Capcom has officially announced the existence of Mega Man Legacy Collection 2, which was outed by a Korean rating back in April and as expected includes Mega Man 7, Mega Man 8, Mega Man 9 and Mega Man 10. Unfortunately it won't be coming to Nintendo Switch or 3DS, despite the fact Mega Man 7 was even a SNES exclusive while 9 & 10 had WiiWare versions. You'll need a PS4, Xbox One or PC to enjoy this compilation.
This collection follows in the footsteps of the 2015 original, which was released on the 3DS as well as other systems. Here is some PR blurb which explains some of the bonus goodies in this classic game compilation:
A compilation of four timeless adventures in one package, Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 features the most recent entries in the classic side-scrolling series. The collection also includes a Museum jam-packed with history and production art, challenge remix stages for long-time fans, and first-timer friendly options like added armour and checkpoint saves for easy reload. Journey through the later entries in the series with these four titles: Mega Man 7 introduced mysterious rival Bass and his companion Treble, while Mega Man 8 featured the series’ first impressively animated and fully voiced cutscenes; Mega Man 9 marked the series’ return to its roots with 8-bit visuals, music, and gameplay; Mega Man 10 retained these features and included three playable character options.
We do find it a bit bizarre that Capcom has overlooked Nintendo platforms for games which - with the exception of Mega Man 8 - were exclusive to or well received on Nintendo hardware. Of course Capcom also recently passed on releasing its Disney Afternoon Collection on the Switch or 3DS.
Are you disappointed with this news, or perhaps unsurprised? Let us know.

Thanks for nothing Crapcom.
Such a shame, I'd get this day 1 for sure if it released on the Switch!
Unsurprised. They'll probably make more money by releasing them on the eShop one game at a time, if VC ever arrives.
Why...?
Good ol Capcom...always around to disappoint. I've had bought that for switch immediately too. Oh well.
Thanks, Capcom, for being so freaking stupid. No wonder people hate you.
Capcom, being crapcom as usual
Ahaha ha what happened to that Switch Support Capcom?
That's fine. I have a PS4, but this is something I would only consider buying on a portable system. Thanks Capcom.
Sony bribed Capcom maybe ?
Anyway, it will a Bad Karma, Capcom !
Welp, Capcom lied. They're not supporting the Switch.
I'm disappointed it won't get a Nintendo release despite the proper place for it, but I'll still get a PC release since it'll be nice to have a proper official PC release of MM 9 and 10.
Seems like a dumb move. It would be really easy to "port" to Switch and 3DS. Capcom never cease to amaze me with their incompetence.
Guess I'll get it on PS4, but I would much rather have it on my Switch or Vita.
Well, that's a rather disappointing ending of a day that started off pretty positive with the Monster Hunter XX live stream...
Lol you guys are too dramatic! Hopefully the release an X collection eventually.
Crossing my fingers (but not holding my breath) for a Mega Man Legacy Collection 1+2 for Switch announcement at E3.
What about WiiU?
Still no Megaman X collection.......
CRAPCOM!! WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FAAAAAWQ
@Anti-Matter Doubt Sony would bribe them, they don't have anything to gain from it really.
It would probably take a day or two to port to the Switch. It's not like ny of the titles will be tasking on the hardware. With the Switch making great strides in Japan Megaman on the go is surely a winning combo.
Heh. Capcom disappoints again~
This doesn't necessarily affect me, but I'm quite disappointed for a lot of fans out there who'd have loved to have seen Megaman on Switch.
Come on Capcom you are the kings of ports and charging full price. Why is this port hard to port to the switch? Oh well...
Well instead of owning them on switch, I just won't be buying them. Today's PS4/X1 gamers don't want as much retro as these devs think.
@EternalDragonX I would buy that.
If the Nintendo Switch version have Megaman 1-10 (or more just like Anniversary Collection) in one, that'll be great. Maybe something more than just Legacy Collection. Who knows.
lol wut - skip your biggest fanbase.
First Disney Afternoon Collection and now Mega Man Legacy Collection 2!? Wow, Capcom. You guys are just the best -_-
That's a shame. The collection seems like it'd be best on Switch (or Vita), but it's hardly as essential as the original. 7 and 8 aren't very good games, IMO. The remix / challenges wouldn't be as fun with those two being 50% of the content. As for the original games, I don't really feel the need to revisit 9 and 10, but if they were portable, I'd probably double dip (or triple dip for 9, since I own that one on Wii and PS3).
