    So I have real fond memories growing up playing Mega Man games, especially Mega Man 2 and Mega Man X. So, in this game I’ve only played a bit of Zero 2 so far, but I came away unimpressed. Your character, and the enemies, are disproportionately big for the screen, which gives little time to react, especially since there is no wide screen. The graphics look bad. Like, the NES games lookSo I have real fond memories growing up playing Mega Man games, especially Mega Man 2 and Mega Man X. So, in this game I’ve only played a bit of Zero 2 so far, but I came away unimpressed. Your character, and the enemies, are disproportionately big for the screen, which gives little time to react, especially since there is no wide screen. The graphics look bad. Like, the NES games look better. The dialogue is boring and tedious. And I have to hold down the R button and tap another button at the same time to use my secondary skill. Being that the sword is so much more powerful than shooting, I usually put that as my primary skill, and I’m left with A MEGA MAN GAME THAT I HAVE TO HOLD DOWN 2 DIFFERENT BUTTONS JUST TO SHOOT!!! The simplistic gameplay of earlier mega mans was much more accessible and enjoyable. I would only recommend this game to people who’ve previously played and enjoyed this game.… Expand

    Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection contains four GBA games of the Zero series, and two DS games of the ZX series. All of them are playable with enhanced graphics through a couple of filters and there are nice add-ons too in the form of new modes that increase accessibility or expand longevity. Meanwhile, a huge gallery full of artworks and soundtracks will surely please all the fans of the series.

    With another great collection under its belt, we can only wonder now where Capcom goes next. [Issue #45 – March/April 2020, p. 72]

    Overlooking the flawed storytelling, fans will find six games stuffed with content and gameplay to enjoy. In the Zero series, players are treated to the same zippy run-and-gun platforming adventures that the X series did so well. Zero can be upgraded throughout each entry, with a number of both permanent and temporary buffs to take advantage of. The Zero games are notoriously challenging, but the Casual Scenario mode and Save-Assist features do a lot to ease the difficulty for those that are interested in a reprieve. This collection is a perfect way to spend some time and it’s highly recommended to consider giving it a download!
