Love the video, but one bit should be addressed: the PS2/GC collection (while featuring proper aspect ratios and save functionality) did not contain the most accurate representations of the original games. It had it's own slew of changes (ex: the sound quality of the first two X games), though whether or not they are more offensive than the laundry list of problems this Legacy collection features is up to you.

X2 is my favorite game in the series so I appreciate that it is more accurate in this collection. 20 bucks for 4 games, the fun X challenge mode and hunter medals giving you mini objectives to accomplish all make it worth the price imho. If you like Volume 1 you can also buy volume 2 later, which is a cool thing as well since the latter games' quality has a habit of splitting the fanbase.

I'm glad that the collections exist though because of the new tracks, HD artwork and so on. Maybe there's a chance of X9 happening because of the XLC, who knows.

Even though I could never get MMXLC to run, I did look into the folders as I was triyng to fix my issue ( _before asking for a refund_ ) and I found a movie folder that contained all the cutscenes in the games. The most aggravating part is that the Japanese X4 opening is just the American X4 opening ( _Thus removing the amazing opening of Makenai Ai Ga Kitto Aru_ ). So I suspect they were simply just, too cheap. However theoretically, you could download the Japanese versions and just replace them in that folder and _technically_ it should work. Since MMXLC never worked for me, I couldn't test this thesis but I did see a steam thread of others doing it.

To me it's on the level of renaming them after your kids; Duff McBrad, Dark Jenny! It's kind of a bold thing to do to something your adapting to another language. And we already had an established naming convention: Element / Animal. Simple, but I liked that about it. It'd be like if the upcoming Mega Man 11 had Blaster Buckaroo, Big Bricker and The Voltage, people would probably be a touch irritated.

Heck, it would’ve been better if they re organized the games to where X1-3 and Xtreme 1 made up for Legacy Collection 1, Xtreme 2 and X4 - X6 made up Legacy Collection 2, and the rest of the games making up Legacy Collection 3. I would’ve preferred them all being in one disc/cartridge but it would’ve at least made the whole thing feel more complete.

I mean come on the two arcade games I just mentioned where in the Anniversary Collection so I found it odd that they weren’t in any of the Legacy games as a neat call back. If I could put these games in the Legacy Collections I would put all the GB games in the first one then the rest in the second one. If I could put the four games mentioned into the X Legacy Collections then I would put Maverick Hunter X and the Xtreme games into the first collection. Then I would put X4 and Command Mission into the second one.

I've been trying to fix it on my computer. I downloaded a custom config file, I tried making my own config file, I tried installing it on a different harddrive - I even tried the weird fix of unplugging your monitor while booting the game up and nothing worked. After hours upon hours of trying to get the damn &(#"=&( game to work, I just refunded it. This is yet again, a time where Capcom has just utterly disappointed me on a fundamental level. And that Capcom's customer service have basically given people a big middle finger to their issues, just blatantly trying to snuff it out by claiming their speccs are too low, is just downright fucking insulting. Capcom wants to get back on the Mega Man fans good graces, and by fucking god I have let them do this with Mega Man Legacy Collection 1 & 2, but they just decided to drop the ball now. First with the extremely disappointing and lackluster Street Fighter Collection and now with the Mega Man X Legacy Collection *THAT WON'T EVEN START* . Seriously. In between getting disliking but awaiting Mega Man Universe, eagerly awaiting Rockman Online, to finding Mega Man Legends 3 interesting, only to have them all cancelled, followed by them flipping the finger by giving people " _Bad Art Mega Man_ " in Street Fighter x Capcom, and then trying to get back on our good graces only to to just not GIVE a damn?! Some would accurately say that I care too much about this. But this really really disappointed me.
The problem with X8 for me, and X5 too, is that on the PC release of this collection, they didn't use the PC versions of those games, so megaman X8 has an menu issue of strong pixels on the menu that looks like someone got the game in 300x300 and scaled up to 1080p and let it there. It's horrendous. Also, Megaman X8 from pc had the option to chose the language for audio, and the original opening in Japanese from this game is amazing, so yeah, they're emulating every single Megaman as fas as I can see, including Megaman X8 which have the same start screen as the PS2 not the PC version.

