KeeperofLindblum Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 (edited) BestBuy has an exclusive 3DS release that comes with a Gold Mega Man amiibo and some extra goodies. Looks like a pretty good deal...http://www.bestbuy.com/site/mega-man-legacy-collection-collectors-edition-nintendo-3ds/4738600.p?id=bb4738600&skuId=4738600 Edited November 20, 2015 by KeeperofLindblum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leods Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 depends a lot on what you consider a good deal... http://www.amazon.com/Mega-Man-Anniversary-Collection-PlayStation-2/dp/B00019HNNC/ref=sr_1_23?ie=UTF8&qid=1448003357&sr=8-23&keywords=megaman&pebp=1448003368681&perid=1P8NJVHD6GZ74PBGXK7J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenegg Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Physical editions next year: http://www.capcom-unity.com/brelston/blog/2015/08/05/mega-man-legacy-collection-release-date-revealed-2016-physical-versions-confirmed Not in Europe though............ A physical release makes me VERY happy! I'm still puzzled by the lack of a Wii U release though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariboy Posted November 25, 2015 Author Share Posted November 25, 2015 I think that you can primarily thank the Virtual Console (even more so than the system's small install base) for the lack of Mega Man Legacy Collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenegg Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 If the Virtual Console was to blame, it would t be coming out for the 3DS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariboy Posted November 27, 2015 Author Share Posted November 27, 2015 (edited) There goes that theory. In a last ditch attempt to stick by it and defend it, 55 million units sold versus 10 million is a much more lucrative market. They may have simply decided that the number of people not satisfied with the existing Virtual Console downloads just isn't substantial enough to bother going after on the Wii U. And a final but distant possibility are contracts. Capcom may have more control on the 3DS with their properties that they've previously submitted to Nintendo for Virtual Console consideration on the 3DS than they do over on the Wii U, a system likely covered with a different agreement. It could still be the reason behind this, although the 3DS and the availability of the first five Mega Mans off the 3DS eShop rather blows a hole in my speculation.

Bixler Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Well I was going to pick this up for 3DS, but after watching the review posted on the previous page and reading these comments, I guess I should just grab the Anniversary Collection for the PS2 for half the price?

If you have a CRT to play it on, then yeah (unless you don't mind the blurry visuals on a modern set). It's a lot more content for a lower price.

Atariboy Posted February 28, 2017 Author Share Posted February 28, 2017 (edited) Sounds like Capcom and Digital Eclipse are working on another collection, details set to be revealed soon. http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2017/02/mega_man_legacy_devs_working_on_new_collection_with_capcom Edited February 28, 2017 by Atariboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boog Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Excellent! A physical release with Mega Man 7-10 and Powered Up would be wonderful... Mega Man X Legacy Collection would be great too. Just hoping it isn't a download-only DLC based retro cash grab like Capcom Arcade Cabinet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Link is down, used google to get the meat of it. I really hope it's not some wasted opportunity to shove out MMX junk. I'd really love to see them dust off a real gem of variety we got back on PSP when they did 2 arcade collections. Imagine them pumping out a lot of those old 80s early 90s arcade titles in bundles and throwing that on everything once more (Switch instead of 3DS, PS4, One, PC-Steam) that would be excellent.

Atariboy Posted April 29, 2017 Author Share Posted April 29, 2017 Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 with Mega Man 7-10 appears to be on the way. http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2017/04/mega_man_legacy_collection_2_outed_by_korean_rating_nintendo_release_uncertain Hopefully it includes a retail release, which I don't think Mega Man 9 and 10 have ever had.

Tanooki Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 9/10 were rental only, never on a real piece of media. That also doesn't mean this one will be either despite the first. That Disney package was all NES games and it was digital, and insultingly so not released on any Nintendo format for some inexplicable reason they won't tell people about. It kind of makes me think it won't happen again as patterns tend to cycle and form when it comes to Capcom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariboy Posted April 30, 2017 Author Share Posted April 30, 2017 (edited) I wouldn't give up on Capcom just yet. They've been a pretty decent Nintendo supporter in the 2000's and much of it probably wasn't rewarded in the numbers they deserved. So I wouldn't blame them for being a bit cautious here. Hopefully with the excellent launch and momentum that Nintendo has, they'll start giving it further consideration. Not to mention that they're Japanese based and handheld gaming is huge there. With the 3DS slowly fading and the Vita in its death throes with no hope of replacement, the Switch is the natural place to focus on for the future where their Japanese offerings are concerned. Especially if Ultra Street Fighter II does well in May, I bet they'll ramp up their support. Maybe we'll even benefit in some way from their cautious approach, such as getting a complete Mega Man 1-10 collection at retail after the first part sadly skipped the Wii U and the latter seems to be not slated for a Nintendo release of any sort initially.

