    A great form to show up to the new generations the awesome 8-bit games of the blue bomber.
    So...
    The last Mega Man compilation was great, and more completely compared to Legacy Collection, but isn't bad.
    The extras, like the music library or concept art, are so great, and give us more of the Mega Man history.

    This game is an honestly great examole how video game collections should be made - all the classic Mega Man games (1-6) in great quality, and a few good additional tools to play around with, however, I find my problems with the collection in the lack of content to buy the collection for - yeah, the original games, in good quality but it does not offer for the giant money it takes you, itThis game is an honestly great examole how video game collections should be made - all the classic Mega Man games (1-6) in great quality, and a few good additional tools to play around with, however, I find my problems with the collection in the lack of content to buy the collection for - yeah, the original games, in good quality but it does not offer for the giant money it takes you, it is just..a collection, so if you are low on money you should consider setting up an emulator.… Expand

    Plays like they downloaded ROMs and put it in an emulator then created their own front-end so the menus weren't just plain text. Runs like it's on the piece of crap hardware the NES was in 86 but with higher system requirements just to get it to boot.

    They didn't put the effort in to make these run as well as MM9 and MM10 did (both games which should be included in this collection,    Plays like they downloaded ROMs and put it in an emulator then created their own front-end so the menus weren't just plain text.

    They didn't put the effort in to make these run as well as MM9 and MM10 did (both games which should be included in this collection, likely to be pieced off later on Steam though). All the slowdown and sprite-flicker you remember is there. They said they left these in for accurate emulation purposes, but let's face it, they did it because leaving 20+ year-old games as-is is less work than recoding them to make them run at a consistent framerate without sprite flicker, and then making the "legacy" features optional.

    Oh, and there's a bit of delay with the controls compared to playing on an emulator, the Wii/Wii U VC, or original NES... it's minimal, but in a Mega Man game, minimal delay is pretty noticeable.

    So glad Steam refunds are here.    … Expand

    Whether you are a returning fan or looking for an experience similar to Shovel Knight, this collection has a lot to offer. The core gameplay has not lost it’s potency with age. For those looking for old school challenge or experience the definitive version of the early Mega Man classics, look no further than the Mega Man Legacy Collection.

    Mega Man Legacy Collection does not offer anything new, but the old has a new tasty cover. Aside from the disappointment that are the new challenges and achievements, this is an excellent compilation. The old games are presented with care and emulated perfectly. [Oct 2015]

    The new offering from Digital Eclipse is a nice really collection. It will probably be more appreciated by older and nostalgic gamers, but we must recommend it to the younger ones as well, because it represents an important piece of videogame history.
