Mega Man X Legacy Collection 1 + 2

Game mechanics

Every title included in Mega Man X Legacy Collection 1 + 2 is a two-dimensional platformer using a side perspective. We traverse futuristic locations filled with traps and enemies to defeat. Unlike its big predecessor, Mega Man X not only takes weapons of defeated enemies but can also wall jump and slide across a sloping surface. What’s more, our hero collects more equipment parts to increase his battle potential.

Game modes

While games that make Mega Man X Legacy Collection 1 + 2 focus solely on single player experience, players can still rival each other through online rankings. We can show off our scores in a special game mode, in which we fight to bosses at once with three weapons of our choice. There is also a video material explaining events that took part before the first Mega Man X and virtual museum filled with all kinds of attractions.

Technical aspects

Games that make Mega Man X Legacy Collection and Mega Man X6 along with Mega Man X6 from the second compilation use pixel-art two-dimensional visuals; only Mega Man X7 and Mega Man X8 use 3D. While all titles offer refreshed graphics, they can be also played in their original forms.

In case of PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles, Mega Man X Legacy Collection 1 + 2 was published on two discs with both compilations included. On the other hand, Nintendo Switch version features a single cartridge with the first collection, along with a code for ing the second one from the Internet.
