Mega Man has, for the most part, always been associated with the Nintendo Entertainment System. Sure, he made the jump of to the Playstation and had a less than stellar compilation on the Genesis, but most remember the Blue Bomber from his many iterations on the classic grey toaster, the NES.
The good news is that now you’ll finally be able to play those games once again and save yourself the headache of paying far too much for the original NES carts. I’ll let Capcom themselves spill the beans on all the details:
“In mere months you’ll be able to play the original six Mega Man games in crisp 1080p and enhanced with modern bonuses. Mega Man Legacy Collection hits Xbox One, PS4 and PC digital storefronts this summer, with a digital Nintendo 3DS version following in the winter.”
“In addition to the original six games, you also get challenges, a huge of-the-era museum packed with visual history and a helpful database that informs AND tests you on your Mega Man prowess. And for those keeping track, the trailer jam is “Searing Scissors,” part of OverClocked Remix’s excellent “For Everlasting Peace” album.”
“Digital Eclipse is bringing these 8-bit classics over via their new Eclipse Engine, which rebuilds the original games from their source elements. The result is a sharp, clean picture that proudly displays these iconic sprites in lovely 1080p, and presents the games as they existed in their original forms.”
“For $14.99 you’ll get six timeless classics, a huge museum of high-res images and challenges with their own leaderboards and replays.”