There's no Rockman and Forte so it's a pass for me anyway.
How riduclous. They would sell very well on a Nintendo system.
Not surprised since collection 1 isn't on switch either
I guess I'll have to get my Mega Man style fix on Switch via Mighty Gunvolt Burst. I'll pick up this collection on Steam, though a physical Nintendo version would have been great.
Muppets
@MrGamerClock64 So two souped-up ports, one of which is guaranteed to sell gangbusters in Japan and has the Switch's first unique hardware design, means they aren't supporting it?
This and the Disney Afternoon Collection were done using smaller teams. They're not notable physical releases; they're just ports rushed out on the consoles with PC architecture.
Only has 4 games so I wouldn't have gotten it anyway.
It's not surprising, but it IS confusing. For some games, like Far Cry or something, you can't blame them because Switch is "weaker".
But this? I mean, 16-bit remakes? What is the reasoning? I would love to hear it because I can't see it.
Very disappointed! I understand why publishers often skip Nintendo platforms, but this is clearly a missed opportunity. They would make money on a Switch version.
geez only four games? I hope the price is cheaper. I'm not a big Rockman fan to be honest. However it seems odd not to release this on some version of a Nintendo system.
I thought Capcom said were going to support the Switch.
Nintendo's E3 had best be phenomenal!
CapCom needs to stop nibelsnarfing over Nintendo fans!
Give us Resident Evil Remake, Resident Evil Remake 2, Resident Evil 3. Resident Evil ZERO (Which was supposed to be NINTENDO EXCLUSIVE), MegaMan Collection 1 and Mega Man Collection 2, Resident Evil 4 (another Nintendo Exclusive), DISNEY afternoon, Ducktales HD, and many, many more!
Disappointed definitely, although will be more disappointed if any future Megaman X Collection skips the Switch.
Trying to be positive, but wonder if they are planning a complete Mega Man 1-10 collection for the Switch?
A crazy and stupid move, but not a big deal for me because I can just get it on PC.
@MarcelRguez Well said as that is what I'm thinking they are waiting for.
This only makes sense if a Mega Man Collection Complete is coming to Switch.
If those are the "close partnerships" they were talking about, i wouldn't want them to be enemies.
The only way this isn't a ridiculously stupid (but typically Capcom) move would be an announcement of a double pack compilation exclusive to the Switch, to get the rest of the series onto it as well.
But knowing Capcom, this is a far too logical for them.
Basically like "We're cancelling MML3, because the 3DS won't sell anyways"
I guess they don't want to make money
I'd rather have Disney Afternoon Collection than Mega Man but why?! What's stuck up Capcom's butt lately? Or is this all possibly Nintendo's own fault...
ARE YOU KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW CAPCOM?! Screw you too. I'm making Mega Man and Ryu my new training dummies in Smash 4. Definitely not going to pick up Monster Hunter on Switch now either. I wouldn't have played it anyway, but probably would have bought it to support their games on Switch. But now, forget it.
Now where's that image of Inkling Girl giving that Up Yours gesture when you need it?
Makes absolutely no sense. The one collection of games I would definitely want on a switch would be all the Mega Man games! I would even pay extra!
A missed oportunity to include Mega Man & Bass.
Well then. Looks like you won't be able to enjoy the Mega Man 7 ending in its full Mode7 glory. That was the problem with the original Mega Man collections on PS2. Though the Gamecube version handled them ok iirc.
Can some Japanese firm absorb Capcom so they can kick out the current executives running the company!
@MisterKorman I think the 3DS version of the first Legacy Collection may not have sold as good on the 3DS due to one reason. Mega Man 1-6 had been on the 3DS eshop for years before the collection arrived.
Now, for PS4 and Xbox One owners, the Legacy Collection was their first chance to play the NES Mega Man games on their systems. For many 3DS owners like myself, I don't think we were lining up to double dip on a collection that had games we already owned.
When the Legacy Collection came out, I already had MM, MM2, MM3, MM5, and MM6, with only Mega Man 4 missing from my collection. All the extra bells and whistles were not worth rebuying games I already owned.
