    Mega Man X Legacy Collection is the definite way to play the series and an amazing addition to your Switch Library and something that any Mega Man Fan will love.

    These games are worth the price, if you enjoy side scrolling action with twist and turns the X legacy Collections 1+2 is the way to go

    It's Megaman X, but on switch.

You can even switch between the american and Japanese versions of each title. Only downsides were the fact that they split it into two overpriced purchases, and that they didn't include the Zero or ZX series, though those may get their own collection down the road. Overall a good purchase, if a little pricey.… Expand

    The Mega Man X Legacy Collection is exactly what you expect it to be, upgraded ports of the classic Mega Man X titles.

    Mega Man, as a whole has always expected more of you (for the most part). You are expected to learn the games mechanics through trial and error and implied guidance. For a more in depth explanation on the latter, check out EgoRaptor's Sequelitis on Mega Man X on YouTube.

    The awesome SNES era art style of the early X games really pops when playing on the Switch. It translates very well from a traditional console game to hand held.

    TL:DR this game is fantastic, and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to scratch the X itch that other Mega Man games can't seem to reach.    … Expand

    Honestly a lot of bang for ur buck. These are good ports and fun games to boot. I really appreciate the extra settings and galleries too, got nostalgic. One negative is the ugly filter to remove pixel art shouldn’t be the default setting...

    Another solid Mega Man anthology from Capcom, with lots of extra content to supplement the flawless presentation of the X sub-series. There's plenty of challenge for those who want it, as well as a few options to make things easier for newcomers. The first four games (Collection 1) are far superior to the last four (Collection 2), but it's worth having both volumes so you can judge for yourself.

    PROS SWITCH: la movilidad y que respeta muy bien la calidad original del juego, son 8 juegos que no te pueden faltar en tu colección, el modo portátil para salir un fin de semana y acabarte los juegos en cada hora que tengas disponible, puedes jugar en japones o en ingles sin ningún problema
    CONTRAS SWITCH: que tengas que descargar la colección 2 (en lo personal amo el formato físico y yo tuve que mandar a pedir mis dos juegos desde japón para tenerlos en formato físico).
    recomendación amplia a tan bella saga.
    calificación de 7 no por que sea mal juego si no por que tienes que descargar la 2da colección en el cartucho americano el cual es el que califico.    … Expand

    It's a great collection but it's way too expensive in my opinion. Just saying.

    This collection SUCKS.
    It's probably the worst treatment the X series had.
    This Collection has the 8 Mega Man X games, COLLAPSED INTO 2 DISCS. WHY CAPCOM? WHY AREN'T THEY IN A SINGLE GAME? And the emulation... is the worst. Mega Man X, X2 and X3 have probably the WORST input lag I've ever seen in a game, and not to mention, the version of Mega Man X3 they included, is the SNES version and    This collection SUCKS.

    Mega Man X, X2 and X3 have probably the WORST input lag I've ever seen in a game, and not to mention, the version of Mega Man X3 they included, is the SNES version and not the PSX... why?
    Mega Man X4, X5 and X6 have some sounds slightly changed... some sounds are in bad quality and others are just different. This also happens with the music, in X6 for the intro stage theme, they stick with the beta version of the song (the one that doesn't have guitars)
    X7 and X8 are the only titles that run great...
    Localization: You can play the japanese versions of these games if you want, but forget about WATCHING THE ORIGINAL JAPANESE OPENINGS/ENDINGS for Mega Man X4 to X8, is this a joke? What's the point on having the option to play the Japanese version when it doesn't have its features?
    The X Challenge is lame, repetitive and unfair.
    This Collection has "The Day of Sigma" and it doesn't even have Maverick Hunter X on it! What's the point on including content from a game that isn't included?
    Overall, these two are the worst Mega Man collections...
    Want a better experience? Buy Mega Man X Collection for PS2/GC.    … Expand

    These are mostly unchanged Mega Man X games, but if you haven’t played them yet, you owe it to yourself to catch up on these gems – and Legacy Collection is the best occasion you can get. [10/2018, p.78]

    Mega Man X Legacy Collection 1+2 is a stunning achievement by Capcom that should be a compulsory buy for platformer and retro gaming enthusiasts alike. Its presentation is as good as it gets, with its bevy of extras and historical content acting as icing on an already succulent cake. There are some blemishes in the emulation of the SNES X games, and the second half of the series doesn’t live up to the quality of the first, but as a whole these compilations represent some of the greatest run and gun shooters to ever grace a gaming console— which seems to be par for the course for the Blue Bomber!

    This is a great set of 8 mostly classic Mega Man games and will certainly help get you reacquainted with the Blue Bomber leading up to his more retro return in Mega Man 11. The series started to tale off with the PS2 titles (horrible voice acting mixed with some questionable 2.5D designs), but I would love to see a resurgence in the X series like we did with the OG Mega Man series, just please do it in the 16 bit SNES style.
