You can also play with the Pro Controller connected through USB, which should reduce the lag by like 3 milliseconds.

Just change your country/region here: https://accounts.nintendo.com/
Be aware it doesn't let you change now if you have funds in the account.
I don't have funds but I have the gold star things, does that matter?
I feel like there's a bit more lag on the Switch in portable mode than on the PS4. Has anyone done any testing or fiddled with settings to minimize input lag? Granted I might just be spoiled from playing an original NES with a CRT.
In my imprecise tests, I feel that the PS4 version is about +1 frame of lag compared to my Analogue NT, and that the Switch docked is another +1 or +2 frames on top of that. Handheld mode feels to be about the same as, but maybe a little slower than, the PS4.
Analogue NT > PS4 >= Switch Handheld > Switch Docked
Everything except for the handheld Switch are running through the same setup.
Thanks for posting. Kinda wish more games would do this sorta thing.
Should I grab 1 or 2? I'm only going to play one of the collections right now and the tipping point for me was seeing that there's a rewind feature now. I'll eventually get both though and I don't have any problem playing them out of order. Not sure I'll even finish every game either so I guess my next question is which games I should play out of the ten
Ohhh, I hope this works on PS4, I need to play those extra MM10 stages.
Only Collection 1 has the rewind feature. Collection 2 has checkpoints.
Games to definitely play: 2, 3, 9
Highly Recommended games: 4, (6), (8), 10
The rest: 1, 5, (7)
Games in parenthesis represent games I haven't played but my understanding of how "the community" views them.
Great OT.
I already got the first MM collection on a humble bundle sale on PS4. I might get the second on switch but I dont think I like classic MM very much. Tried to just right into MM3 (since I love it's OST the most) but I just dont like the way it feels much.
Guess I'm waiting for the X collection.

I started with the Zero/Legends series BTW.
Interestingly, I noticed a lot more input lag when playing Collection 1 than did with Collection 2. I was able to play every game in Collection 2 with little difficulty, but I was having a hard time playing Collection 1 at all when docked.
2 and 3 are probably series highlights so I'd always vote for Collection 1...
Just picked up the collection, started up MM2 and went to Metal Man stage and almost immediately I noticed a large amount of latency, as my habit of shooting along to the music isn't working on this version. I thought it could just be me but my 3DS virtual console version doesn't have this issue (and it certainly isn't an issue playing on my NES). Tried out all the different settings (and yes handheld vs TV as well) and MM 1&2 have noticeable latency. Wondered if Legacy collection 2 was the same and upon starting MM9 I noticed it has significantly less latency. I'm going to play some more but my initial impression is that the latency on collection 1 is nearly unplayable for me.
Edit: Maybe it's a physical vs. digital thing??

Mega Man 8 is such an odd game and yet after all these years it's still the one I gravitate to the most. I don't know what it is exactly, but I adore the hell out of it either way and I can't turn away. I was hoping to blast through 7 for the first time ever (never owned it, only rented), but here I am playing through 8 for what feels like the 100th time lol. I will get to 7 eventually... but now I'm getting the urge to play some Endless Mode in 9 or 10. Love having all this Mega Man to sift through.
Thanks! I'll be snagging collection 1 tonight then
That's one of the easiest MeganMans and I suck at these games lol
Did you get Collection 1 digitally or physically? I'm playing digitally and I have the noticeable input lag.
Wait...are there code redemption issues with the physical version in the US? I'm about to order this.
Edit - Now I'm reading about input lag?? ohhh boy. Gonna' need some more impressions before I bite.

I have the physical version of Collection 1, I wouldn't think that would affect it. I did a basic frame advance test using my phone camera and my result is ~7 frames of lag for C1 vs ~5 frames of lag for C2.
I've played Mega Man 2 a lot of ways on a lot of platforms including Virtual Console, NES Classic Mini, PS4, and an Analogue NT and there doesn't seem to be any kind of input lag that's effecting my gameplay. Maybe there is some, but it's nothing that's changing the way these games have felt to me before.
I am loving the rewind feature in C1, as it helps with learning enemy and boss patterns. Also, I finally beat MM1 for the first time ever :)
Noticed a bit in collection 2, a few times a jump didn't register and mega man walked into the abyss
Was that on a tv or the Switch screen?
It does seem laggier than 3DS, even handheld, but it's not anything game breaking for me.
Heh i havent noticed. I produly ranked #1 on the MM2 Challenge 1 Leaderboards this evening on docked mode with a pro controller. I didnt notice the lag. Im just not aware enough to notice i guess...
It was on my TV, I was gonna do some handheld tests but I got caught up playing lol. I'm starting to adapt to this version but it still feels off, I would say I'm more sensitive to latency like that than others it seems. IMO for most people it's probably fine.
I just steamrolled through Mega Man 2 without a problem docked. I've played these games a lot recently on all kinds of hardware and it felt completely fine to me.
It's not a bad cleaning cloth. It's thicker than most.
As far as the picture on it, it's somewhat cute except for the creepy way the villains are portrayed.
Yes.
Cool, I guess there is no risk to miss it as long as you get the first print of the game.
Memorize those jumps, it's always same. (Jump sideways to get over that high low combo.)
If you get hit you should be able to go trough it and to the other side. (May skip some jumps.)
The copy I got advertised the cloth on the package, so it tells you if it's there.
Great OT, OP. You gettin' paid for this? Lol. This sounds really dope. Can't tell how I feel about the MMLC2 being download only but if I get that awesome cloth with the first edition then my collector's intuition may just be satiated...
wtf is the cloth...
Does this apply to all the games included? If so I may just finally get into Mega Man.
This is Mega Man Legacy Collection, not Mega Man X. However, I recall reading that Day of Sigma will be included in one of the MMX Legacy Collections based on this: http://www.siliconera.com/2018/04/1...ficially-announced-releases-july-26-in-japan/.
Edit: you can see it in the trailer here around the 1:10 mark:
