Still, where Legacy Collection 2 stumbles, Legacy Collection shines. The original six Mega Man games are the real stars, and having unfettered access to them in such a premium package makes this arguably the definitive way to play them. The quality of life features I mentioned previously, particularly things like Turbo CPU Speed and saving at any point makes this sextet of games not only easier to play in terms of control, but also difficulty.

The Mega Man Legacy Collection may seem lacking in core game content given how vast the Mega Man franchise is, but what it delivers is executed perfectly. Every game included here lacks input lag and comes with a lot of extras.
