Mega Man Legacy Collection 2

Not having Mega Man & Bass is a glaring omission, but other than that it pretty much works just as well as the first collection, with less games. It's definitely worth getting for 9 and 10 alone though since they were once WiiWare exclusives prior to this. (It even includes the little DLCs they got)

This is the Mega Man release covering all the games after the NES era. One odd thing about this collection is the lack of the convenient rewind feature from Mega Man Legacy 1, which feels confusing. Maybe it’s because they had to deal with multiple engines, so they settled for a checkpoint save system instead. It works fine, and since the later games aren’t as punishing as the first six, it’s a decent enough alternative.
As for the games themselves, I think Mega Man 7 through 10 are pretty underrated overall.
Mega Man 7 has great aesthetic and level design, which I really like. The only thing that annoys me is the final boss relying heavily on RNG—it’s frustrating.
Mega Man 8 is infamous for its hilariously bad voice acting, but it’s still a fun game. It’s on the easier side, though. And a LOT of "Jump, Jump" "Slide, Slide".
Mega Man 9 and 10 came out when retro-style gaming was booming, and for the most part, they’re solid experiences. However, taking away Mega Man’s charged shot and slide was a strange choice. Luckily, Protoman and Bass are fully playable using an in-game code without needing DLC, which adds some much-needed variety.
If you want to play the classic Mega Man series but still want accessible features like buyable health tanks, I’d recommend Legacy Collection 2. That said, if you’re new to the series, make sure to try Mega Man Legacy 1 first before jumping into this one.

A solid collection of ports for Mega Man 7-10. Also includes the DLC from the final two games, which is appreciated. One little nitpick I have is that I wish they had included the Sega Saturn version of Mega Man 8, as that port included two new bosses in the form of Cut Man and Wood Man. Included also was an artbook on the menu and a revamped soundtrack throughout that sounds better than the original in many cases. Other than that, It controls well, looks good with filters and has many extra challenges after the base games. 9/10.

Pretty good ports of awesome games. I appreciate that instead of a rewind system they just have "Load previous checkpoint". Really lets you get better at the game and take more time to appreciate it instead of rewinding every mistake. MM9 has one of the best soundtracks of any game I've ever played.

8.7/10

Good collection of games, best format 9 and 10 have been released by including all the extra DLC alongside with new extra challenges (though they didn't bother re-implementing 10's unused co-op mode which is a shame). But this a mixed review from me because they decided to completely ditch 4:3 aspect ratio support. Only get this if you want to justify replaying them through custom challenges and achievements.

What can be said of the second half of classic Mega Man games that hasn't already been mentioned?
These are some of the most polished and brutally fun games in Capcom's library. The punishing difficulty is a fantastic reminder of yesteryear - with white-knuckle, frantic gameplay that always kept us coming back for more when we were kids. I would grant that a lot of my enjoyment of MM Legacy Collection 2 comes from the nostalgia I feel about this series, yet it contains two games that were released fairly recently (when considering the originals began in 1987.)
Maybe this is just a nod to the incredibly fun "rock-paper-scissors" system and tight level design that has seen Mega Man endure for almost four decades. Capcom certainly had a winning formula on their hands and they have proven time and again, if it ain't broke, don't fix it when it comes to the Blue Bomber!
Having gone through these games numerous times (especially 7 and 8), back when they released, and being beaten to a bloody pulp over and over again (in a good way), it is incredibly nice to have all of the quality of life improvements added to this collection. Although some might argue that it destroys the true Mega Man feel, having save-points and a bit of extra armor just makes these games even more enjoyable for old-school gamers like me - and could win over new fans who would otherwise be turned off by the classic difficulty.
Anyway, if you haven't already guessed, I highly recommend this collection. The games presented here are timeless. It's a no-brainer for MM fans, but I still recommend it to newer fans as well. Certainly worth its asking price.

I enjoy this classic title very much! Mega Man 8 was always my favorite from the series, grew up playing it the most as a kid. Highly recommend this game if your into old school, classic gaming!
