For those who can’t hack it, or just want to relax a bit can turn on a special mode that allows you to take 50% damage from all sources. Players who enjoyed Mega Man when it first came out are looking for an increasing challenge and risk with each new release, and Capcom doesn’t skimp at all on it. Mega Man 10 in particular just absolutely ravaged my mind and made me feel small, like a gaming infant, cooing weakly as flying saucers and jumping clown robots destroyed my village.Īs hard as these games can be, that’s the ultimate result of having 10 games in a series be so similar and release over such a large amount of time. Gameplay wise, however, these games really push the limits of how many patterns of death can be thrown at you before you die. Mega Man 9 and 10 are a return to the 8-bit style graphics, menus, and they capture the look and feel of those original games to a T. It is Mega Man 8 where we get a graphical upgrade and some interesting features for attacks, starting with the fun and highly creative use of a ball and soccer kicks to serve as a powerful attack or stun.
Mega Man 7 is pretty straight forward, and feels just like a classic jaunt through any of the prior Mega Man games. For a casual gamer, I wouldn’t expect much play time there.Įach of the four games are similar, but each has their own flair to them.
Stage remixes, boss blitzes, time attacks, and limited power stages takes a game that is beyond hard and makes it near impossible, but for those Mega Man fanatics who can really get after it, these challenges are perfect. Each game has a special challenge mode that presents an increasingly difficult set of parameters for you to clear. This overall collection is smaller that the first, but these games are a bit more diverse so it makes up for that in the end. These games all have a special flow and feel to them that sets them apart from the originals, and each is an excellent game on its own, now brought together in one convenient package. Mega Man Legacy Collection 2, bundles Mega Man 7 from the Super Nintendo, Mega Man 8 from the PlayStation, and Mega Man 9 and 10, both recent releases for the Wii, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. With the first Mega Man Legacy Collection, we got a bundle of the originals from the Nintendo Entertainment System, all great and all now very expensive to purchase original copies of. When you’re working with a collection of games that has been a stalwart of quality throughout its existence, it doesn’t take much work to make the whole package pop.
Mega Man games are two things, generally: super fun, and way hard.
