    Mega Man Legacy Collection is a seriously comprehensive celebration of the classic NES series, with a total of six games and a healthy sprinkling of brand new challenges. The dip in quality in the latter titles hold it back from a perfect score, but this is otherwise an essential purchase!

    The Mega Man Legacy Collection on the Switch is the best I’ve played yet. With extra challenges, a rewind feature and some of the best emulation of the Nintendo Entertainment System I’ve seen. This is a must-have collection for sure.

    It still is a decent collection of one of the most difficult game franchises of the NES era.

    For newbies, this is a BRUTAL collection of games that spits on Dark Souls (seriously). The first Mega Man title will make you lose your damn mind. But I've played it roughly 500 times so it's a breeze for the experts as I say.

    There is also a 'turbo' mode that negates slowdown (mainly from Mega Man 1 + 3) and it really adds a lot to the gameplay. No longer can you 'cheat' through hard sections as the game slows down to a crawl.

    Regardless, it's great value for money. Six brilliant games, wonderful concept art/promotional stuff and challenges. There is a lot of value here. Get it.    … Expand

If you’ve played those games as a child and liked them, this will be exactly what you expect. There’s even a TV mode that makes it look like on an old CRT TV, and a setting that emulates the slowdown that would occur in the original games when there were too many sprites on the screen. The collection is also packed with bonus content, so all in all, for this price, this is a steal.… Expand

Mega Man Legacy Collection is a fantastic way to play the classic NES Mega Man games nowadays. Probably the best way to play them, actually. Not only does it include near-perfect emulations of Mega Man 1-6, but it also has a TON of extra content on top of that. There's a music player that includes every song from each of the games, and a challenge mode that really puts your skills to the test. Whether you're a newcomer or a veteran to the series, this is an amazing way to experience the classic NES Mega Man games. Highly recommend.… Expand

There was maybe one spot where I noticed someBeen 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 low rating. 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
