Though retailer and ratings board listings gave us some insight into the existence of this game before the official announcement, Capcom has finally confirmed the Mega Man X Legacy Collection, which will be a two-part release. Part 1 will include the first four games, while the second half offers Mega Man X5 through X8. As a bonus, there will new features, such as the new game mode, called "X Challenge" which is a boss rush, while the Museum Mode will have bios on the characters, as well as the "Day of Sigma" anime special which originally launched with Mega Man Maverick Hunter on the PSP. There's no confirmation of a western version at the time of writing, but it's almost a certainty. The game will be available on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC, and Nintendo Switch on July 26. The cover art for both versions is shown below.

Edit: The PlayStation blog confirmed a western release for July 24. There will be a digital release for all platforms which will cost $19.99, and a physical console release which includes both games, for $39.99.

I hope this creates a renewed interest in the series. I've been hoping for MMX9 for years.

srs the games are preety small no need to split them up, the frirst collection its like what 1.5gb? afaik the first 2 are snes games wich are preety tiny and the rest are under 700mb since they were cd games...

there was an x collection on gc and it had x1 to x6 and megaman battle and chase and gc dics cant be more than 1.35gb...

The size will probably be different since these are recreations like the other two legacy collections and not just simple ports and emulations like the first collection.

This will be a part 1 only thing for me. I've only got interest in the first handful of Mega Man X games, though a physical release is tempting.

 

[SonowRaevius]

Gonna give my $0.02 on this.

While I do think that it is stupid to split up the collection, the price is ok for what they ($40 either way for the whole collection and $20 seperately).
Plus, now, if you don't like the later half of the series (X5-X8) you don't even have to buy them.
That plus some slightly improved visuals and new modes, I don't see too much to really complain about honestly as of yet.

((Also, did anyone notice that X is the SNES model wearing Ultimate Armor in the X-Challenge scene they showed?!))

i doubt after you merge collection 1 and 2 you get anything over 5 gb lol

reminds me of megaman legacy collection on ps4 its complete install and its under 7gb and switch only gets part 1 wich is under 1gb and part2 is dlc code...

This looks cool, but since I already have X Collection for my PS2, I think I'll pass on this one.

Also, I personally find it funny how they pretty much split the games up into the good and the bad with each collection. No offense to fans of later games in the series, but it did seem that the games declined in quality slightly with X5, and significantly with X6. X4 is the shit, though.

 

[PolloDiablo]

Now I'm wondering how they will split this one next year

 

[SG854]

Surprisingly Day of Sigma has really good acting. Much better than what they got for X4 and Megaman 8 Dr. Wahwee.

 

[godreborn]

X7 is pretty bad. I got to the final boss in X8, but I could never beat it. that's the one with the spinning crystals, right? sigma may have been after her; in fact, I think he might've been, so maybe it was the boss before the last.

I'm sure if they make a Mega Man X9 it will either be like the snes games or be what they're trying to do with MM11. just my thoughts anyway.

lmao. the voice acting is classic in MM8. I remember watching a speedrun of that game for AGDQ I believe, and one of the donation milestones was having everyone watch those cutscenes.

To be fair, almost everything from the ps1 era had pretty bad VA. Resident evil is another excellent example of this

And now for the weather forecast:
LC1 sales - 100.000+
LC2 sales - 100+
LC1 reivews - Overwhelmingly positive
LC2 reviews - Mostly Negative

There's no need to split it. in fact, there's no reason to release that collection again either.

You don't know how much Crapcom loves his lazy money.

Oh? Do I?
I'm just using simple logic on a megaman series which was released ONLY on handheld Nintendo consoles, and has been out through VC on the Wii U.
If people want MMZ on the switch, they should wait for VC Switch ports.

They got Elmer Fudd to play Dr. Light.

I want the Japanese versions along with the U.S. like what they did with 3ds anniversary collection. There are musical differences between versions and I like the Japanese intros to X3 rerelease and X4. If they can do that release SNES versions along with the release versions that will be awesome. But I know they won’t.

And the classic House of Dead 2. Never forget G. G is the best. Suffer like G did. Even ps2 era has a few bad voice acting.

Capcom doesn't use logic.
And there is no Switch VC.

I didn't like the numerous play styles, Mega Man X should be 2D action only. X through X4 are the only ones I enjoyed.

X1~X3 SNES and X4 Playstation were it for me. Those were more memorable than other later series. For me, it just got too complicated with "stuff". My personal favorite is X2
