    I can finally play one of my favorite franchises ever on my PC! The game looks absolutely stunning and I cannot wait to see what the modding community comes up with for this game!

    Game is a perfect port of the gameboy games, with the added bonus of multiplayer and mega buster upgrade for fast play, it’s a must have

    Perfect 10/10 I don't really have anything to complain about with this collection. It was everything it was said to be and more. This has to be the best megaman collection that capcom has released so far. I will say that there's way more new content for Vol. 2 when it comes to the patch cards.

    Amazing game from childhood. Battle system that I can think of only one other franchise that does similarly but not as good. I grew up playing these and will probably grow old playing them.

    People are review bombing this because it's not available on Xbox, so ignore them.

    All these negative reviews are from haters whi are made that their XBox didn't get this game. Well that socks to be them, buy a real console instead of the crap Miceosoft releases every few years and maybe you would get some decent games.

    This is a great port, Max Buster Mode makes it much better to play through the earlier games and online PVP has breathed new life into the fandom like never before. Overall highly recommended.

    The only valid "bad" review I've seen is the 8 that wished you could lower encounter rates. That is a fair criticism. The criticisms about the "vtuber" thing just seem like trolling. I'd probably ignore them because it seems like they're lying.

    I'm not mad at the price for what I'm getting. Trying to get a single GBA copy runs you about $60 so this is very fair, considering all they've done to the older games. It's disappointing to see people rating this game poorly die to system compatibility. No one's gonna rate TOTK poorly for not being on Xbox

    Great game, great series, glad to finally have it on a modern system. Hope they decide to continue this series woth a brand new entry. Only thing that may turn off new players is the first game has some first entry weirdness where they weren't quite sure what they were doing yet.

    Outside of that an excellent add to your catalogue of games.

    Phenomenal port of these absolute classics. I swear, it's like they predicted the future 20 years ago. The gameplay is so unique, I've never come across another game like it. Combat is easy to learn, satisfying, but also have insane depth when you get into PvP.

    A fantastic port of a classic series. The combat system is very unique and has yet to be fully utilized in the gaming industry, except for you Into Eden! Good job!

    Great collection, runs well and has all 10 mainline games.
    My main complaints involve some minor bugs and choices with the collection, like why do we need multiplayer to still 100% these games?
    Baffling choice seeing as we have to buy online now, hope it gets fixed soon.
    Besides that the collection is great and very well worth 60$

    An incredible collection of some of the most under-rated games of the GBA era. Legendary game play combining the best aspects of real-time RPGs, card collecting, and puzzle solving. Nostalgic early-2000s internet aesthetic. And one of the best soundtracks ever.

    After waiting for many years we have finally got this. 60$ for 6 gba games that currently cost over 50$ per game if you want the original games for the gba. Sounds like a deal to me!!

    This is now the definitive way to play all these games. The games all contain the Japan-exclusive content and it has online PvP. Capcom put a lot into this collection and is defintely worth picking up.

    SOMEONE IS INTENTIONALLY MANIPULATING THIS GAME's REVIEW.

    This is my first review here, as a gamer for 10+ years. For the price issue, no one forces you to buy at full price. The quality of the game is great and trial videos fully reveals what you are buying. And I noticed there are a bunch of 'not helpful' voters occur almost at the same time, weird, huh? Also, the publisher is    SOMEONE IS INTENTIONALLY MANIPULATING THIS GAME's REVIEW.

    And I noticed there are a bunch of 'not helpful' voters occur almost at the same time, weird, huh?

    Also, the publisher is trying to see if there is any interest to continue this series, by releasing a collection. There is a group of gamers hoping to see a sequel.
    Compared to the media review (which is carefully written), these 2 negative reviews are not fair to this game, at all. That being said, I will probably give it 8 or 9 even I am even more aware of the issues mentioned by negative reviews, which is consistent with media reviewers. But now I am giving it 10, to balance off the unfair reviews.

    Feel free to check opencritic, whose audience and reviewer quality are much higher

    Must Buy! Aww I feel like I'm back in my teens playing these classics. You get a 200 damage chip that you download in the game. You get all 6 games where you change the aspects of the game screen and have amazing wallpaper around your game screen. Ultimate Megaman NT warrior fanservice and it even have physical copy to for collectors. You can Net Battle and trade Battle chips online

    60$ for 6 gba roms. Enough Said. The "NEW" stuff aren't even interesting. A Mega Man vtuber skin that repeats the same lines over and over again. A PvP system that makes it near impossible to find a player, and when you find one you're probably gonna get curve stomped since they probably 100% the game! Why couldn't you just pick a set that is balanced instead of using the in game set. It's60$ for 6 gba roms. Enough Said. The "NEW" stuff aren't even interesting.

    Why is there no MMBN 4.5 or Double Team, isn't this the "ultimate collection". What's with the ugly ass font they used?
    At least the games are still good

    Tldr. Not worth 60$, wait for a sale or price drop. PvP is only good if you have a viable deck.    … Expand

    This collection is well presented and will please anyone who was dying to replay or experience the series for the first time. Megaman Battle Network Collection 1&2 are excellent packages with ample extras to keep players invested and just enough gameplay tweaking to smooth out any issues in these older titles. It's definitely not for everyone but as a Megaman fan, it is greatly recommended for its unique gameplay and style.

    Despite my issues with them, I still adore these games. The chip tactics scratch my deckbuilding itch, but it’s not so tactical that it requires mental gymnastics to succeed. The story is charming in a saturday morning cartoon sort of way, and I appreciate the ability to access these games again on a modern platform. Capcom missed a few tricks by not adding a few quality-of-life and accessibility settings to make the games less grindy, but the series still holds a special place in my heart.

    As far as retro compilations go, Legacy Collection is a fine addition to Capcom’s robust Mega Man offerings. With ten games to play through, all available additional content unlocked for them, and extras like online play available, there’s enough here to keep players busy for many, many hours. While it has been a while since the Battle Network series was wrapped up, these games remain fresh and innovative all these years later thanks to the unique battle system at its core. We strongly recommend Legacy Collection and hope that you’ll add it to your collection on Switch.
