The Blue Bomber returns in this 2nd collection of classic Capcom titles. Featuring reproductions of Mega Man 7, 8, 9, and 10, this collection is full of additional content, from time trials and remix challenges to a music player and an extensive gallery of rare illustrations.
Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 is also available on PC & XBox One.
Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 is the ultimate follow-up to the first collection, and brings us to a full 10 Mega Man games now available on the PS4. This collection boasts some truly high quality Mega Man experiences, as well as a large number of challenges for experienced players. The Mega Man games speak for themselves largely on quality, but they have been packaged here in a very attractive and improved fashion.
Whilst not as authentically original as the first legacy collection, Capcom’s latest set of re-releases more than makes up for it with this diverse quartet of great games.
With just four included games, it arguably may not be quite the value that the original MMLC was, and it’s a bit disappointing we won’t be seeing these games on the portable consoles (3DS and Switch) considering how well they’d translate to those platforms... but regardless, Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 is the most sensible way to enjoy these four games that exists today.
I did like going back through the four games on offer with Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 overall. The features included are exactly the same as the first Legacy Collection and the way saving works now makes for a fairer challenge that doesn’t make things too easy. It’s just a shame the enhanced version of Mega Man 8 wasn’t used and Mega Man & Bass was not included, as it gives the impression Capcom’s heart wasn’t quite in it. It’s a decent collection, but plays things far too safe.
​Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 is an intriguing compilation with some very polarizing games which may appeal or not fans and newcomers alike. Although well done, it feels a bit lackluster and the addition of a couple more games - such as Mega Man & Bass - would have been much more appreciated.​
A good collection, with a nice selection of games and a fair amount of extras to rediscover the adventures of the iconic character.
Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 reminds us why the Blue Bomber fell in the nineties. With only four titles included, the compilation runs short, especially when compared to the first one. Only hardcore fans will enjoy its many bonuses and challenges.
