Mega Man Legacy Collection

Mega Man Legacy Collection is a compilation of the first six Mega Man games. Unlike the prior Mega Man Anniversary Collection, the games are all presented as their original versions running under emulation. A challenge mode is also included, eleven of which are only on the Nintendo 3DS and Switch versions (requiring the Mega Man amiibo), as well as a museum containing concept art and advertisements for the games.

Prerelease Info

Unused Graphics#

Two pieces of concept art for Mega Man 2 are not accessible through the in-game Museum: Smoke Man and an unnamed ninja robot. These were most likely removed due to censorship issues (Smoke Man's cigarrette was pixellated in a rather unfortunate way, and the ninja's Manji symbol could have been misinterpreted as a Nazi Swastika).

Present in both the versions in Config.lua are some strings with debug options. Setting these to true does nothing.

This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: Confirm the Steam appid and 3DS uniqueid files aren't used (on their respective platforms).

This
 is a test of word wrap. I'm trying to make a really long line that maybe has some big gigantically long words and some words that are tiny. Supercalifragilisticexpealadocius because very long words might actually break it.  Let's see what happens shall we?

Most likely used for testing word wraps.

Nickname
Let's pretend this is a real description.  I'm describing things RIGHT NOW.  Vividly.  Close your eyes and picture it.

Going to pretend that it's a nickname placeholder.

Oddities#

Please elaborate. Having more detail is always a good thing. Specifically: Clarify if this means Japanese Mega Man 5 version, or Japanese Mega Man Legacy Collection version

• On the Nintendo 3DS version, Mega Man 5 has noticeable frame-skipping issues. This does not affect Rockman 5 (the collection includes both the Japanese and International versions for each game), which runs normally. However, this does not apply to the Challenge mode, which always runs the Mega Man versions regardless of language settings.

Windows Names#

The Steamapps common folder is named "Suzy" (the name of a recurring Mega Man enemy) and the executable inside that is titled "Proteus".

Version Differences#

• The 3DS and Switch versions have exclusive scans for promotional flyers and for the game cartridges and their boxes in the "Antiques" section of the Museum. These are likely omitted from the other versions due to licensing, as Nintendo's logo is visible in them.
• The 3DS and Switch versions have exclusive Challenges that require an amiibo to be unlocked. However, these challenges still exist in all versions of the game as .sav states and can be unlocked in-game without the need of an amiibo by copying the contents of the challenges_3ds.xml file and pasting them into the challenges.xml file.
