Mega Man Legacy Collection Standard Edition - PlayStation 4 [Digital]

Awesome Collection, brings back memories sitting in front an old tv and playing these on my NES. The game looks and plays great and I love all the extras.

Excited to play this game on the PS4! Amazing graphics, great side scrolling game! Brings back several childhood memories

Nothing was going to stop me from buying this the day it came out. I grew up on this series and loved it every second of these games, except when I couldn't get passed a particular boss. But that's what Game Genie was for, right? Haha.

I've played through Mega Man 2 through 4 back in the NES days. The others, I never go the chance to play. It's been years since I last played any Mega Man game. Right off the bat, I started on Mega Man 2 and Quickman stage. I felt confident that I could get by the laser beams without the use of Flash Time. After a couple of tries, I managed to get through. However, when I faced Quickman himself, I got wrecked. Years of rust showed and made me realize just how cocky I was trying to take on Quickman on the first try. In my quick play-through, I found myself enjoying the game despite its years old graphics and game mechanics. Still, it's a welcome change from all the other games I've played as of late. Something old, something refreshing, something nostalgic. The use of passwords in Mega Man 2 gives it the more authentic feel in today's age of quick saves. Sure, I could have looked up the password on the internet and be done with it. But where's the fun in that? Seeing my Mega Man skills have rusted and dulled over the many years, it looks like I have to go back to basics and work on the foundation. And with the different feel now because of the PS4 controller, it'll take numerous tries until I get the handling down.

The Mega Man Legacy Collection consists of Mega Man 1-6. The transition from NES to PS4 makes the games look crisp. There is also a remix mode that mixes in elements from various stages and tasks the player with completing a speed run of them. The biggest problem is that it is an incomplete collection. In 2004, there was a Mega Man Anniversary Collection for the GameCube and PS2 (later released on the Xbox in 2005), and that compilation had Mega Man 1-8 plus two bonus games, remixed music, and other additional content. By comparison, this package is lacking. This is a good way to play Mega Man 1-6, but if you still have a PS2 or an Xbox, get the Anniversary Collection instead.
