Mega Man Legacy Collection Gets a Budget Price as a Download-Only Release in Europe

I hope you guys across the pond can get that gold Mega Man Amiibo. I bought two mega man games for my 3DS, but I'm thinking about getting this collection. I have not fully decided yet though.

Was going to pick this up...but if its download only, then no sale

That's a bummer, I much prefer a physical release. Still, it's gonna be a lot cheaper than tracking down all the original carts.

Disappointing as I like to go physical when I can, and it was an extra thing to differentiate this from the previous virtual console releases.
Glad however at its pricing. I'll still be picking this up as six Megaman games on the go can't be a bad thing.

Hey at least you guys got Fatal Frame physical. I'd rather have that over Mega Man anywho.

@efaulk84 We could always get it from scalpers, amirite?

@Spin I'd have to agree with you there. I'd rather have the Fatal Frame! Still waiting for a surprise Physical Release lol

Basically a kick in the teeth to Europeans. It's better than not getting the game at all, but seems very unfair that it's getting a US release with a special Gold Mega Man amiiibo.

I know some people will say 'But look at all the great stuff you guys in Europe get, like the physical release of Project Zero: Maiden Of Black Water for instance', but it still hurts

I would also prefer a physical copy. But if the download version means half of the price from a physical, makes the download offer pretty nice. Having the 6 original nes titles on the go for 15 euros are worth it

Sigh

Well, guess I'll be waiting for an eShop sale then, unless you wanna off a £2 discount for each MM NES VC for those who already download the VC games already...

@ToxieDogg Uhm...we already have all these games...on VC...
The only "new" content are some concept art scans.

The gold amiibo though...thats a different story

That sounds like a more reasonable price for games that already are available on the Virtual Console with little extra added.

If i remember correctly i picked some of these up for £2.24 each in a sale some time ago works out at £13.44 for all six so same price really.

Hopefully Europeans can still get the gold Mega Man Amiibo in some way.

I would have bought a physical edition, but I'm not buying it now since it's digital only. I'm starting to get really fed up of some things only being released in certain regions. I'd really want that Gold Mega Man amiibo, but that appears to be yet another amiibo that won't reach Europe.

I preordered the Collector's Edition. That gold amiibo looks fantastic, besides I'm a die-hard Megaman fan. I still hope for Legends 3 someday...

Classic 3d Megaman? Not so? Not buying!

That's a good price for six games you would normally pay double the price for.

How does the content of the 3DS version compare to the console versions?

Nice, I'll sure get it.

Wow, I'm in NA and I was waiting to get this on 3ds instead of my ps4 because of the extra challenges, but I didn't realize it would be twice the price. Also, I planned on buying digital anyway. Looks like Sony gets my $$ this time.

Will this be on Wii U?

Great plan Capcom. You just lost a few thousand sales in PALland.

As long as I don't need a f!&*%$g amiibo to get that extra content, I'm in. Otherwise Ninty can SMD.

@Tender_Cutlet I doubt it. I think PALland prefers cheap games to having a box.

Goodbye Capcom.

They're not going to go bankrupt over releasing six NES games as a download instead of physical. Its not for me as I already own the six on Wii U VC.

Well...this sucks. Are we even going to get the gold Mega Man Amiibo? I do NOT want to wake up at 5am to get one because it's exclusive to a store that doesn't offer preorders.

Aww man bummer I wanted this collection and that gold megaman Amiibo asap, looks like it could flop in sales in Europe now.

I already have four of the six NES games on the 3DS VC. Unless they reduce the price for owning those or have a decent sale It's still a no-buy for me.

Thanks, Capcom. Thanks for half-baking the deal. Well, no difference for me, though.

@Einherjar Well, and then there's the NES Remix-style challenges, but I don't see that as an incentive to get it, honestly.

What confused me about this package is that it has less games than the anniversary collection released in the USA. Why didn't they include 7 and 8 and possibly some newer ones like 9 and 10. It just seems like a bit of a missed opportunity.

It was a day one for me physical now I don't know. I could have gotten it back in August on Steam for the same price but I wanted it for the 3ds. Now I don't know if I will even bother getting it at this stage.

I was going to buy this but now I've changed my mind. I already own all six games on NES and on the gamecube Mega Man Anniversary Collection, I want to support new Mega Man games being made but if I can't even get a physical version I'm not going to buy a bunch of games I already own.

I'll get it anyhow. Between DQ 7 & 8 and legacy collection I'll take mega man any day!

The only reason why I wanted to pick this collection was the game card. (+ the box cover is nice)
Well, it is just an addition on the list of games for wich I need to keep my console system not up-to-date. (along Digimon, Puyo²Tetris, Code Princess, SMT4, Shantae "3DS" and the next Sega Classics compilation)

Knowing that Capcom typically has a sale on the eShop that includes some of its latest games, I could wait for one of those sales, or I could buy Mega Man 5&6 on VC and be done with it. The artwork and challenges mean absolutely nothing to me, and these games won't look any better in the collection. All that, plus Capcom might pull the VC games from the eShop, like Sega did with Sonic 1&2.

