Mega Man X: Legacy Collection (2018)

I thought this game was difficult, only because I was a child at the time, but honestly?

It gave me a hard time, more than I imagined, maybe megaman X 1 wasn't that hard, maybe not even the 2nd, but the 3rd wasn't a piece of cake at all.

the 4th honestly, didn't give me the desire to replay it that change in graphics, it didn't appeal to me at all.

I was really glad I replayed it, it really deserves this saga :'3

1-Star reviews, for me, are reserved for one thing only: non-functional games. Even the worst games for me will get a 2, provided they are functional. Mega Man X is my favorite series of games, and I know how they feel. I've been playing the original Mega Man X with regularity since it was released. So when I loaded up the Mega Man X Collection and tried to play Mega Man X I immediately felt that something was off. I looked it up and I wasn't the only one. There is a very serious amount of input lag that renders the game technically playable, but not fun to play. And, for someone like me who knows the game intimately, it's unplayable.

There are also report of other saying that nothing was wrong. Frankly, if you think nothing is wrong, you probably don't know these games very well and were going to die to the spike pit on Rangda Bangda anyway.

Unfortunately, because this hasn't been fixed within the 3 years it's been out, we're unlikely to see it ever fixed. Buyer beware. This is a broken collection of amazing games.

As a port job it gets a 3/5... My individual rankings for the games can be viewed by looking them up. The rather noticeable input lag (especially on the SNES titles), the lack of savestates or rewind, weird aspect ration pixel crunching requirements and the lack of any real unlockables really make this just a so-so port job. X-Challenge is a cluster-screw of a mess that requires a lot more luck than skill and offers little in the way of an interesting challenge. The art gallery is cool enough and some of the medals were fun (while others felt arbitrary and grindy)

The one advantage this collection has is being on the switch which allows you to play these high quality platformers on the go. Otherwise I suggest standard emulation or the x collection for the GC and PS2 over this. If you can't easily get either of those or like me want to play the X series on the go, I can confirm it is worth the buy.
