Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 Reviews
Some new players might be off put by the jump in quality between the older and newer games in the pack, or even the difficulty some of these provide, but for the price, it's a nice little package to have.
Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 has more variety than its predecessor due to the titles spanning both different systems and different decades. Just like the Disney Afternoon Collection, there's a plethora of bonus content included here, spanning art galleries and music libraries. This is another essential compilation for fans of the Blue Bomber.
Even though these are all solid titles, something about this just feels like a ‘B-sides' collection of sorts.
The second Mega Man collection is a touch light on content, and by this point the formula has grown tired. That doesn't mean there isn't joy to be had though, as what is on offer remains as solid, colorful, and stimulating as ever.
Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 is a great way to check out Mega Man's later outings, but the presentation just seems a bit lackluster between the challenges not being as interesting as the original game or the puzzling omission of Rockman & Forte/Mega Man & Bass. The museum and music box modes are still good and it's nice to still practice against the various robot masters. What we did get is still pretty good, but not quite as good as the original Legacy Collection.
If these variables aren't enough to deter you, then these collections are a welcome addition to any Switch library. They are an affordable taste of one of gaming's most iconic mascots, offering hours of gameplay, extensive bonus content and challenges, and flexibility to be played either as they were, or as you would like it.
Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 reminds us why the Blue Bomber fell in the nineties. With only four titles included, the compilation runs short, especially when compared to the first one. Only hardcore fans will enjoy its many bonuses and challenges.

A pretty good remastered compilation of Mega Man 7, 8, 9 and 10. Great visuals and audio, and some extras like the challenge mode that makes Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 a nice addition to the collection of all Mega Man fans.

Capcom's second collection of Mega Man games mostly showcases a series in its death throes.
Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 may not be as sizable when compared to its predecessor, but it still boasts four solid entries from Capcom's dormant franchise.
It's difficult not to recommend "Mega Man Legacy Collection 2," but it's just doesn't quite reach the nostalgic overload of its predecessor.
Mega Man fans will either love or hate returning to the later entries from the franchise found in Mega Man Legacy Collection 2, but the new Challenges will give any player a run for their money and should be worth checking out.
The respect that Capcom and Digital Eclipse have poured into this is evident and absolutely commendable. Where I didn't particularly care for the franchise before, I do now, and while I won't ever put in the time to be great at these games, I'm glad I at least have a convenient, complete, and awesome one-stop place to go to play and celebrate this series on my own time.
Mighty No. 9 was disappointing, but real Mega Man returned. It still is tough to beat, although with it comes great satisfaction.

Legacy Collection 2, while imperfect, provides a suitable direction to follow four mainline Mega Man games across modern hardware.
With just four included games, it arguably may not be quite the value that the original MMLC was, and it's a bit disappointing we won't be seeing these games on the portable consoles (3DS and Switch) considering how well they'd translate to those platforms... but regardless, Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 is the most sensible way to enjoy these four games that exists today.
Mega Man Legacy Collection 1+2 is a great buy for any Nintendo Switch owner who wants to explore the origin and evolution of the Mega Man franchise
Series fans will find a lot to enjoy with these Collections, even though the games have aged worse than they may remember. Newcomers, on the other hand, may be left wondering what the big deal was with these games to begin with.