Budget price? Yes please.

I mean, gold mega man is no different from normal mega man, except a lazier paint job... just buy an extra blue mega man and paint him gold colored..

@Kaze_Memaryu The "challenges" are just rooms taken from a certain game arranged differently.
NES Remix actually tempered with the games themseves. Here, no weapon restrictions, no new enemy placement, no physics gimmicks (water, gravity etc) no nothing.
Its just the same old levels in a different order and thats it.
There is no new content to be found, and that is what psses me the most of.
It would have been so easy to do: "Hey, try MM3 bosses with MM4 weapons" or "What would GutsMans stage be with water physics ?"

Releasing this on a platform that already has these games, and not even physical is just one big middle finger.

I'm assuming no 3D?

Not intending to get either but first Gold Mario and now Gold Megaman? What exactly does NoE have against gold? Or people who want to complete the full set?

I mean I guess you could say "at least we don't have retail exclusives" and I am very grateful for that. But I'd even take this as a GAME exclusive over not at all. I know I've no intention of buying it but the option should be there at least :/

Well, you guys DID get Fatal Frame V as a physical release AND a Collector's Edition.

Tell you what, I have the CE edition for this reserved. I'll trade it for anyone who has a complete CE of Fatal Frame V - opened or not, it just has to be complete.

@ga3tr0n Well there are exclusive challenges to the Mega Man amiibo but both the blue and gold amiibo figures function exactly the same so not really an issue.

@Einherjar Ah, wasn't aware of that. What a shame. What a sham.

So… no physical release PLUS no gold amiibo release?

No sale. No freakin' sale.

@Kaze_Memaryu Saw it on a twitch stream (Flashman85) and was...lets say disappointed. Because i also expected something like NES Remix.

No, we got challenges like "MM1 Remix": Play one part of a stage untill the screen would shift. Instead, there is a portal transporting you to a different room from the same game.
It isnt even like the infinite stages from 9/10 and the fangames. Challanges arent random and even enemy placement is the exact same.
The challenge mode is an absolute joke.

I understand that they cancelled that cheaper physical version to sell digital version half price (which is pretty much same price as XO/PS4 version) in europe but that limited amiibo version is something we will miss.

Hint: Better not play those remix stages with bright screen in dark room. Those flashing white screens hurt eyes in long run.

@allav866 I heard about the Sonic games being pulled but oddly enough I was checking the VC just the other day and they are still on there.

@Grumblevolcano So how do I download the amiibos for free? Oh wait...

Well they pulled Hokie pokie with the Old Pokemon games why not do it here also. Prediction.....these will also sell like hot cakes just not from me

13.49 seems a good price for this, if only hadn't already bought 3 of them already on the VC.

I wonder how the emulation will compare to the VC, I find NES games on the 3DS XL to look a little blurred, they look strange in motion too, anyone else noticed this?

My 3DS was close to fly around the room when i read the news. Disappointment at its best for me in France. Too bad, will not buy it (thanks also again to that stupid region lock policy). Those days, i am buying more Vita games because i can import US physical versions...

I have all 6 games on VC, but has it been confirmed whether you can change keybindings? 3-6 are almost unplayable due to the cruddy button choices on the VC so I would buy if I could switch them around.

Wow, if it's that cheap, I may pick it up

WOuld have downloaded anyway, but would rather have seen the mega man x collection being released on Wii U before this..... AGAIN

Gamecube version is a very superior option.

Nobody bothers playing retro games on their Gamecube now.

@DarkEdi I have the Gamecube version too so I won't be buying.

for my 3ds I definitely prefer downloads because carrying cartridges around is a pain. The price is right for this, although a bit puzzled by challenge mode....the original games are challenging enough as it is!

What a great collection of games, and a nice love letter to MM fans - way to go, Capcom. It's too bad that Nintendo is so determined to give its fans the middle finger these days. Very sad how unbelievably low they've sunk.

@DarkEdi They didn't release the Gamecube version in Europe at all, and it's region locked so I've never been able to play it

Capcom seems to hate Mega Man fans outside the US

@WaveGhoul Yeah, the Gamecube version was a bit awkward to control. PS2 controller has a better D-pad than the Gamecube too. I did love how you could use Y as an auto-fire button.

@ToxieDogg I got the US version but have to use my Action Replay disk as it includes Freeloader which lets you play import games - those were the great days when region locking wasn't used.

I won't get this as a physical copy specifically because it's only worth it to me at the budget digital price. I really hope that in NA we aren't limited to only the physical offering, but I'm probably being paranoid.
