![]() ![]() The new Mega Man X Legacy collections follow the same pattern, except they represent the more modern X series of games that kicked off in 1993 and ran through 2004: Mega Man X Legacy Collection 1 contains Mega Man X, X2, X3, and X4, while the Mega Man X Legacy Collection 2 contains Mega Man X5, X6, X7, and X8.Īs such, deciding between the two collections will likely come down to which Mega Man X era players are most familiar with: the first X collection offers up to the first two SNES and PlayStation era releases, while the second X collection covers up to the final two PlayStation 2 era releases. I previously reviewed both Mega Man Legacy collections, and both wound up being excellent ways to relive the Blue Bomber's early history, starting with the first 1987 Mega Man release and running all the way through the 2010 release of Mega Man 10. Seeing as how the Mega Man series just celebrated its 30th anniversary, the crew at Capcom have been busy creating polished, modern collections featuring all of the series' biggest hits. ![]() Like the Mega Man Legacy Collections that came before them, these new collections are hands-down the best way to experience the X series' greatest moments, plus they're rounded out with a challenging new boss gauntlet gameplay mode and a considerable assortment of added bonuses. Capcom knows this, and that's one of the reasons why they've blessed retro gaming fans with releases such as the Mega Man X Legacy Collections 1 and 2. It's kind of a shame, because some of gaming's best moments aren't found in last-generation titles, but instead in the retro releases that paved the way for modern gaming experiences. ![]() Re-releasing older video games in modern-era collections is something of a trend these days, but a lot of developers have been ignoring older releases in favor of touching up newer games with increased resolutions and higher-quality textures. ![]()
