Leaving Behind a Legacy


Mega Man Legacy Collection
Capcom
Steam (2015)
_______________________________________________________________________

The release of Mega Man Legacy Collection has been rather controversial with fans. Here are a few facts everyone should know:



The NES cartridges have suffered remarkably from inflation, and aren't equipped with frustration pain killers (quick save features). Buy them if you want them. The controller is certainly more suitable.



You have the choice to emulate. Use it if you choose it.



The Mega Man Anniversary Collection on GCN included Mega Man 7&8 and some sweet little JP only fighting games, but it also reversed the shoot and jump buttons for a crippling button layout. Regardless, it was a great collection and you can buy it.



Mega Man Legacy Collection doesn't include 9&10. It would have been better if it did, just like if it had also included 7,8, Mega Man & Bass, and the entire X and Zero collections.



Fifteen dollars is really not a lot of money, ya know? I've spent more for broken Early Access games. These are six of our favorite games of all time, with trophies, art, music, and challenges.



The slowdown and flicker plagued our beloved NES cartridges, too.



You may think Capcom sucks because of their recent business methods, or for their treatment of the Mega Man producer and product in the past. That doesn't mean this package sucks.
