In this video we take a look at the Mega Man X Legacy collection and I talk about what I think Capcom did right and wrong with the execution. In general I love this collection and play it all the time but the game is far from perfect which I explain in this video!

MHX was okay (Vile mode was a little overrated and the 3D screen-crunched environments weren't as good as the original 16-bit), but CM definitely.
Not as important as no 8:7 option, but I think it's worth mentioning the absurd censorship of the General's salute in X4. And that Capcom was too cheap to license "Makenai Ai ga Kitto Aru" for the US release of the collection.

What a dumb thing to censor tbh. It's just an army salute. And yea FR how come we didn't get the main songs from X4? Capcom has money but they want to be cheap af when it comes to Mega Man

It's pretty ironic that the generals salute was retained on the E-rated X collection that was North American exclusive in 2006, but was cut on the T-rated X Legacy Collection they should have retained it in the Legacy Collection or it should have been the other way around that's why I would usually stick with the older collections....
I think a missed opportunity for not just separating the game collections, but if combined: the main menu could literally be an old-style boss select screen, only the "bosses" are the 8 X games, and as you beat them, it grays out the "beaten" games until you beat them all and unlock the "Sigma" selections, which would be MHX, Xtreme1, Xtreme2 and MMX:CM. It sounds silly, but it would be awesome.

Great idea
15:35 While an 8:7 option would have been nice for those who wanted it, 4:3 is the intended aspect ratio since the games were intended to be played on CRTs and they stretch the image to 4:3. And yes, the game devs did realize this and even accounted for it in the game. In the intro of Armoured Armadillo's stage, there are circles in the floor, in 4:3 they are perfectly round, in 8:7 they are ovals.
One problem I have with the X Legacy Collection is that they could have given you the option to play either the cartridge or CD-ROM versions of Mega Man X3

I hate Mega Man X3 on the Mega Man X Collection on Steam. There aren't any cutscenes/animations for the bosses when you first select the stage. And the music doesn't change it just plays straight through. No boss music or enemy boss meter fill sound. It's vanilla as Hell. Thank God they didn't mess up X4 though

I feel you should cover problems with battle network legacy collection, which starts with volume 1 and 2 being 40 bucks per if you buy them individually making the total amount spent 80 bucks or 100 if you buy physically after trying digital. There is no cheap way to introduce a friend to that collection

The super famicon version is the more tolerable version. Gameboy Advance version was a nightmare.
It was bad when this entire collection was on sale for $5 for each one this summer, and played them to find how bad the ports were. How can mega man x have slowdown on the tutorial intro stage on a 5800X cpu and 3070 Ti GPU with 32GB’s of RAM??
Since you got over 500 like, are you going to do the video comparing the X collections now?
One thing you're wrong about is that 4:3 is improper scaling for SNES games. While 8:7 would be a nice option to have, the games were meant to be played on a 4:3 TV. That was the intended ratio. 8:7 displays were not, and still aren't, a thing.
Megaman Battle & Chase is also on the PS2 version. I know because I own it myself and unlocked it.
One thing that kills me in the second collection of this game is the fact that Megaman X8 had a PC port, with dual audio, and multiple languages. And instead of giving us THAT version capcom decided to emulate the PS2 version which doesn't let you play the game in English/Japanese audio, a thing the Pc version allowed you to.
Dude. 4:3 is the proper stretching/scaling aspect. I have no idea what shoot you were crapping over with that.
@tooterp

4:3 is what CRT TVs output, SNES outputs at 8:7 onto a 4:3 CRT. CRTs are curved so it looks great on that in 4:3, but on a flat screen it looks stretched unless you're playing at the natural aspect ratio of 8:7 So unless you're playing Mega Man X Legacy collection on a CRT it looks weird There's a lot of confusion about that so I understand why a lot of people didn't know what I was talking about but either way they should have added the option in the legacy collection.
I would've been MUCH happier if they had been a single release, had they done it properly with the stuff you suggested and gone the extra mile of AT LEAST making the X1-X3 bosses in the X4-X6 graphics, I would've even paid the full 60 dollar price point.

If you bought the PS4 version it would have been a single full price release. I agree that if they were going to do an X-Challenge mode, then it should have been done in a way so that all of the characters were represented in a uniform style (either 16-bit or 32-bit) - it would even allow for X8 characters to appear, and it just looks cheap having two conflicting art styles on screen.
My problem is that I can't find a way to minimize the game. I have to exit the game every time if I want to use my computer for something else.

Curious how I was playing Megaman X8 in the Legacy Collection and the second I stopped playing it out of a ragequit, a video about the problems of the Legacy Collection pops up on my feed.
where would I play these games @ site or otherwise? or download & play
They didn''t include the original PC CD-ROM versions in these collections. That's one big damn problem. Especially since the PC version of X3 has a hardmode the Saturn and PSX versions don't X1 was released for DOS native no emulation as is its own thing as was X3-4-5-6-7-8 on PC before the digital era. Only X2 never received a PC version for some reason.
I dunno. For whatever reason, I can nearly 100% the Wall Jump to Buster Upgrade on Wheel Gator Stage, except on this collection, where it really feels like the level itself got edited and that gap got moved over like, ONE TILE or something. I know it's super tight, but it's the main reason for my X2 route, where I do WG first, OO second, and then from there on in order

