The legacy collections out aren't even the best ways to play many of the other Mega Man games, you're better off getting the Xbox or PS2 collection, or getting X7 and X8 on the PS2.
Legends/Tron Bonne with right stick cam control please. I'd pay a premium to play this way. I tried loading up legends and centering the cam with a button is archaic. I can't do it
Centering the cam? You're supposed to use the shoulder buttons while you're moving to control the camera effectively, cam center button or the lock-on are supposed to be situational. Makes the games a lot easier to play.
You know how BN6 is the most polished BN game but is not necessarily.
Not sure about when 4-6 look much worse than 1-3 when they intentionally downgraded the graphic style. Even Star Force uses the same style as 4-6 it's just cleaned up. imagine BN2 or BN3 with uncompressed graphics on a DS.
I personally am most curious about Star Force but it does seem to be the worst in terms of critical reception of all the Mega Man subseries. I wonder if that's due to its actual quality, the comparisons to Battle Network, or if the franchise burnout was just at its tipping point by then and nothing would have been good enough with the oversaturation.
Battle Network is the most popular Mega Man in japan and Star Force was a follow-up. Elsewhere the BN series had a short popularity boom that peaked with BN3 and crashed with BN4 and never came back, this even applies to the anime the entire series fell apart at the same time outside japan.
It's why the Star Force BN crossover game wasn't released in the west.
All in all for Legends you've got: PS1 discs (+N64 for Legends 1), PSN versions on PS3 (can be played on Vita I guess) or JP exclusive PSP ports for Legends 1 and 2 (No Tron Bonne). There are also obscure old PC ports for 1 and 2. Otherwise you gotta go illegal.
The PC port of 2 is only released in Asia iirc.
I'm sure Legends Legacy Collection is coming. The reason it's taking so long is they need to touch up way more than just the graphics (at least in the first game.)
And well, there's the whole issue with Teisel's VA.
I doubt it's coming, I also don't know why people think they are going to touch up the games, they didn't with the collections so far. Did the original Mega Man legacy collection 1 and 2 even have the PS versions of the NES games?
the Battle Network collections seem to be emulated GBA games, they don't have the DS version of 5, they didn't do anything with the graphics, they didn't work to try and get Network transmission ported, no WS games, no 4.5, and no BCC. We also don't have the Star force crossover either.
Nothing was done with the X collection titles, other than issues due to the emulation or lag. Problems with sound too.
We haven't seen anything to indicate Capcom is putting anything but the bare minimum into these collections. Honestly, I think the fans have gotten used to it that they don't care anymore that these collections are sub par, they could have fit many of these games all on one disc instead of charging for separate collections in parts. They could have fixed the res and remastered the games but didn't.
Since the original 2 Legacy collections, the BN was has to be the laziest or second laziest so far imo. Not just the missing games but nothing was done to the games, no enhancements. Don't get me wrong, it gives a new way to play the games but we are talking about untouched GBA games from 2000-2005.
Yeah, I think everything outside of X1-3 were ports instead of emulation.
Makes sense, they were all based off the SNES version, they didn't even have an option for the PS1 version of X3 in the collection yet they could have emulated that, strange decision.