Now, I did get the Xbox One version of the Legacy Collection because it was was on sale at the time, my brother wanted to play the games, and I wanted to play them on a big TV in HD.
So, I skipped the 3DS version and got it on the Xbox One. I'm sure I'm not the only one who opted for another version or simply skipped it altogether.
Until they say "it's not releasing on Nintendo platforms at all", I won't believe this assumption to be true.
Guess I won't be buying it then since there's no Switch version.
🤦🏽♂️
...dude...
No! The only chance to get Mega Man 8 on the Switch!! Dangit, Capcom...
I am wondering if E3 provides an answer. If not, dang...
At first I was interested, and now I'm not.
This sucks big time. This collection would sell better than the first since 9 and 10 are unavailable on the VC.
Would have loved 9 and 10 on the Switch. Thanks, Capcom.
Also, I really don't see what they think is impressive about 8's cutscenes and voice acting. Doctah Wahwee...
How hard is it to port this to Switch?! Jesus
Would prefer this for Switch or 3DS, but I guess I'll get it on the Xbone if I must
@Yosher
"won't get MH now"
Don't take it out on Monster Hunter. Stuff like that just ensures we won't get any games and you'll be in this comment section complaining alot more often then you are now.
I'm pissed, and I won't be buying this game on any platform. They want my money they can port it to Switch. But Monster Hunter is not only coming to Switch, it's not coming to other consoles. Taking out your aggression from lacking a game by further depriving yourself of yet another game, and in the process contributing to future deprivation of even more games... isn't the answer.
The MH team should be commended for their support, in spite of what goes on with other teams. And it's gonna be a rockin game. At the end of the day enjoy what comes, and take a position like me to not buy this anywhere else. If they want our money, they know where we'll be
Well why on earth wouldn't it come to Switch or 3DS??
WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😡😡😡😡 as if Disney Afternoon isn't an insult enough with no Switch version!! I don't get it!!
Oh well, I guess I'll be getting this on the Xbox One. Good thing I never bought Mega Man 9 or 10 on the 360!
I guess we didn't buy enough copies of Ultra Street Fighter II.
I'm bummed I can't grab it for 3DS - to have all 10 on one platform - but I still have a computer and Xbox One, so I can still snag it.
Capcom should really reconsider.
You were this close to redemption, Capcom. THIS CLOSE.
Not surprised, but still disappointed. I'd love these portable on my Switch.
Maybe they should have announced this before the MHXX port reveal?
Nintendo must have already licensed Megaman games for virtual console.
It sucks, but, there might be some reasoning for it. With the Disney Afternoon Collection, that isn't purely Capcom. If Disney doesn't want it on Switch, then Capcom can't do anything about it. With MM Legacy 2 not coming to Switch, it's sorta understandable, since Switch does not have the 1st Legacy collection. With that, perhaps the reason why is because of a possible Ultimate Legacy collection, where instead of only having the 2nd of a 2 set, it'll be both sets combined.
Sounds like Capcom. I swear all of thier decisions regarding Megaman are being made by a chimpanzee.
@MisterKorman
It sold well considering they haven't listened to feedback and patched mm5!
Looks like the Switch will be Capcom's Monster Hunter platform for now...
Can't imagine MMC2 not hitting the Switch eventually thought...
Wow, yet another let down by Capcom and another kick in the teeth being a Nintendo fan.
@AlternateButtons It's also for XB1 and Steam.
But like I mentioned before, it would be rather silly to release the 2nd Legacy set on Switch without having the first, so why not just bundle them together into one?
So the first Legacy Collection gets a 3DS release, but not this one. Makes sense.
what a strange decision
Figures. Hopefully we'll see them on VC, should it ever be revealed...
Wow the Nintendo fan base has loads of Megaman fans, but yet they port the game to Xbox, and yet there audience of gamers are less interested in platformers.
Doesn't make any since 😒
Don't care, bring on monster hunter
I don't care either way. I already have 7 on my 3DS, and I don't care for the other three.
Just talked to my sister yesterday about 9 and 10 and how I never got them for Wii. Great timing. Unfortunately it's not for a console I own. Hoping it'll be released on Nintendo devices later.
Poleshift!!!
Maybe they Will make a Megaman Complete collection with a crappy motion control minigame and it Will cost $60.
