Mega Man X Legacy Collection 1 + 2 - Nintendo Switch

I wish I grew up with the Mega Man series because these classic games are so much fun to play! My first exposure to playing Mega Man games was several years later and when I bought Mega Man 2 on Wii and later on Mega Man 7 and Mega Man X on Wii U. I enjoyed the games so much that I wanted to play more of them! When it was announced that the Mega Man Legacy 1+2 Collections were coming to the Nintendo Switch, I just had to buy them! Besides playing the classic Mega Man games, Capcom has created these fun challenges that you could do while re-playing some of the games. Examples like going through the stage within a time limit. Also, if you have the Smash Bros. 4 Mega Man amiibo and the Golden Mega Man amiibo, you can unlock new challenge modes in the game. Also, Capcom has added Save states and a rewind feature to each Mega Man game. If you mess up, you can rewind and retry a certain action again. Want to save at a certain place? You can add a save state to save your progress. I didn't experience any technical issues with the games. I've also provided a couple of photos showing off the case of the Legacy collections. Plus, it comes with a free cleaning cloth that has Mega Man and friends celebrating Mega Man's 30th Anniversary which is pretty neat. **The Half-Physical Half-Digital Release Controversy** There is a minor complaint that I have about the packaging of Mega Man Legacy 1+2 collections. The way Capcom handle the physical copies of the Legacy collections was an odd choice. I bought the physical copy of Legacy 1+2 because I prefer to buy physical games if possible. Capcom had Legacy 1 on a physical cartridge, while Legacy 2 was on a digital download code. I mean, what's the point of having a physical copy if you're only gonna have 1 physical while the other one's digital download? **Final Thoughts** Is getting the Mega Man Legacy 1+2 Collections worth playing and worth the price? I would say yes because you get all Mega Man games bundled together.

This game is wonderful. I CANNOT stop playing. This Game takes what I Loved about Megaman X and blew my mind. Not only does it show you rare demo drawings, licensed merch, and stuff probably never seen before, It has the "Day of Sigma" movie stuffed in as well. AND with the fun and very intuitive Dual Maverick Fight mode, its a fun new spin on a game franchise I love deeply. PLEASE, if you love Megaman, OR if you like a challenge, BUY THIS GAME.

And I love it too plus it keeps them from wrestling each other

I grew up with MegaMan X, and to a lesser extent MegaMan X4-6, so I have fond memories of these games. The MegaMan X series is loosely a continuation of MegaMan games, but none really have much of a story. You play as MegaMan X (or his red companion Zero from X4 on, or the newcomer Axl in X7-8) as he tries to put down out of control Reploids (replicate androids), each level is themed around their boss, and when you beat the boss you get a power inspired by them, which is usually strong against another boss. MegaMan X is an incredibly challenging game (but rewarding) with some great music. Don't expect much of a plot, and know that many believe the series got worse as it progressed (usually X4-X6 is said to be the downfall's beginning), but I personally enjoyed all the games enough.

This is a great collection of MegaMan X games. It plays very well in tablet mode; I haven't played connected to the TV yet, so I can't comment on how that works. I have heard mention of some minor input lag with this version, but I didn't notice any playing with it. One standout addition was the Novice Hunter mode, which is essentially an easy mode for the games. I found it helpful to play on this mode for about half an hour or so when I first started to get used to playing these games again, since I hadn't touched them for so long. It could also be fun if you have young children, so that they can play the same games you do without having a rough time with it. For adults, I would definitely recommend playing with a pro controller. I played in handheld for a bit, but the button layout was causing my hands to cramp up due to the small form factor of the joycons, so I ended up using the kickstand and playing with a pro controller instead. Finally, my major caveat: the cartridge in the box only includes X collection 1 (1-4). Collection 2 (5-8) is included as a download code. I have heard the PS4 version includes both games on a single blu-ray, and almost bought the collection on that platform because of it. I finally decided that off-TV play was more important than having a physical version of both, but it is worth noting that you don't actually get the whole collection in this box.
