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...

Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? (23rd March)
Perfect organism
Hurray, it's the weekend! Before we dive into what we're going to be playing, let's take a look at what's been going on this week. For starters, we reviewed Princess Peach: Showtime! for the Switch, and surprise surprise, it turned out to be much better than we were expecting. We also got some really cool tidbits of information...
News Capcom Launches Its Biggest 3DS Sale Ever (US)
The end is nigh
It's no secret that the 3DS — along with its console sibling Wii U — is heading toward that bright light at the end of the tunnel. With the handheld's eShop closing within the next year, it's natural that publishers will want to capitalise on this unfortunate eventuality with some rather sweet deals. It's a nice opportunity for...
News Mega Man Legacy Collection Might Be One Release on Switch
All in one place
Yesterday brought with it the fascinating news that the upcoming re-release of the Mega Man X series will likely be split between two separate collections, echoing the predecessor collection for the classic Mega Man series.

News Mega Man Legacy Devs Working On New Collection With Capcom
"I wish I could talk about it but it's really cool"
Digital Eclipse's Frank Cifaldi has revealed that his company is working on a new retro collection with Capcom. Cifaldi was director and producer on the superb Mega Man Legacy Collection, and while he can't talk about this new venture at the moment, he says an announcement could come "any day now"...
Video Take A Look At Some Awesome Limited Edition Mega Man Merchandise in Japan
Lots of Rockman goodness
In conjunction with the release of Rockman Classics Collection (Mega Man Legacy Collection in the West), Capcom started to release some items related to the game. I thought it'd be neat to collect some of these relatively rare items and share them with you. One of them is the "Rockman Classics Collection Fanbook", which...
News New Capcom Survey Points to Potential Future Plans for the Mega Man IP
Hang in there, Mega Man!
Ever since Keiji Inafune – the creator of Mega Man – left Capcom, the Mega Man series has more or less been put on ice. Though we technically got another entry in the classic series with the Capcom-approved fan game, Street Fighter X Mega Man, it still isn't much of a stretch to say that the series hasn't been at its...
News Mega Man Legacy Collection Busts Into Japanese Charts as Nintendo Hardware Sales Climb
Slow and steady
It's Media Create charts time for Japan once again, and this week brings some smaller new releases and some modest (but still welcome) gains for Nintendo hardware. The big winner this week is Kamen Rider: Battride War Genesis, which claimed top spot on PS4 along with 3rd and 4th on Vita and PS3. The retail release of Mega Man Legacy...

Oh the pixels!
Mega Man Legacy Collection came out on 3DS this week at a bargain price on the eShop (in Europe and North America) or priced at $29.99 in NA if you want a box, some stickers and free HOME themes. It's a rather appealing offering, overall, with six NES games, challenge stages and lots of galleries and goodies to enjoy. Though Capcom's...

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.
