Review Mega Man Legacy Collection (3DS)
In the year 20XX...
In the year 20XX, the robot hero Mega Man is in a strange place. For whatever reason, Capcom seems to think of the storied series as something of a relic of the past - something that inspires nostalgia and reverence, sure, but not a franchise that could compete in today's world of gritty shooters and action titles. Mega Man...

Nice. I'm looking forward to this. A holiday game!
Oh snap, I'm the first comment.
Ahhhhhhhhh yeahhhhhhhhhh!
Nice looking
I bought them back on the megaman eshop sale. Save states for the win! (i suck at megaman games)
I hope they port Mega Man Powered Up to the 3DS eshop.
Is this game worth buying for someone who has never played a mega man game from scratch? What do you guys think?
@Blynyork Absolutely, if you're interested in the series. Start with the second game, it's the easiest one by far (if Normal mode is included like in the western releases of the game, but even without it, it's probably the easiest one to get into). It's a great series, and you will find yourself becoming better and better at it the more games you play. And you'll probably want to replay some of them more than once.
You should probably leave the first one for later, though: it's arguably the toughest one, mainly because it's the only one without energy tanks (which you could use at any time to refill your health). It's a great game as well, but maybe you'll appreciate it a bit less if you play it after the later releases... Or maybe the other ones will seem easier compared to it if you play them in order. It's your call.
One thing you gotta remember is that each Robot Master (boss) is weak against some other boss's weapon, so you should try each one out you have against each boss. Sometimes the weaknesses are straightforward (like how Ice Man is good againts Fire Man, or how Fire Man is good againts Bomb Man), but sometimes, mostly in later games, it becomes harder to guess (like how Skull Man is strong against Dive Man).
So what's the word on US pricing for the digital release? It's listed in the eShop as $29.99, but it seems odd that it would be double the price of the digital game on all other consoles.
Almost a year of waiting for a game that uses the 3D only in the galleries? it's a joke? not worth it, not for the price that sells ...
what a shame...
Capcom really fumbles the ball when it comes to megaman. Why the hell do we need another re-release with zero changes? It's 2016 - why is there still no HD remake of the original trilogy?
If I didn't already have all six titles on the 3DS Virtual Console, I'd consider picking this up.
Man, I wan to buy this collection, but in physical form. I was so happy to see great artwork on the cover, and it seems like EU will never get a boxed copy.
@Nekketsu3D Yeah, it's a shame. I still have all six NES games, and Mega Man Collection for GameCube, so without any layers of 3D added (like the 3D Classics would've been nice), it would just be stupid to get this.