@Discostew Regarding comment #83.... I'm sorry, no.
Put it this way, would people be defending Capcom if (in a parallel universe in which USF2 doesn't exist) they announced that Street Fighter V wasn't coming to the Switch by saying "it makes sense, the Switch doesn't have Street Fighter 2, Third Strike or IV"? No, of course not. Why should it be any different here?
The first legacy collection was released on PC, a Sony Platform, a Microsoft platform and a Nintendo platform. This legacy collection will only be releasing on PC, a Sony Platform and a Microsoft platform. And they've done this exact approach with the Disney Afternoon Collection as well. You declaring that Capcom will release a "Ultimate Legacy Collection" for the Switch reminds me of the naive people years ago who thought the Wii U would get the GOTY version of big third party games when they weren't announced for the Wii U alongside other versions when revealed.
@JaxonH
Preach. If you don't approve of Capcom porting these compilations to the platform it is most convenient for you to play on, don't buy the game on another platform. If you're not going to enjoy the games as much as on your Switch, why bother?
Would have bought both this and the Disney Collection in a heartbeat on Switch. Very disappointing.
They need to release both the Disney and the Mega Man stuff on the switch, hopefully they will rectify the situation soon.
Meh, they are just old games that probably doesn't benefit me anyways. I still want to see some new games for the blue guy, not these lazy ports that took minutes to put together onto a Blu-ray disc.
good guys over at capcom, not wanting to expose switch owners to mega man 8
Oh I see the problem. It would make too much sense for them to release them on platforms where Megaman and platformers are popular.
They'd might even have to consider making a new entry in the series.
Here we go!!
@Lewieboy124 We're talking about a collection here. You're making no sense with bringing up SFV with a different context. And I've already explained a reason why the DAC probably won't come to Switch.
As it is, the first Legacy collection sold the best on.....you guessed it, a Nintendo platform.
Why is this skipping Switch? That makes NO sense.
I bought the 1st Mega Man collection on PS4 for £3.99 in a sale I'll probably do the same with this one too and wait until it's cheap. I'm really not bothered it's not being released on Switch but who knows maybe both collections will be ported later in the year.
I am so very torn up at my inability to repurchase old games on a new platform. What a tragedy.
@Discostew
"You're making no sense with bringing up SFV with a different context"
My point was that it sounded like you were saying a sequel to a game/compilation can't be released on a platform that didn't receive the first game/compilation.
"As it is, the first Legacy collection sold the best on.....you guessed it, a Nintendo platform."
Can you give me a source for that?
And if it did, then why are Capcom ignoring the consumerbase (Nintendo console owners) that bought the first compilation the most? All the 3DS owners who bought the first compilation who now own a Switch would not buy a big compilation with OVER 50% of the games being ones they already own ON THE FIRST COMPILATION. And with a bigger price tag than just Legacy Collection 2 on its own.
@Lewieboy124 Vgchartz, and though you may laugh at that, it's been almost 2 years since the 1st collection released, so their numbers are probably close enough to the actual (vs numbers based on just a few weeks after a game's launch).
And why would folks buy on Switch if they bought the 1st collection on 3DS? Well, for one, a different console (that's also portable). Two, it would seem that having the game again isn't exactly a problem for many, since on the 3DS, owners had access to all of the first 6 Mega Man games via VC, while the 1st legacy collection sold the most on it. Third is likely because the 3DS cannot really handle the 2nd Legacy collection, as it's not made up of NES games (not even 9 and 10 are NES games).
Definitely doesn't make sense considering Megaman's roots (same with the Disney Afternoon Collection). However, did they outright say it isn't coming to Nintendo systems, or are we just going by the trailer video which doesn't show them? While I can see the absence on 3DS due to the systems 7 and 8 were originally released on (of course the N3DS can handle an emulated 7, though of course they can be ported rather than emulated so all systems can run them) there is no reason to skip the Switch. Perhaps they have a full collection in mind given the first was released long before the Switch, or they just don't have it ready yet.
Of course considering the Disney collection it doesn't look good for this one either.
Why seriously the **** not!?
@Discostew "Vgchartz"
Oh yes, I am laughing. For those of you that don't know, this is a website that reports the Sega Mega Drive sold 29 million units worldwide but in reality it's actually 40 million. That's how reliable they are when it comes to sales statistics.
