Mega Man: Get Equipped with Thread Shot!

I wonder if a Mega Man Legends Legacy Collection would include Tron Bonne. (Every other MM thing appears to have a Legacy Collection. Surprised we haven't seen Legends yet.)

Reminds me that I need to check out MMBN LC. Picked it up for cheap; never played any of those.

That is the worrying question. Capcom has pretty strictly adhered to numbered titles/mainline entries only, but Legends also has the fewest entries of any Mega Man series outside of ZX (unless you count DiVE or Xover, which are more crossover things, anyway).

Having both Legends would only be made stronger by including MoTB, even if it's as a "bonus" or something. Otherwise, I guess we'd be waiting for that coveted "Mega Man Gems Collection" made up of stuff that didn't fit their idea of what a collection needs to be.

In addition to MoTB, it would be fantastic if we got Great Adventure on the 5 Islands in an official capacity, but at least we have the free release with the fan translation either way.

Sigh. Why do game companies have to be so damn weird about things sometimes?
 
Legends is the last remnants of the old MM stuff they can port, right? All the portable stuff has been compiled save for the lost Game Boy games, right? I can see them maybe lumping all the odds and ends with it too, like Power Battler and Soccer and Command Mission.

There's Legends, Star Force from the DS, and a bunch of miscellaneous stuff including (but not limited to, this is just off the top of my head):

- Mega Man & Bass
- Mega Man 1-5 for Game Boy
- Mega Man Xtreme 1 & 2 for Game Boy Color
- Rockboard
- Mega Man Soccer
- Mega Man Battle & Chase
- Mega Man X Command Mission
- Mega Man Network Transmission
- Mega Man Battle Chip Challenge
- Mega Man: Maverick Hunter X
- Mega Man Powered Up
- The two Battle Network phone games

One could also argue the two arcade games, but those were part of Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium. Still, that had other games like Street Fighters that made it into SF collections, so they could be done again.
 
I think "Mega Man Legends 1 + 2 Plus a bunch of bric-a-brac we have laying around" would do well as a legacy collection, and then maybe just maybe they'll make new stuff!

I'm sure Capcom is OK with getting more money for the same game again.

They can happily stretch it out if they include Misadventures of Tron Bonne and a port of Great Adventure on the 5 Islands for s Legends Legacy Collection.

Didn't make the NA Direct, but Japan got a Mega Man Starforce Collection announcement and Capcom posted it for NA on their YT:
 
The latest episode of Retronauts featured Mega Man X4. I really like Mega Man X4. But it got me thinking about the X series as a whole.

From what I've played:

Mega Man X. A sublime Mega Man game. My personal favorite in the entire Mega Man franchise. Did it invent or popularize the air dash?
Mega Man X2. Feels like more of the same. I like it but it feels unremarkable to me.
Mega Man X3. A very difficult game. Kaiser Sigma is an insanely hard boss. I beat it one time in my life when I was younger. I don't think I could do it again.
Mega Man X4. This is my second favorite X game. I really like that there is only 1 energy tank and CAPCOM seems to design around that limitation.
Mega Man X5. A very difficult game. The bosses get harder or something depending on the order you fight them and are harder in the boss rush. I got to Sigma 3rd form a few times with a sliver of health. I don't think I'll ever beat this game.
Mega Man X6. Have not played. General consensus is people don't love it.
Mega Man X7. Have not played. It has more 3D elements?
Mega Man X8. A very difficult game. I'm just starting out, but stages are routinely killing me. I'm buying time until Silent Hill f comes out and playing this for the first time. But I don't see myself sticking this out once I can play Silent Hill f.

I kind of don't get the Mega Man X series from a target audience perspective.

I could pretty easily beat the the core mega man games minus the one with timed gravity gates (MM7 or MM8?). Mega Man X I think I've finished 3 of 6 games that I've played. The X series feels like an order of magnitude more difficult than the vanilla Mega Man series.

I keep getting tricked by the excellence and approachability of Mega Man X, and thinking the rest of the X series will be like this. Its not, but I wish it was!
