    This game is exactly what it is advertised to be, the 6 original 8 bit Megaman games. They are in their imperfect original glory. It has added challenges to make it even better. And if you like speed runs, everyone can see your top scores and times.

    As they give you exactly what was advertised and more [challenge runs], and it's only $15 bucks this game is a 10 IMO.

    As they give you exactly what was advertised and more [challenge runs], and it's only $15 bucks this game is a 10 IMO. Especially as it is just frosting on the cake to get people back into the Megaman vibe, just in time for Mighty # 9. The game ran perfectly fine on my system. The only glitches and hiccups are left overs from the original Megaman games.

    Anyone who rates this game badly because it doesn't have the 10bit games, just didn't pay attention to what they were buying. They specifically said the 10bit games might come out later as a DLC if there was enough interest.    … Expand

    Mi crítica va dirigida hacia los dos volúmenes de esta recopilación. No tengo nada en contra de los 10 videojuegos incluidos pese a que prefiero la saga X, pero con ambas recopilaciones tengo exactamente la misma queja sobre dividir ambas sagas en dos discos, lo cual no tiene sentido y es innecesario ya que cada saga cabe perfectamente y de sobra en un solo disco, es más, ambas sagasMi crítica va dirigida hacia los dos volúmenes de esta recopilación.

    This... is Mega Man. Nothing more. It is simply an emulation of the 6 original games for 15 dollars. Now, that is not a bad thing, as the emulator does bring a few new things to the table, like filters and that oh-so-glorious 16:9 option. It also brings a neat challenge mode, but it does get old quickly. Still, I had a bit of fun trying to beat my friend's high scores for the yellow devilThis... is Mega Man. Nothing more.

If I were to rate this based on the games themselves, it would be a 10. However, seeing how lazy this collection is, I say it should get a solid 8, and it is the best way to play the games without hooking up an old CRT and an NES.… Expand

    This collection includes the first six MM games. It also features the Japanese versions, a challenge mode, a rewind mechanic, a few display options and the musical soundtracks. The games themselves haven't been altered in any. Fans of the series will love this, while newbies will get a chance to experience them with some nice extras. I would rate this with an 8.5 out of 10.

    Hello there. I mostly wanted to write a review here to set a couple of things straight. The game runs fine for me, and contrary to what "somedude14" says, in order to make the game(s) easier to port, the dev team behind the collection actually ported all of the games to a completely different engine. Which required rebuilding all of the games from the ground up.

    While this may have been a desperate apology from Capcom, this was about the best way that it could be done.    … Expand

    If you're a hardcore fan of the Blue Bomber and don't otherwise have access to the games, the Mega Man Legacy Collection is a convenient way to replay these Capcom classics, but as a collection, it doesn't compare to Rare Replay or even the last-gen SEGA Vintage Collection games that were put together by M2.

    It's a decent tribute to an overrated series, and the ports are accurate - to a fault. [Nov 2015, p.87]
