Mega Man Legacy Collection is a comprehensive compilation of the original six 8-bit Mega Man games, bringing back iconic villain Dr. Wily and his Robot Masters like Magnet Man and Bomb Man for our hero to defeat. The Museum Mode featured in the game allows players to access and enjoy hundreds of vintage concept sketches, stunningly high resolution pieces of production art including unused Robot Master designs, a database full of enemy information and a retro music player featuring over 100 songs from the Mega Man games!

There is also a brand new Challenge Mode which remixes gameplay segments from the original games, creating new adventures for even the most seasoned players to conquer, while also acting as a good starting point for newcomers to experience Mega Man for the first time. The collection retains its retro 8-bit style with a newly added HD flourish, giving all of the original sprites the crispest look fans have ever seen.
