  Is this Mega Man collection good? Sure thing, it’s comprised of a good chunk of why we fell in love with that blue fella back in the day. Is this the best Mega Man collection out there? I don’t think so. If all you have right now are modern consoles, this is the way to go (I’d still recommend it in other platforms, not the Switch), but if you have access to a PS2, an Xbox, or a Gamecube, just grab the Anniversary Collection instead. It features more games and some exclusive arcade bonuses not featured here.

  The rewind feature is a welcome inclusion that helps to mitigate the difficulty of some of the games, and the overall quality of the series difficult to dispute. We would highly recommend you pick this one up, all the included extra features coupled with the ability to play these games both at home and on the go make it a no-brainer.

  If you already have the Legacy Collection on 3DS and are happy with it, I don’t know how badly you need this Switch version. However, both volumes in addition to the upcoming Mega Man X collection, on a single console is awfully tempting prospect, right? It’s like the GameCube all over again.

  The Mega Man Legacy Collection is a great retrospective for long time fans, and the perfect introduction to the series for curious new fans. The price tag is a little heavy for only 6 NES games, especially when past Mega Man collections have had more games, but the importance of the games, and quality of the extra content, make this one handsome package.

  Still, classic collections like this are great on handheld consoles as they can easily be played when multitasking, in short spurts during lulls or for hours when stuck on a plane. Those who already own the release on consoles have no reason to double dip unless they want to play it on the go, but for those who prefer the portable experience, Mega Man Legacy Collection is a winner on 3DS.

  While I can compare the console versions of this collection to the 3DS one, I can say for certain it adds portability to the entire package. While the screen size may be an issue for some, it doesn’t stop this Capcom classic from being a pretty great package overall. The museum is a great distraction, and the challenges add a bit more to the play time.