"And why would folks buy on Switch if they bought the 1st collection on 3DS?"
Because, regardless of portability and new content, quite a few don't like double dipping for games they already own no matter what kind of content is added. Especially Capcom games.
I mean, have you seen the reaction from people here regarding USF2? Why don't you ask them why they're not double dipping? It's because they own multiple versions of the game and I don't blame them for not buying it/waiting for a price drop.
I think Capcom plans to release Mega Man 1-7 on there new Virtual Console. It's a shame if 8, 9. and 10 get left out
You suck sometimes Capcom. Way to stick it to your oldest and most loyal fans.
@CrazedCavalier
The thing is, it's extremely simple and cheap to make. It's just a collection of games on an emulator. That's not demanding to any hardware at all. There's no excuses.
Maybe it's because all the games will be available as part of Nintendo's Classic game online service next year (joking of course!)
@redd214 No, this comment section isn't dramatic enough. Needs more "FUUUUUUUUUUUU" and table flipping gifs.
@MoonKnight7
Because Capcom got hit by the Dumb Fairy.
Well, heres to hoping theres something at e3. MHXX better come to the west, stapt. I would buy any Mega Man Collection for my Switch in a heartbeat, along with the NES Disney collection. Just look at how Hamster enjoyed the Switch launch with their retro ports. Mmm, new successful launch console money... guess Capcom only thinks Street Fighter 2 is worthy of it.
Yeah thanks Capcom, what were you thinking???
Nobody at Capcom will be bringing the potato salad to the Mensa meeting later, that's for sure.
I have to comment again!! Terrible!! Just terrible that Nintendo fans are skipped again!! 😡 Who the hell makes these decisions???
Why is Nintendo always ignored and called a "kiddy company" nowadays? Many of these companies only released games on the Big N's consoles back in the 90's.
Announces MHXX, causing excitement and Nintendo's share value skyrockets.
Still won't release retro compilations on the Switch.
Blue Bomber Blue-Balled...
Seems like a bit of a missed opportunity, but whatever. If Capcom doesn't want my money, it'd be rude to burden them with it.
Well, as long as the ports are good, I'll probably still be getting this anyway.
On a side note, I will probably pick this up on PS4, but it better offer the JP version of each game like the first one. I'd rather not deal with MM8's god-awful voice acting again. One we fine dat media, will fine doctah Wahwee!
Edit: On a side side note, I just realized there's only 4 games this time around. Really, Crapcom? Couldn't be bothered to add Mega Man & Bass, huh?
People, PLEASE STOP complaining about Capcom...they are nice to Nintendo Users. Oh, btw, SF2 Remix for Switch is 40 dollars. SF2 Remix for PS3 is on sale, for 3 dollars. Check PSN.
@MarcelRguez how so? Mega Man 7 is the only one they can release on virtual console unless they start doing psx and past wiiware support; so they can either sell an 8 dollar game or a 20 dollar game..
@duddy 8 might be troublesome, not sure if there has been another instance of a PS1 game appearing on it. The rest they can put on the eShop without an issue, VC or not.
Despite owning a PS4, I bought — and really enjoyed — the first Mega Man Legacy Collection on 3DS instead. And I'd have happily bought this second Collection too, BUT sorry Capcom, I'm sticking to my guns on this one... it's a Nintendo system or nothing for me.
Seriously, how many twenty pound notes are Capcom happy to turn their back on?
Lol
@MisterKorman I don't have sales data (or even any information that would warrant a guess), but even if it sold poorly in comparison, I don't for a second think it sold so poorly that they lost money on the port. In the same way I don't believe this would lose money, as I don't believe the Disney collection would have lost money. Unless Capcom is such a shell of its former self that they don't have enough teams to work on every platform everything about this smacks of being a wretched business decision.
I think we are at thats point where we should all just send Crapcom glitterbombs.
Eh, I'd rather have a new Mega Man game on either of the systems at this point. We know how well Capcom has been doing on releasing new entries.
That sucks, but looks like I'm getting it on the other consoles. Also, only 4 games? And you can play 9 and 10 on Xbox One already. I still say the best collection of Megaman games was the Anniversary collection back on PS2, GC, and Xbox. No Megaman and Bass, Wily Wars and the 2 arcade games?
