    While there are a few small missteps with the Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection, they ultimately pale when compared to the broad, useful features added. The fact that not only can fans and first-timers enjoy the Star Force series, but can also tailor their experiences to their liking without the need for emulators is wonderful, and Capcom's efforts to release much older games in bundles on modern platforms really should be commended. If you're a newcomer interested in quirky action RPGs or a long-time fan looking to re-experience the magic, the Star Force Legacy Collection is an easy recommend from me.

    Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection is a great example of how a remaster should be, making three unique DS titles accessible once again on modern devices. Although Star Force comes as one possible evolution to what the Battle Network series proposed, the titles are still unlike anything else on the market in its combination of deckbuilding and action. The new collection is a complete pack that anyone interested in exploring the games for the first time or coming back to them should get.

    Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection carries over all the quirks inherent to its original platform and successfully adapts them to modern standards. Although the games show their age in some aspects, it’s hard to put the experience down once you understand how they work. With a variety of visual and audio options to satisfy both newcomers and purists, a content-rich gallery, and quality-of-life improvements, Capcom has delivered the definitive way to play this sub-series.

    Capcom’s Legacy collections have been one of the few groups of retro releases that I’ve been looking forward to. Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection is one of them. It feels very similar to the Battle Network games, both for better or worse, and all seven games that were released in the series have been wrapped up in a nice package with extras, quality of life improvements, and online multiplayer. It doesn’t change the quality of the games themselves as much, so there are still some big reasons why they may not be enjoyable, but as a fan of the Battle Network games, this was great.

    A solid collection that brings back one of the most unique Mega Man sub-series, with enough improvements and content to justify its return, though overshadowed by the lack of Spanish language support.

    This collection serves as a competent preservation tool, offering impeccable technical customization and quality-of-life additions. While these DS titles represent a period of diminishing returns for the franchise, the polished interface and robust online features make it an essential acquisition for diehard fans despite the lack of local translation.

    Most people buy collections because of the games, and in that sense, you cannot go wrong here. Mega Man Star Force is a great series that you will have a lot of fun with, but it’s just not as good as Battle Network was. If you’re looking for special features, there are plenty here, but compared to other offerings from Capcom, it’s quite obvious that their Legacy Collections are copy/paste paint-by-numbers by now, so if you were hoping for something special or extra here, you won’t find it.