That isn't exactly the point I was making. Sure, it is easy to adapt to some changes, but muscle memory is not really that easy to change, especially on games that were played for hundreds of hours and the memorization that occurred as well. There is a groove to gaming, especially classic gaming that has long been established. You mess with the groove too much and it will not sit well with many fans of the game that played it as children. To compound the muscle memory example, learn how to play an A minor, C, G and D chord on guitar. A standard progression that is used all over in music. Play that for hundreds of hours. Now learn how to play the C major add 9 chord. Then, instead of playing the C chord with that progression, you play the C major add 9 chord instead. I guarantee that for the first hour or so, you will consistently mess up. Especially if you are a beginner to guitar. The reason for this is that your muscle memory is trained to play exactly what you did for hundreds of hours and you will have to actively work to break that muscle memory to add a new muscle memory to the mix to be able to switch between the two reliably. This is the same for playing games. It gets much more difficult to do if you did it for hundreds of hours as a kid and many more times growing up and going back to it on many different occasions.

I get that it's easier to make excuses than it is to improve your skills, but if you've played a game for hundreds of hours you're far past "beginner guitar" stage, and should have the neccessary skills built up to adapt your muscle memory, making each future experience with it even better.

I am 41 years old. Up till now, I've never played through a MegaMan game. When Mega Man X came to market, I had it for SNES, but to this day I can't remember if I beat it or not. Last October, I became attracted to the Mega Man collection and I ended up buying MEGA MAN LEGACY COLLECTION, MEGA MAN X LEGACY COLLECTION and then MEGA MAN 11. I took it upon myself to play through the games in order from Mega Man 1 - to - Mega Man 8. Then I played through MM11. Then I started playing through MMX. I just finished Mega Man X4. I'm preparing to start on X5. I must say: #1 We've basically been playing Mega Man 2 clones this entire time. They took Mega Man 2, added a dash button, wall climbing and collectibles and then called it MEGA MAN X. #2 The games get easier between 4 and 6. The Mega Man X games are in my opinion easier than Mega Man 3, but there are purposeful headaches implemented to ensure you'll be frustrated. Sub Tanks don't store energy between saves for example. You can't save special items like the Hadouken or Dragon Punch. You have to do death-defying leaps to get most items which you'll probably not be able to complete the game without. #3 Mega Man X4 I'd say is the fairest Mega Man game thus far. Like 5 and 6, you can beat most bosses with the default weapon. However, there are issues I have where hit detection is made ridiculously small such as Kaiser Sigma where aiming for his head - the stereotypical weak spot does NOTHING. OVERALL: I spent around $22 for Collection 1 and Collection X - add another $12 for Mega Man 11. MONEY WELL SPENT. I'm playing over 30 years worth of the best action platformer ever and I really appreciated the effort that went into it. I have a 34" curved Alienware monitor with a 4090 RTX GPU and my only disappointment is that the SD resolutions aren't HD like they are in Mega Man 11. Sound Quality is SUPERB - some of the best music I've ever heard. The games are frustratingly difficult often but they can be beaten if you keep working at them.

I played through X8, beginning to end, 12 TIMES to 100% the characters, purchase Layer, Ariya and Palette, and 100% the items. I pop in X6 from time to time to play the last level in Shadow Armor. The series is ADDICTIVE. I give the entire effort an A.

I haven't played any of the X games because so far, I really like the classic series. I am however considering the X games once I'm done with MMLC 1 & 2 as well as MM11. I'm glad you made a video talking about the collection so I'm aware what flaws exist, since I'm opting for the collections as my way of playing.

