!?

 

[IronLich]

Loving this red carpet treatment they're giving to the Megaman re-release.

I really enjoyed playing the challenge mode in the first collection. Really kept you on your toes with the changing of 8-bit games as you cross from section to section. I would really like to see that being used to switch entire game styles during a rermix challenge. You slip from 16 bit to 8 bit in an instant. It would rule!

 

[Marcel]

Actually, let me not portbeg here haha. Still wondering why they did the collections in this way though. One big legacy Collection is a lot more enticing than two seperate collections.

Yeah, best not.

 

[PsihoPerihelion]

MM8 has a special place in my heart because it was one of my first PS1 games. I'll buy a PS4 and a XB1 copy for my young brother. Now all we need is MMX and Legends Collection.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

He is right though .- wonder whats the reason for Capcom skipping Switch on these Collections. That tight of a development budget ? I mean Classic Mega Man titles are at home on Nintendo systems....seems weird to skip 3DS/Switch.

Anyone has a explanation ?

Capcom likely had little to no confidence in the platform until very recently. Capcom USA in particular, as these compilations are spearheaded by them.

Anyway, hopefully we can use this thread to talk about the actual game.

 

[TheSpoiler]

Instead of whining on NeoGAF about the lack of whatever version

You could

I dunno

Show them on Twitter that there is a fanbase willing to buy it?

I don't see power battles on that list. Where's power battles.

 

[cw_sasuke]

I could understand the uproar if someone ask in a AAA western dev title where the Switch version is. But in this case its a legit question...why is Capcom skipping Nintendo plattforms for there Collections ? Disney Afternoon Collection not being on 3DS also seemed weird.

Maybe this has something to do with the impact of potential VC income/titles...but then again the first MM Collection was on 3DS.

 

[family_guy]

Is X like the red-headed step child of the franchise?
