Mega Man Legacy Collection Reviews
While not an essential purchase by any means, this is a fine collection that's worth a shot if you're curious, or are looking for an excuse to revisit these titles.
A great starter kit history lesson for a beloved platforming franchise. Be warned that it is a very tough and often frustrating lesson, but that it does have its rewards.
It's six Mega Man games and something that takes all those games to create a far more interesting prospect. Mega Man fans deserve better than this, but it's the best they're apparently getting, and it's pretty good for what it is.
Some may cry foul at the lack of more recent Mega Man titles, but Mega Man Legacy Collection marks the gold standard for retro re-releases. Purists, your savior has arrived.
Digital Eclipse considers 'Mega Man Legacy Collection' to be just as much a time capsule or museum exhibit as it is a video game, a sentiment I do not disagree with. A great deal of work has been put into curating the games and adding new, optional content while retaining their retro aesthetic. A few video issues crop up here and there, and perhaps the gameplay can be stubbornly vintage, but this is still a great compilation.
Some will argue that if you're going to buy one video game collection this year, it should be Rare Replay based upon sheer value.
So the games look and sound great, so how do they play? Wonderfully! The controls are responsive and the feel of playing these games from the NES days is totally there.
All in all, the Mega Man Legacy Collection has just enough toss-ins and challenges to make it worthwhile, while not messing with the highly-successful formula that formed the foundation of this long-standing franchise.
The original six Mega Man games have never looked better, and while the Xbox One controller provides some annoyance with button layout, there is plenty to tackle in this collection of glorious 8-bit gaming.
Ultimately, the Legacy Collection is a solid tribute that serves as a love letter to hardcore fans and a gateway to newcomers eager to experience the glory of classic 8-bit platforming. If you loved the classics or simply want to know what the fuss is all about, the Mega Man Legacy Collection is one you'll want to add to your gaming inventory.

As such, Mega Man Legacy Collection feels incomplete. It doesn't feature any of the games that launched after the heyday of the NES era and even then brings them to modern systems with performance warts and all. Yet somehow with the six games it does bring to the table, it provides enough for fans to indulge in with challenges and archive artwork, while also bringing in new players with conveniences such as the save system.
