    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 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...

    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 Its presentation is as good as it gets, with its bevy of extras and historical content acting as icing on an already succulent cake.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.
