    Been fiending for some retro gaming lately, and figured I'd give it a go on the switch. There was maybe one spot where I noticed some slowdown during my entire progression through MM1, hence my low rating. Maybe it's my faulty hardware? I've got a water damaged cartridge reader board, but I'm playing a digital download... Regardless, I'm guessing it was just bad emulation, hence my lowBeen fiending for some retro gaming lately, and figured I'd give it a go on the switch.

Playing these games shouldn't be an issue on any hardware...

    The rewind is a great tool for those returning to it, as those platforming puzzles can be frustrating. I won't lie, I enjoyed when the muscle memory kicked in on those boss battles! I don't remember doing this before, but somehow I know the input patterns. I did buy the second pack, as it was on sale and it's good enough, but if I wasn't fiending so bad, I would have just bought a pocket retro device for the same money as 12 months Nintendo online and the 2 MegaMan legacy packs.    … Expand

    Now look, I love Mega Man, but this collection didn't really suffice for me. I just think the 8-bit games didn't age that well. If you want some Mega Man action, I really recommend Mega Man Legacy Collection 2, as the later entries in the series are a lot better. It's OK, just not the definitive Mega Man experience.