(cough) Wii U 2 (cough)
So glad I didn't pick up Street Fighter II. FU Capcom!
I am sure some one has already mentioned this but perhaps it has something to do with what Nintendo is planning on doing with VC or something like that. Either Capcom knows something we don't or they don't know enough and are waiting to find out before they release any collections like this or the Disney collection on the Switch. There must be some reason otherwise I just don't understand why they wouldn't release these games on a system that is still in high demand and that is owned by a lot of long time Mega Man fans. They must know something we don't right?
Really should be all 1 collection with Megaman & Bass, but I'm cool since i have 1-7 mm&b on wii-u. Capcom must be planning something for nintendo users maybe. anyway, mm7 soundtracks rules!

@gokev13
Not all of us can buy/ or have plans on buying a Switch.
Did capcom say they're not doing a switch or 3DS version. Maybe they're saving the surprise for e3? Idk cuz this is just stupid.
I feel like these games are not being made, or withheld from the Switch for reasons beyond our understanding. Something is going on behind the scenes.
They could be gearing up for an E3 reveal, even though holding back the Switch/3ds version would only seem to embitter the Nintendo fanbase.
Or the online services/virtual console streaming services would make those who would buy retro game collections angry when they are all released as a part of said service.
Or Capcom sucks butt.
So Capcom doesn't want my money...
I'll definitely get this at some point but wow. Not even on a new Nintendo system made for portability? Such a shame.
I'm not one to usually complain about this but what exactly is their problem? I played the first one to death and was waiting for the second collection to purchase on day one. But I am a Nintendo gamer. I don't have time to invest in other platforms, so they just lost my business. And no, I don't really care about their lazy $40 SF2 port.
I think they are punishing us for not buying Street Fighter II.
Well, if its a choice between a new Monster Hunter or some poorly emulated old games, I'll take the former. However, I am sure it will find its way to Switch later on.
I hope Capcom will release Ultra Disney Collection and Ultra Megaman Legacy 2 on Switch in 2022 and sell it 40 bucks because of the upscaled pixels. I love getting my games as late and as expensive as possible !
Meh they suck ass
What the hell is wrong with third parties on Switch (and Nintendo systems in general)? EA, Capcom, etc.
Another smashing move, Crapcom. Shoddy emulation in your other collections, little faith in the Switch ( "we'll see how Street Fighter II does" ), and, well really just skipping 3 different Nintendo platforms for a Mega Man collection (let alone a NES Disney game compilation) says a lot to me as a Ninty fan and a general fan of Capcom :/ I thought Crapcom was one of the deciding 3rd parties that pushed Nintendo to make the Switch more powerful than Nintendo originally envisioned anyway. Though power has little to do with this compilation, still why now bow out if you influenced Nintendo to up their hardware in the first place
Sad that they're shunning Nintendo platforms. Again.
But I've got an XboxOne precisely for situations like these, so whatever.
This is disappointing. Fortunately, I can buy it on Steam, but I was hoping to have a Mega Man collection on a platform where it's most at home.
booo, no buy
Don't worry about this one folks; it likely features as part of a sizzle reel that Nintendo intends to show off for its E3 presentation next week and that's why it's not listed here.
It's in the same boat as Sonic Mania when it was announced. You can hit me with bars of soap after next Tuesday if it doesn't come.
Good news is I have a PS4. Bad news s I have a backlog of Nioh, horizon zero dawn, and persona 5 before I would take time to play with the BLUE
BOMBER.
Should have been on Switch.
Looks like Capcom contracted Konam-Idiots' disease as well. sends flowers
Yeah whatever, don't care anymore, guess capcom has it's reasons.
@ap0001 @Kayfios Don't you want to hear Clown Man tell you that he will "See you in my dream" after you kill him?
@WaveBoy Doesn't the Saturn version have a better soundtrack version for some reason?
@PlywoodStick you know, given the amount of money I've put into my 3DS I'm just glad I won't be forced to hurl it against a wall after the 400,000th instruction to "jump jump" and/or "slide slide" in frost man's stage or the wily stage.
Is it possible that Mega Man will just appear in the online library when the service launches?
And when I say things like Nintendo is irrelevant anymore in today's gaming industry, this is the sort of thing I'm referring to.
