Mega Man re-releases have dotted the video game landscape for decades. From PlayStation to iOS to Wii U and more, the Blue Bomber is always close at hand. But not since his debut on the original NES has he enjoyed the sort of reverence shown in the Mega Man Legacy Collection. This is not a simple rom dump rush job. Here, the games are the stars - meticulously preserved and adapted for modern hardware.
The Humble Capcom Heroic Collection Bundle just launched recently. It has ten items including Monster Hunter Rise, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy, Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection, and more.
I took advantage of the $1 deal for lost planet 3, strider, bionic commando and mega man. 3 of them run great on my steam deck. bionic commando sadly does not.
ive left humble bundle long time ago the pricimng is now off as well as game collection. humble monthly used to be excellent but thasts also downhill
With the recent release of the Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection, the next collection of games starring Capcom's Blue Bomber seems obvious.
Hey I would’ve loved an Onimusha collection. They do these to test interest, unfortunately. If nobody buys these, then they assume nobody will buy an entry that they spend a lot of money to develop.
You’re sad that you got an entire collection of their series in one package?
Weird reason to get disappointed
With the release of Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection this week, it joins an already-impressive catalogue of Mega Man re-releases from the past several years.
If you combine the titles from Mega Man Legacy Collection 1 & 2, Mega Man X Legacy Collection 1 & 2, and Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection, you've got a total of 24 classic games available to fans and newcomers. With the addition of the 10 Battle Network titles found in the latest release, this brings the running total up to a staggering 34 games. That's a heck of a lot of Mega Man!
It really feels like Capcom is looking to release as much of the Mega Man back catalogue as possible on modern consoles, possibly to preserve the series going forwards — at least in digital formats. There are still quite a few games from the series that remain untouched, however.
The Legends and Power Battles games should make the jump. Those were fun games. I remember playing the Power Battle games at a local mall before it randomly was removed. It had a bunch of Capcom games on it.
