    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.

    Despite the rich selection of bonus material, Mega Man Legacy Collection still suffer of occasional frame-rate drops. Once again, we can suggest to buy this collection only to the old-school players and Mega Man aficionados.

    A collection with the sex Mega Man games for NES made available for the latest consoles is a great deed. The restoration has been cautious and the games are thus unchanged, which unfortunately means that the the flaws that existed 20 years ago persist today, like choppy frame rate when too many enemies are on the screen. A nice new feature is the challenge mode, which is insanely addictive. However, it feels stingy to not get a bigger collection, given that previous collections contained clearly more titles.

    A good retro collection that features the first Mega Man games with some extras.

    Avoid the save states if you can - if your blood pressure can take it. [Nov 2015, p.80]

    As retro compilations go this is very good, with pixel perfect emulation and some useful bonus features. But only existing fans will feel the games justify the effort.

    Mega Man Legacy Collection is not the best compilation of classics released, but it’s definitely not the worst. Worth a download if you are a fan.

It is the original games from the original code, with the original bugs. Which means it also has the original exploits and codes. If your a true Megaman fan and want the game from back in the day on your new console, this is perfect for you.

    Don't be fooled by the negative ratings. 5 of the 6 negative reviews come from the same 2 people. Apparently they bought it for the PS4, then went and bought it on the PS4. Then one of them bought it for the PC and surprisingly hated it there also. That's assuming they bought it at all.

    Also the negative reviews fall into 3 areas, based on unrealistic expectations. Some wanted the 10 bit games. Which they knew weren't coming in this collection. But might come as a DLC if this does well. The other admitted there were small timing issues only a hardcore Megaman Savant would notice. And then there is the Mixed reviews that wanted the game to be updated for today's gamers. Which would be a waste of Capcom's time and resources. Since the original maker of Megaman made "Mighty #9" which is launching next month and is basically a modernized Megaman.    … Full Review »

    These games are well emulated and just as you remember them. A save anytime feature has been added.

    Another positive review stating to ignore the negative reviews. I own these games on NES and have played 3 of the 6 as recently as last week.Another positive review stating to ignore the negative reviews. I own these games on NES and have played 3 of the 6 as recently as last week. This collection is as faithful of a recreation as I have come across for any game. Yes, you MAY POSSIBLY MIGHT notice some visual glitches and timing issues but 99.99% of you won't (I didn't and I am an AVID fan). One person stated that it doesn't come with a sound track or art work...which it 100% does...even old mockups and **** I've never seen before.

    Further, it is $15 for 6 games. You can't buy them on NES for that. You can't buy MegaMan 2 on NES for double that in good condition.

    10/10 would buy again and would have paid more for it.    … Full Review »