@Aurumonado *oldest fanbase
FTFY
Boy, Capcom sure made there decision on whether the Switch was worth developing for in a hurry. Street Fighter 2 was just released not long ago.
Disappointed? Psshhh... NOPE😏
@Mati
Think they'll ever recover?
Playing a Mega Man game without a D-pad fills me with dread. 😰
I'd just like a comp that includes Mega Man - The Wily Wars (Genesis/MD) and the arcade Power Battles.
Guess Street Fighter didn't sell enough.
Ugh, it just doesn't make any sense. Know your audience, Capcom.
I've been saying for the longest time I think the people running the show at Capcom are moronic. Decisions like this do nothing to change my mind. From what I've seen, USF II is actually doing pretty well, Capcom has had a few hits on 3DS so I see no reason there shouldn't at least be a 3DS version of this game. There's no doubt in my mind many of these Capcom games that have skipped Nintendo systems have a larger audience there than they do on Xbox.
@Tempestryke I sure hope so.
Ok at this point i am really lost for an answer to this ridiculous situation. Capcom is openly speaking out and supporting ther Switch and yet it doesnt release a Nintendo console based games collection to the current Nintendo console....Hmmmmmmmmmm ???? is this somehow related to Virtual Console???? I just cannot understand why this would not exist. Simple to port and a huge cash-in.
No 3DS version is obviously because the standard 3DS isn't powerful enough for MM7 and MM8. The New 3DS probably isn't even powerful enough for MM8.
No excuses for Switch though but this seems pretty normal given the other recent Capcom games missing Switch like the Disney NES collection and a lot of Resident Evil remasters.
Stuff like this and the afternoon Disney collection would get downloaded in big numbers on each respective release day. I would love to know the reasoning behind not releasing them on Switch, because this one definitely can't be excused with "the user base is too small and it's not a viable business option" as it quite clearly would sell.... a lot!
Wouldn't be surprised if Capcom has something to announce regarding DAC and MMLC2 come E3, but I won't hold my breath. Disappointing news regardless...
We'll see if Capcom announces a port later but if this is not the case, how could Capcom justify not releasing a Mega Man game (or Disney Afternoon Collection) on their biggest target audience? Especially considering that 8, 9, and 10 have not been on Nintendo's platform for over a decade. I get the ominous feeling that this is due to anticipating weak sales on Ultra Street Fighter II but Capcom should not be rewarded for a lazy, expensive port.
No Disney Afternoon Collection, no Mega Man Collection 2, no Resident Evil: Revelations 2.
OK. Capcom. OK.
This is almost funny if it weren't so sad. What did Nintendo do to piss off the Capcom people so much?
Just as I said, for every good announcement Capcom makes, the next one or two tends to be something asinine. Here's hoping the next misstep is not Monster Hunter related.
@Li_Bae
That's what I'm wondering.
The "release this game for every console, but the Nintendo one" cycle begins again... Makes it hard for me to trust third-party companies.
First we don't get "Disney Afternoon Collection" (ironic, considering every game in it are NES games) now this? I am NOT buying a different console just to get these games.
I really hate this multi-platform bias too. Can you think of any games released for Nintendo & X-Box, but NOT Playstation?
It's ok Capcom. I get it, you're doing the same thing you've been doing to Nintendo console owners for 20 years now since the N64. My attitude years ago settled on this and I'll continue how I handle it, with controlled annoyance. When you treat me fine I'll buy your stuff, but once you throw some gas out and then flick a match I'm backing off.
No Mega Man, no buying Monster Hunter. You're not the only game developer out there, far more have common sense and dignity to not play stupid games like this, especially when the first MMLC on 3DS outsold the Sony and MS platforms combined. No excuses on this one. Even if you felt the 3DS couldn't hack it, and I'd believe it with MM8 in particular, no Switch makes no sense.
Mega Man Legacy Collection 1 sold:
3DS: 240,000+
PS4: 100,000+
XB1: 462
3DS sold over DOUBLE PS4 and XB1 combined.
Yep. Not supporting Nintendo's consoles makes perfect sense.
This thing will come at a later date, mark my words!
You know people... maybe the contact with Capcom and Nintendo ain't that good. We don't know what happened behind closed doors. Maybe disagreement or something. From what I can see this collection doesn't require that much power. It could be done easily on Switch that's for sure
@Henmii And...you're right
