A collection of classic 2D platform games from the popular Mega Man series created by Capcom. This production is a sequel to Mega Man Legacy Collection, released in 2015, and it offers four games that were absent in the aforementioned collection.
Mega Man Legacy Collection 2, released on PC, SWITCH and etc. is a collection of four classic 2D platform games created by Capcom. This game is a sequel to Mega Man Legacy Collection, released in 2015, and offers main entries from the series that were not included in the previous collection.
The bundle consists of four games. The first is Mega Man 7, initially released in 1995 on Super Nintendo Entertainment System. The second one is Mega Man 8, released a year later on 32-bit consoles – PlayStation and Sega Saturn. The third game is Mega Man 10, the last title in this collection, was released a year later on the same platforms as the previous game.
All games take place on Earth around the end of the 21st century, and the main hero in all of them is the titular Mega Man – a humanoid robot with artificial intelligence created by an inventor, Thomas Light. His main enemy is, as always, Doctor Wily, a crazy scientist, as well as robots that are his creation. In the beginning of some of the campaigns it may seem that someone else is responsible for all tragedies but, in the end, it turns out that Wily was behind all of this.
Even though the games, that are part of this bundle released on PC, SWITCH and etc., were released over the years they all have similar game mechanics. We get four 2D platform games in which the main elements are exploration of big maps, collecting items and avoiding traps.
Each one of the four games focuses on fights during which we can use futuristic weapons. The campaigns are full of fights with diverse bosses. Defeating them usually allows us to get their unique attacks. The games are very hard, the challenges are creative and the content is rich.
Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 offers full single player campaigns in all of the games that are part of this collection. In addition to that there is a challenge mode that allows players to check out modified versions of classic levels with new challenges. Our score is displayed in the rankings along with those belonging to other players.
Mega Man 7 is the only game in the bundle that offers a multiplayer mode in which two players can face each other on small arenas.
A virtual museum is an additional attraction. The museum is full of information, pictures and sketches that document how the games were developed.

Game Ratings for Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 Video Game.
Push Square: 8 / 10 by Dan Thompson
Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 has more variety than its predecessor due to the titles spanning both different systems and different decades. Just like the Disney Afternoon Collection, there's a plethora of bonus content included here, spanning art galleries and music libraries. This is another essential compilation for fans of the Blue Bomber.
Destructoid: 8 / 10 by Chris Carter
Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 is worth it for 9 alone, but you'll also get to experience several legacy games that were ed by. I'm still holding water for 8 all these years later, and due to some amazingly camp artwork and stellar animations, it's one of the most "showable" Mega Man games to date. I think a lot of people are going to be pleasantly surprised by it, as well as the near flawlessness of 9 -- even if 7 and 10 are just as wart-filled as they always were.
PlayStation LifeStyle: 7.5 / 10 by Blake Grundman
Somehow, Capcom has managed to find a way to weaponize concentrated nostalgia, and set us all in their cross-hairs. While not as impressive as the first iteration in of quality and amount of content, Mega Man Legacy Collection 2, is still worth a purchase for damn near any gamer. It manages to be grounded in history, while still adding in just enough modern flourishes to help keep the challenge manageable. If recent history is any indication, it's probably best to indulge yourself and savor every byte of digital goodness. Lord knows when we will get the chance to see the Blue Bomber again.
