Mega Man Legacy Collection 2
The Blue Bomber is back in this second collection of classic Capcom titles! Featuring faithful reproductions of Mega Man 7, 8, 9, & 10, this collection spans the iconic series' evolution and retro revolution. Take on the nefarious Dr. Wily and his diverse Robot Masters in these timeless 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit adventures! Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 is bursting with additional content, from time trials and remix challenges with online leaderboards, to a music player and an extensive gallery of rare illustrations. Also included are the additional modes originally released as DLC for Mega Man 9 and 10, featuring extra stages and playable characters. For anyone who wants a little extra help with these challenging classic platformers, you now have the option to reduce the amount of damage received.

You probably shouldn't play this game with an expensive controller or keyboard, or around any valuable objects, unless you have a good home insurance policy.

Of note: my playtime on Steam is very low because I played each of these games on their original platforms before, and only skimmed them in this collection.
Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 is a lazy and sub-par emulation collection with a whole host of huge issues that make it difficult to recommend, such as:
The game is in 1080p with no resolution options, so there will be some scaling annoyances for anyone on 720p, 1440p, or 4K.
Capcom implemented Steam DRM incorrectly here, causing the game to require an internet connection at all times.
Mega Man 7, 9, and 10 are presented in incorrect aspect ratios with no option to correct them.
Mega Man 7 and 8 have noticeable input lag as a result of being emulated.
The version of Mega Man 8 in this collection is the inferior PlayStation version rather than the feature-complete Saturn version.
Mega Man 10's aspect ratio is particularly incorrect because the pixels are not even perfectly square, resulting in noticeable shimmering.
Thankfully, there is a Helix Mod that gives the player options to improve and correct the inexcusable scaling issues in the base game. Without that, I would say there is absolutely no reason to purchase this collection rather than emulating the games separately. With the mod, there are still major issues, but I think having native Mega Man 9 and 10 ports on PC is worth getting the collection, at least in a deep sale like I did.

Where I grew up, there was no way to buy original games, even though Megaman was a big part of my childhoold, I couldn't support Capcom by buying original catridge.
Now they have released this collection, I can finally support my favorite childhood video game.
Thanks Capcom, for the awesome memories.

Mega Man 9 & 10 are the best "Classic Mega Man" games.

MegaMan 7 and MegaMan 8 were the top two titles that stood out for me when I rented them constantly at the video store (For those of you old enough to remember to remember) They still hold up well today! Then I got my XBOX 360 in my late 20s and played Megaman 9. I was impressed. And then I downloaded Mega Man 10 on XBOX One later on when i purchased it. I can say that these games hold up very well today and have a lot of configurable options to make the game look the way you want.
FYI - I don't have a powerhouse gaming computer. I have an Intel Celeron 1,1 GHZ Processor , Intel UHD 600, 4GB Ram laptop and this game runs great on these specs. Megaman Legacy Collection 1 and Disney Afternoon Collection run smooth too.
