Mega Man Legacy Collection is a celebration of the 8-bit history of Capcom’s iconic Blue Bomber. Featuring faithful reproductions of the series’ origins with the original six Mega Man games, the Legacy Collection will remind long-time fans and introduce newcomers to what made Mega Man such a popular and iconic character. Mega Man Legacy Collection will feature all six games and much more. In addition to the six Mega Man games, Mega Man Legacy Collection features new ways to experience the classic games with the Museum Mode and new Challenge Mode. Challenge Mode remixes gameplay segments from all six games, with plenty of scaling difficulty objectives for experienced players to conquer yet serving as a good starting point for new players, too. Museum Mode contains a comprehensive collection of history, high-res art and original concept pieces – a mega treat for any fan of Mega Man and video game history.FEATURES • Six classic games in one – Play a piece of video game history with the original six Mega Man games and experience the origins of the classic series. • 8-bit style with HD flair – The games retain their retro 8-bit style with an added HD finish, giving a crisp, clean look to the charming, classic sprites. • Challenge remix mode for new and veteran players – The robust new Challenge Mode remixes gameplay from all six games for a new type of challenge. It provides both increasingly difficult trials for experienced players and also teaches newcomers to become familiar with the style of the games and tackle some of the trickier areas. • Museum of the era – The Museum Mode features a massive repository of history and art collected from the era of the games in this collection. Take a look back at the history of Mega Man with loads of information, high-res art, concept pieces, sketches and more in the Museum. • Developed with an all-new engine – Using the newly developed Eclipse Engine, Capcom and Digital Eclipse are able to archive these six pieces of video game history with faithful reproductions of the originals for a new generation of gamers. • Leaderboards and video replays – Fans will be able to watch video replays

My mistake, I didn't read it probably and thought it was for the 360, cheers.

I think it will mainly benefit people who have recently picked up an xbone, for people like ourselves who have owned one for some time most of the games that interest us we would of played already

I caved after postponing last time it was on offer at this price. Something to work through slowly, at least!

It's a shame (for me) that they didn't do this earlier as I own so many games now it wouldn't be good value :/

Rumour is £7.99 per month

This is going to be included with Xbox Game Pass when it launches by the way, just in case anyone was planning on subscribing to that. Still voted hot as it's a great price.

Any news on the UK price for that yet?

Loved these on NES as a kid, became a true pro but I could only complete megaman 2 this time after a major effort, and that was enough! Just don't have the time/inclination/stamina any more.
It's nice that they're so faithfully reproduced, but I feel like such hard-line early 90s hard-as-sh*t games like these just don't wash any more.
Shovel Knight is much more to my taste (perfect retro platforming game that incorporates modern mechanics and design).

Tempting but will it be free on Games with Gold before I get round to playing it? :smiley:

I remember practicing hard and beating these games as a kid. Played them again recently and I was like "nah, this is too hard, you can't even duck or shoot upwards FFS"

I'm thinking it's got to be a party a dibble at this price?

It is an xbox one game, not a 360 game, so yes it works on xbox one
