It can be a bit disorienting, too, since not all titles have the same features, such as Mega Man’s power slide, introduced in Mega Man 3, or the charge shot introduced in Mega Man 4. This fluidity means that players can easily swap from one game to the next if they’re feeling stuck or simply want a change. Players can pick any of the titles at their leisure, and the game even includes a save feature so that players don’t have to both scrawling down the series’ admittedly confounding passwords on scraps of binder paper like the good old days, though of course they’re still an option. As I said, Mega Man Legacy Collection includes the first six titles in the series, all released for the NES from 1987-1993. Now, let’s move on to the games themselves. I’m still on the fence as to whether this choice was the best, but that’s mostly because I’d personally love to see the old games retooled with the more recent character designs and some smoothing of the admittedly rough edges. While this may seem an odd choice in the modern world of remakes, it’s a solid choice by Capcom to not fiddle with anything and to ensure that the classics stand as they always have.
Nothing about the games themselves has been altered or updated, so gamers can expect the titles to play exactly as they did back in the 1980s and 90s. It’s interesting to see how these titles hold up, and what extras Capcom has thrown in to sweeten the deal.įirst and foremost, let’s make sure this is clear: the Mega Man Legacy Collection is not a remastering. Releasing today for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, this re-release of the classic games that brought hours of frustration and joy to those of us fortunate enough to grow up during the 8-bit era allows a whole new generation of gamers to see the iconic Capcom character in all his pixelated glory. With that established, I was really, really excited at the announcement of the Mega Man Legacy Collection, a collection of the six NES Mega Man games for the modern console generation. Mega Man Legacy Collection on PlayStation 4Īlright, kids, it’s confession time: I’ve been a pretty big Mega Man fan since the Blue Bomber’s days on the NES.
