The Megaman Legacy Collection gives you the chance to relive the 8-bit experience.
[dropcap size=small]R[/dropcap]egardless of whether or not you’ve actually played Megaman, which is a damn shame if you haven’t, you probably have heard of Capcom’s pride and joy at some point. Nonetheless, if you’d like to see what makes Megaman so special than you’re in luck! Playstation has collaborated with Digital Eclipse to bring back Megaman 1 through 6. Take a look at the video below to have a history lesson on everything amazing that is Megaman.
Digital Eclipse is a company that specializes in bring old video game classics like Megaman back to life. The engine that the company has created takes everything that you love about the classics, like those damn glitches and even the cheats, and puts them onto your tv. Unlike porting or emulators, which have been known to leave out pieces of a game or to remake them in a slightly better quality, Digital Eclipse’s engine leaves nothing out. Your Megaman games will look exactly like they did twenty years ago.
Not only do you receive six Megaman games with the Megaman Legacy Collection, you also will receive several unique features that come with the collection as well. You can read about these unique features below.
- Database: All six games include a Database that features a description of every enemy and which weapon they’re weak against. The best part is you can jump into a practice fight against any Robot Master with all weapons available to you before diving into the full game.
- Museum: We compiled hundreds of production art pieces, concept work, unused enemy sketches, and other cool artifacts. Seeing all this art that was the source of the pixel art in the game feels like a treat because it’s a new way to see the games you and I played.
- Music player: The music is one of the strongest components of what makes Mega Man so popular, and this player puts all 100+ tracks from Mega Man 1-6 in one spot for you to enjoy.
- Challenges: A series of 50+ challenges that take some of the most difficult sections of the games and arranges them in a time trial format. It’s fully supported by leader boards and video replays for the top times so you can learn from the best.
Challenges is a unique feature that gives you access to every single weapon and item for each game you are playing. This makes the challenge of trying to finish a level as fast as you can a little bit easier and opens up the game for many different opportunities.