Tanooki Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Nah they weren't that decent, at least not on the console side, Resident Evil withstanding though on GC+Wii. They have continually thrown Nintendo under the console bus from the N64 forward in a wash rinse repeat pattern that's stunning few catch onto and get pissed about being so forgiving. You get promises, you get previews, then you get a game or two, and then betrayal and abandonment with excuses. N64 ended up with stonewalling other than basically a wicked RE2 conversion and Mega Man Legends(64.) The GC had the promised Capcom 5 deal post-RE Dreamcast updates. That turned into the Capcom 1.5 with PN03 and RE4 which they waited until 2 weeks before it arrived to tell Sony freakout owners they'd get the definitive version with Ada Wong and other extras when the contract expires a year out...then canceled the other titles like pigs despite the huge RE4 sales. Wii you got rail games mostly and a RE port of 4 plus that odd Zack and Wiki title but otherwise blew it off too. Capcom is not to be trusted with their consoles due to history. Handhelds though they've been very well and friendly to Nintendo going back to the beginning of Gameboy. So to me, depending how they view the Switch as one or the other will dictate their sincerity and interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariboy Posted June 6, 2017 Author Share Posted June 6, 2017 (edited) Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 has officially been announced. Edited June 6, 2017 by Atariboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 (edited) There would be no Mega Man legacy to collect without Nintendo. Crapcom being Crapcom. They've done this consistently to Nintendo owners saying one thing, doing another as far back as 20 years ago on the N64. Sadly and still annoyingly it should be NO surprise. They wonder why people don't buy their stuff on Nintendo platforms? Because they don't properly if at all support them on Nintendo platforms, that's why. Afraid of competing against the one hardware maker who excels at first party goods? Cowards perhaps? So afraid of releasing 20-30 year old games that much? Is your budget so scary thin it can't be afforded to the Nintendo crowd? I'm not going to get all butthurt and cry that I'll warez your games and pirate the crap out of it, as it's not worth the effort to do it. There's plenty of games from dozens of other developers, 100s looking back at the dead, so you're basically a relic that needs to just fall to the pages of history if you can't deliver anymore like you once did long ago.

Tanooki Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 True enough a retail release. I still find it vile they're not releasing it on Switch. 3DS I can understand as I imagine perhaps New3DS aside it can't hack running Mega Man 8 which is a PS/Saturn title. The rest though shouldn't be a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boog Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Hopefully 9 & 10 will include all of the DLC on disc. The trailer mentions that you can play as Bass in MM10, who was a paid DLC character. There were also extra stages/modes as DLC add-ons... since they're only offering four games this time I hope they'll at least be 'complete' versions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeeperofLindblum Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 I believe I read somewhere that both Mega Man 9 and Mega Man 10 were supposed to include all the DLC. While this may be an underwhelming collection, it's still not bad for only $20 physical copy~I'll probably pick it up to put next to my physical version of the first one~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelboy Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 They not releasing this on the Switch...? Seriously...? Unbelievable... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 No they're apparently not, and yes it is. 3DS I'd understand as it did have those slowness issues in places, but Switch there's zero excuse other than Capcom playing favorites yet again on another generation of nintendo hardware. I kind of feel bad buying USF2 now. If I knew they were going to pull these antics again I'd have just banned them from my shelf from the beginning.

Atariboy Posted June 8, 2017 Author Share Posted June 8, 2017 (edited) After the Wii U, I really don't blame publishers for being cautious. At least Capcom has been testing the waters, which is more than can be said for most. If this is the success that it looks set to be, I bet Capcom will be ramping up support soon. And one good thing with these compilations is that when it happens, we're not talking about major AAA releases that will be yesterday's news. There's no reason Capcom won't be able to succeed with belated releases of these collections, and we might even get superior versions like the Mega Man Collection that we should've got on day 1 with all 10 games. So I suspect this situation will be rectified by this time a year from now. The thing I can't agree with is why the still successful 3DS isn't getting these two most recent collections. After Mega Man Legacy Collection 1 made it there, that decision is a much harder one to defend, especially with no next-gen Nintendo version on store shelves.
