There are some minor adjustments you can make to how they look such as applying a filter to simulate how these games looked on a CRT TV or to give them a crisper look.īarring the last two games in the series, each and every entry is in 2D with pixels and sprite work that holds up reasonably well on a big screen while using the Nintendo Switch in docked mode and look just as good in handheld mode too.
Instead, the duo have a set of well emulated ports of the originals that were first on the SNES, PS1, and PS2.
There’s nothing in the way of high-resolution graphics or increased frame rates. Much like Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection, Mega Man X Legacy Collection and Mega Man X Legacy Collection 2 are re-releases, not remasters. They’re now available for the Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One, and Windows PC we played them both on the former. Mega Man X Legacy Collection contains the first four games (Mega Man X to Mega Man X4), while Mega Man X Legacy Collection 2 has the last four (Mega Man X5 to Mega Man X8), all of which originally released between 19.
While the original series of Mega Man games were known for their simple themes and polished albeit limited gameplay mechanics, the X franchise brings improved traversal and shooting. Mega Man X Legacy Collection and Mega Man X Legacy Collection 2 are compilations of action-adventure games.
