Mega Man X Legacy Collection Review -- CLS Side Quest

Launched in Japan in 1993 and in the west in 1994, Mega Man X was the very first major Mega Man spinoff, and it was a big enough hit that Capcom released eight total games in the core franchise. To celebrate X's heritage, the publisher opted to release two X Legacy Collections on modern hardware. This review focuses on the first Legacy Collection, which contains X, X2, X3, and X4. The short verdict? It's an excellent compilation very much worth your time and money.

Colin, on a scale of 1 to 10, how hard is the platinum?

Edwin Garcia

I bought the game , I’ve never played it before. It looks cool though.

Chris B

After looking through the trophies, I’m glad they dedicated ones to obtaining the hadoken and shoryuken.

Justin Matkowski

Wrecking Sigma's shit with a Hadouken? Pure bliss....

Jason Pettet

How hard was the plat?

Owen

How about another edition of Super mario all stars. Get like super mario all stars 2d... and then a 3d one.

Brock Thomas Walsh

This is my favorite series of video games ever. I am so thrilled for an excuse to replay these wonderful games. Wish me luck on that Plat!

I've been waiting for this collection since they announced it. I look forward to playing through these games. I hope they make a Legacy Collection for the Megaman Zero games. Have you played through those Colin?

Marc Boggio

I feel like I can now admit to you that I was always a bigger fan of Mega Man X 😂 I played through Mega Man 1-3 on my friend Keith’s NES when I was a kid, but Mega Man X was the first one I owned and really took a dive into. The moment that I unlocked the hadoken fireball, was probably the first time I felt the feeling of unlocking a platinum trophy. Once you get the fireball, you’re done. You played the living hell out of Mega Man X at that point 😂

The moment BettyAnn Moriarty gets more info than she bargained for about her son... lol Great review Colin! X1 is in my top 10 of all time

Colin, question, does the X Collection come with that filter already on? Can you turn it off? What I mean is the graphical smoothing, clearly the pixels are blurred and brushed around to look way cleaner and less jaggy. Also, dude, great review. Listening to you talk about Mega Man over the years has made me want to get good at them so badly, but the fact of the matter is A.) I haven't given it a deep dive just yet, and B.) When I do play it, I suck! I can run through Castlevania, but something about Mega Man, I haven't made the connection just yet and I can't speak the language fluently. As always, Colin, great stuff. Thanks!

I'm curious how you feel about this as well, Colin! They did make a Zero collection for the DS a few years back. Not too many bells and whistles like the legacy collection, but it's got them all together at least. This series made an attempt to continue the storyline from X in a convoluted way, and the gameplay felt like it was trying (key-word there) to be a spiritual successor to the series as well. Thoughts?

Pedro Escobar

loving the reviews, and excited to see what you think of chasm next week as i have my eye on it

Joey Rawlings

Great video, Colin. Although Mega Man was never my game style of choice as a kid and now as a 33-year-old man due to its difficulty, I’m glad to see that Capcom was faithful in this re-release.

Pretty hard. Will be very, very hard for normal gamers who aren't obsessed with the franchise. MMLC2's Platinum is far harder.

X is great. I always loved it, but I really walked away with a new and deeper respect for the franchise.

Ray Tauriello

Great review as always Colin. I was wondering will you be doing review of the Mega Man X Legacy Collection 2? I picked up both collections, but never played anything really past X4 on PS1 so i figured I would try the entire franchise. Just wondering if you were gonna check it out/do a review. Thanks again and keep up the great work!

Thank you! I have no plan to do a review for the second collection, no. By the time I got around to beating all four games, the review would be ancient. Thank you!

Yes, there are 3 filter option and 3 screen ratio options. You can play in original pixel mode. My tip(and I’m no where near as good as Colin), is don’t worry about taking damage, when you get hit, move forward. While you flash you go through enemies without knockback(ha!). Every stage has a spot where you can respawn enemies, shoot them for health, refill weapons/ e-tanks. The important part is getting to the Maverick and try to have full health/etank and weakness weapon. The real game starts with Sigma stage 1. The 8 Mavericks are training wheels.

I should say, each stage has an “easy” spot to refill health etc. you can respawn enemies anywhere, but certain spots have enemies that just take one shot from the P shooter, so you can kill/respawn quickly. For example, the Bats are a good one to load up on health.

Out of the 4 on Legacy 1, which was the most difficult, least? I remember a lot of X from SNES, so it hasnt been too tough(I’m up to Sigma stage 2 after just one night), but this is easily the most familiar one to me out of the trilogy. Is it the easiest?
