The first thing that hits me when I start up Mega Man 10 is that the latter problem seems to be fixed. The game was very black, which isn't Mega Man to me. If I had any complaints about the design last time, it would probably be that the levels were a bit colorless. Pixels are art, and it was great to hear Capcom's composers working within the constraints put on them by the NES sound chip again. The controls will never be that wonderfully precise if the levels aren't rendered with such clarity. Capcom went back to its roots, not only because it was retro-cool, but because Mega Man thrives in glorious 8-bit.

Sheep Man, Commando Man, Blade Man, Strike One, Solar One, Chill Man, Nitro Man and Pump It stare at me from the screen that let me choose which of them I'll start out with, before I pick Sheep Man and another Mega Man adventure begins.Īfter Mega Man 2 (one of the best games ever) the 2008 hit Mega Man 9 is probably my favorite in the classic series. Wily is supposed to be innocent this time, Capcom tells us, but wise from experience I know that the last boss will be the good old doctor anyway. A bunch of robots are running wild, which has something to do with the robot virus Roboenza. It is also perfect for any newcomers who want to try out a piece of gaming history.Here we go again. Mega Man Legacy Collection is ideal for Mega Man fans - offering the perfect archive of the early games while still providing enough fresh options to keep them playing. This should be in a museum, and now it kind of is If you think original titles were hard, wait till you give these a go. Put simply, challenge mode is crazy, and you’ll have to really struggle to complete levels. It is an entirely new mode that brings with it surprising difficulties thanks to setting you different goals to achieve as you make your way through levels. This mode takes all the levels, and remixes them in entirely new ways to test both novice and veteran players. One major new addition to this collection is the new Challenge Mode. You can choose any of the six games to play, and keep throwing yourself against them in a desperate attempt to make it to the end – all the while knowing a single misstep could cost you one of your precious lives.

The games in the bundle also faithfully reproduce the gameplay: in that it is punishingly hard.
