If you didn't get around to pre-ordering Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection before its release on the Switch earlier this year, you likely missed out on the special timed pre-order exclusive: Mega Man Zero/ZX Reploid Remixes DLC.
The good news is this downloadable content has now been made available for all owners of the game.
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.
With little signs of a new Mega Man game coming, the various legacy collections keep the blue bomber relevant until a new game is announced.
