Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection

Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection is an excellent way to get into this alternate saga. Its fun and addictive gameplay is still there, although it also becomes more noticeable how confusing these games could be and the lack of innovation in the latest entries of the series.

Capcom has produced another delightful capsule of its past with Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection. The quality of the games themselves varies, but there's a lot to like about the bundle of goodies we get from it.

While it’s missing some quality of life features that would have been appreciated, and the games included are a bit samey on the whole, Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection is easy to recommend to Mega Man fans, and also those keen to see what the Battle Network series is all about. The combat system at the core of these titles is still engaging and original, and while you might tire of the random battles, chances are you’ll battle on to see Lan save the day time and time again. Throw in some welcome extras, and you can’t really lose.

If you've never tried this alternate franchise in your life, you definitely need to get Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection, especially since the individual games are already hard to find. For its part, if you already have all of them in your GBA collection, you are not going to find something from another world.

Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection is a content-rich collection, not all of which has aged well. The brilliant combat system enhances the collectible nature of the chips, never-frequent random combat and little more than adequate technical realisation may not make the games suitable for the seasoned audience of 2023.

Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection is a fantastic compilation of RPGs that I'm very happy can see the light of day again. The question is: will there be a Star Force Legacy Collection with Mega Man Network Transmission included? I can only hope.

Capcom aims to make a new generation of players appreciate the work done by Inafune two decades ago. Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection proposes a dozen well-maintained titles embellished by an online sector, a mode that makes the fights less harsh and a couple of goodies (patch cards, for example) that veterans of the Game Boy Advance/ Nintendo DS will appreciate. Someone will complain about the lack of some famous spin-offs, but the package offered puts more than 200 hours of gameplay on the plate (to really complete everything you will have to invest twice as much). In short, Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection is an unmissable opportunity to rediscover/recover one of the most underrated Game Boy Advance series. The only doubt concerns the price of the collection which is definitely not cheap (59.

On the one hand, the combat systems in this collection remain a joy throughout, but on the other the pacing can feel a bit slow, and there aren’t enough modern additions. [Issue#28, p.92]

For a collection, Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection is one heck of a deal. Ten games, each being 10+ hours long, in one package?! That can’t be beaten. Plus, from a preservation perspective, this collection is great at making old GBA classics and one of my favorite series from Capcom, playable on modern consoles.

There is plenty of quality in the Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection, but it is stretched over a lot of quantity. Ten games for the price of one sounds great, but if those ten games are almost identical, that changes things considerably. To reuse that Pokemon comparison, this is like buying a bundle of ten older Pokemon games, which seems like a bargain, but those ten games are spread over just two or three generations. That quantity is what you are really paying for, so you should be aware of that going in. If a heck of a lot of Mega Man Battle Network is an appealing prospect to you then by all means, jump right in. If that water looks a little deep, then you might want to hold off for now.