Gonna be honest with you. If you groove with the gameplay of X and the speed and relentless difficulty of the later games doesn't turn you off the classic series will never cut it again. You are going to suffer. No other games come close to the speed and intensity of X. Every 2d platformer will feel slow and gross. Even classic Mega Man. You will search for a game that delivers the same degree of rich movement and action and fail. The world of 2d platformers will became a barren desert. Your desires unfulfilled as you look for the next big thing but it never comes. Not even Mighty Number 9 could save us. The speedy jump and shoot genre is dead.

Finally someone else notices the audio issues in X4-6! I was starting to feel like I was the only one, as every other review I've seen just makes it sound like everything is fine. The X4 differences bother me slightly more than they should, particularly the fact that a couple voice clips from Magma Dragoon and Frost Walrus play at a higher pitch than all their other clips, sounding like they are on helium briefly. There is also the removal of the effect previously used on certain attacks and voices (like Sigma, Magma Dragoon, and Jet Stingray) that makes them sound less impressive now. X5 and X6 are particularly weird in that Zero's movement and attacks sound noticably worse than the originals (or the PS2/GC collection), while the other game sounds are mostly fine. It almost sounds like his sounds are running at a lower sample rate. X has some of the same issues, but I don't think it's quite as bad. (Though I haven't done much testing there) All these issues are present in both the Switch and Xbox One versions from what I've been able to test. I agree that it's probably not a big deal for newcomers, and I'm still enjoying the collections, but little things like this bug me when I've been playing games like X4 for 20 years.

What I’m trying to figure out is why certain sounds on the later games are muffled and have their pitches sped up like they’ve been compressed? Especially when you consider the Collection is 4GB at the minimum for the first one? The original 6 games were no bigger than maybe 300MB....

While I don't really understand all that aspect ratio and resolution talk, and probably would not notice it if I were to play this, it's nice to see someone who keeps track of it to know how much work was put into the collection. But I'd probably still seek other options to play these games, hah. I actually look forward to see if you look into MMX8 by the way. Have really fond memories of that game but I never revisited it for some reason. I guess the only thing I know for sure it's that it is a step up from the previous 3 games. Definitely the best thing included in Part 2.

I really really wish they had used the 32-bit version of X3 in XLC. That would've allowed for 3 save slots (while still being able to use passwords), easy implementation of audio swapping, less slowdown, button mappings that stay when you shut down the game, etc. From what I can tell, every game past X3 is using the PC release as the base, which is why they tend to run smoother, why the sound seems off at points, and most likely why rookie hunter mode saves you from pits in X4~X8 and not X1~X3. I'm sure they could've also found some way to take the rebuilds of X1 and X2 from the original X Collection and tidy them up for this. My only guess as to why they didn't use the PC version of X3 as a base is that they either just didn't want to bother with trying to put the original SNES sounds back in the game, or they just wanted all three of the SNES games to be the actual SNES games.

Well done port review; I'm guessing Capcom is trying to quickly curry favor from Mega Man fans after straight up ignoring the franchise for over a decade, since they seem to be in a bit of a scramble to just shove stuff out the door without much care. Doesn't bode well for X9 or the cartoon series.

It's still someone else's work, just using licensed by Capcom. The "control" capcom has won't involve strictly telling them what to do. If that were the case the plot of Battle Network wouldn't be different between the games, anime, and manga. Or that X would be some muscular dude in the Ruby Spears cartoon. Or the fact that the Canadian/American Darkstalkers cartoon exists.

Though I don’t own any Mega Man games, I’m really into the franchise. I love the characters and worlds that inhabit them (even if the storytelling is absolute garbage with the whole Sigma is the one behind everything). I seriously want to play both the classic and X series, but don’t have all the components for the original experience (CRT TV, a SNES, a working PS2 -all that jazz). I want to get the legacy collections for both series on Switch (when and if I get Christmas gifts). Is it worth it? If so, what should I get and in what order?

As someone who doesn’t care much about graphical details or a singular save slot for X1-3, I think both collections are solid enough. My only complaints are the slowdown of the SNES games (which could’ve been fixed), lack of a PS1 music option for X3, and the janky X Challenge mode

Something that just bothers me about these Capcom collections in general is that there’s no option to change up the sound mixing.
