Very complex and gripping games. the controls are suprisingly just as tight as i remember on the game-boy as well. defineitly worth buying!… Expand

The Zero games are some of the best games in the franchise and the ZX games, while debatably weaker, are still very interesting experiments, combining aspects of both Mega Man and Metroidvanias.
   
   Reviewing every game individually would be way too much, so instead, I'll give a brief overview of what you can expect to find in this collection and the overall quality of the games.
   
   As far as the Zero quadrology is concerned, they take place 100 years post-Mega Man X series and put you in control of Zero, who has finally awakened after his ending in X6. New characters and antagonists are introduced, and the overall story is much more complex than either the classics or even the X series, believe or not. What's most surprising about this, is that the story is actually a really good overarching narrative, with multiple reoccurring characters, plot threads, twists and turns, and a really strong, emotional, conclusion, featuring some of the most epic moments in the series.
   
   As far as the gameplay goes, there are multiple changes to the Mega Man formula as we know it, which makes the Zero games quite unique, like level-up systems, multiple weapons besides the buster and Z saber, mission structures, etc.
   
   Not all of these additions are executed the best, specifically in Zero 1, which has big grinding issues, but as the series goes on, it gets more streamlined and fun to play, culminating with Zero 3, which is best of them all as far as I see it since it has a really fun combat system and strong level design. I'm not kidding when I say that Zero 3 gets my vote for best Mega Man game ever made, it's that fun.
   
   Every game introduces some new aspects to shake up the gameplay and give it its own identity, so even tho they follow a formula, they don't get nearly as repetitive as the classic series. Some ideas are better than others, but all of the games are very replayable and fun to speedrun, thanks to their tight controls and short length.
   
   The ZX series pretty much continues where the Zero series left off, but with new characters and new additions to the formula that makes the game more of a Metroidvania than anything else. Not gonna lie tho, I've always been rather unimpressed with this series efforts in that regard, and I haven't gotten very far in them because of it. I know there are many who love them, but I'm sorry to say, I'm not one of them. Still, it's cool that they added them, and didn't do a separate collection, like with the other Legacy collections.
   
   Which brings me to the package as a whole. For 30 bucks, the value in this is incredible; 6 games for 5 dollars each is a steal, especially considering their quality, my own feelings towards ZX aside.
   
   If it was just that it'd already have been great, but the remastering process really makes the vibrant colors, smooth animations, and great sprite work of each game pop, and look great even on a big HD TV. Not that big on the graphic filters and borders tho, I think the games look the best in their original forms. And despite the fact that the music was made for the GBA and DS systems, they still sound really good, I mean, this is Mega Man we're talking about, of course the soundtracks are gonna be great.
   
   What really seals the deal, tho is the amount of extra content packed within this collection; an easy mode with new checkpoints for newcomers, since these games are rather tough, great HD concept art for every game, a list of all the great soundtracks which you can listen at any time, special cards unlocked through playing that add little details to the game's themselves, and a brand new online mode where you compete with other players to see who can finish a stage first, featuring leader boards.
   
   This is by far the best Legacy Collection made to date, it has a good price, a good chunk of content, 6 games, and it all comes in 1 neat little package, instead of 2. If ya haven't played these games yet, and are a Mega Man fan or a fan of platformers in general, there is no going wrong with this, it's a great collection through and through and I can't recommend it enough.… Expand

   Mega Man Zero games are really amazing that is a MUST for every fan! I haven't had a chance to play these games back on gameboy so I'm reallyMega Man Zero games are really amazing that is a MUST for every fan! I haven't had a chance to play these games back on gameboy so I'm really happy with the collection. Capcom did great delivering these games to PS4/XB1/Switch, with adding many options for the players such as filters, layouts and wallpapers. Z Chaser, the new mode is really challenging and fun to play but it's so short as there are only two levels for each game and one secret level. The bonus for the collection is kind of disappointed. I can't deny that there are a huge number of arts and pictures in the gallery, but I found out that many arts included in the official artworks book weren't included in the game. Plus, the Remastered Tracks Rockman Zero [ RTRZ ] weren't included in the music player as well. RTRZ is really awesome and way better than the original, and it includes a well acted Japanese dub!. However, capcom didn't offer the option to switch between original and remastered soundtracks, instead, they offer 10 remixes that are a pre order bonus. This disappointed me the most. I really would like to play the games with RTRZ. The only way to play with RTRZ now is via modes on PC.
   If they included the RTRZ, then I would give the collection 10/10.… Expand

I went in expecting the amazingI went into this game series hearing great things about it and having loved the original and X series. I went in expecting the amazing gameplay of mega man x4 since this game series stars Zero. But the game plays poorly, has greatly inferior graphics to the SNES or PlayStation games, and is a let down in every way. I played every game on this collection and they all were mediocre or downright bad. I regret buying this especially after how great the X legacy collection was. Skip this one.… Expand