Its input delay. And its worse depending on what platform you got the game on. I died more times than i should of in X1-3 due to the latency. On ps4. Edited: maybe also due to the improper 4:3 compared to 8:7?
I said the same thing about the volume settings literally yesterday when I was playing the X legacy collection in my ps4, what a coincidence that you released this video this time and mentioned the same point 😂😂🤙.. I was complaining that the sound effects of the explosions and the buster is loud and a bit annoying, in the same time I don't wanna lower the volume considering that MMX music is awesome.. So yeah it sucks but I can live with it.. Lol
Why i love that Collection is u can Battle against X & Awakened Zero Hard Mode 9-4 Secret Boss.
I do have a complain about X8 in this collection though: Capcom released Megaman X8 to PC decades ago, and that version had multiple languages and the ability to play the game in English text with Japanese Audio, a thing the Collection doesn't because they are emulating the PS2 versions of the game. Again, it's just a thing but I do think X8 PC version was better made than X8 PS2 version and I played both.
What's the point of these collections when you can just emulate these games for free and use mods to fix the flaws and aging aspects of a handful of games? That's what I did with these games. Used mods to remove slowdown on the SNES games, make Mega Man X3 PS1 PAL into NTSC and use mods to make X4 - X6 subtitled and add QOL features. Besides, I am not supporting this because of the pixel scaling issues and the censorship with parts of X4's intro being dimmed when bright and the salute from the General being removed.

You can probably also emulate indie games for free, so why buy those?
Also, X DiVE has *potential* - but it's got nothing until they put in the Maverick Weapons. It's a critical element to the OG game design and it just doesn't work without that factor, imho.
They could have also added zero to the x challenge mode to mix it up more.
I own the X Legacy Collection for PS4 & Switch. A month ago I beat the entirety of the Megaman Zero/ZX Legacy collection.
X6 should've had its script fixed. at least they fixed the voice switch on X7 so you can hear the Japanese voices in-game and in cutscenes as intended...but that game should've been dubbed in Toronto in the first place just like all the other Capcom games of that era like RE0, DMC1, Onimusha 1, RE: Code Veronica, or going further back, RE2, RE3, Dino Crisis 1 and 2, even all the Mega Man Legends games ffs!
The maverick challenge is a mixed bag, its just a legalized MUGEN, the two Mavericks does not form a cohesive team for a player to grasp their attacl patterns
If you have never played the battle network games highly recommend the collection 🤙🏻 sweet video
This collection suffers from one fatal flaw (and a few other smaller flaws). It has poor scaling issues! Basically what that means is, the pixels aren't scaled correctly when displayed on a 1080p monitor using the type 1 screen stretch option (the standard 4:3 with black borders on each side). It has no interpolation at all, so the pixels are forced to be uneven and thus creates that ugly uneven stair case effect around most angled objects, including X himself. It even affects the title screens, making the fonts look more jagged and uneven than they should. There is no proper fix for this, unfortunately. The only work around, is if you you use a 1440p monitor and use type 2 screen stretch (which means an entire border all around your much smaller game screen...) it's capable of evenly scaling the vertical and horizontal pixels correctly then. :( I just ran Mega Man X 1, 2 and 3 via my retroarch setup just moments after trying out this collection and it's just so much better and smoother using emulation with retroarch. Capcom couldn't be bothered to make sure this wasn't an issue. It's a damn shame. As of now, emulating these games on your own, provides far superior results. For some reason, even the audio sounds better on retroarch. Like there's additional reverb or something. Sad about this. I submitted for a refund just now, since I only spent less than 2 hours finagling with the options and other external methods, to no avail.😥
Yes agreed. Love the collection overall but as someone who’s never played CM and enjoyed MHX, it makes me sad they didn’t include it! Also, Capcom not getting the license for “Moonlight” for X6’s opening hurts my emo punk hardcore soul lol the replacement sounds so generic.
Hey at least im not the only person who uses an xbox controller for mega man x
I don't agree about the separation. Well, except the Switch. That part was BS. There they sold them together and yeah, to save costs they only put the first on the disk and make you download the second. Which completely defeats the purpose of a physical release. But outside that, no I would not want to pay extra to have the 2 games combined. That's a waste of money. And, well, splitting it up does allow people to buy only the first collection, which is far superior. Doing it the way they did is kinda bad for Capcom because the second collection is so much weaker.

I'm just glad we got these games again. Although I would love to see X9 still, done in an SNES art style.
My only complaint was the input lag. It's very minor but noticeable at times. Enough to frustrate.
I wish they had an x to let you general location of hidden Items and or tips on how to find them. I thought the museum was boring no box or manual scans. Otherwise I really enjoyed both collections

You didn't go into details about input lag.
I also prefer the collections for the classic series as well, because its museum actually lets you fight bosses outside the game, which has helped me get better enough to not always play games with a weakness order. However, I stopped playing the games in both Classic and X collections because of the input lag. You still have moments with slowdown, you can't map the actions to every input (no matter what platform, unlike most games nowadays), and the input lag was infuriating for me. In my case with the Switch version, I feel enough lag on both docked and portable mode. And I know it's not the TV when the other games I have are more responsive. It sucks having these problems in what should be the most accessible way to play those games in 2023.

also for the snes games, 8:7 is correct however tvs back in the day only came in 1 format so the 8:7 squished down to 4:3 is correct and most developers were able to either expect that and compensate it to show correct (like the moon in crono trigger or the mortal kombat circle logo) and if memory serves the x7 and x8 games arent the ps2 counterparts but instead those 2 games are in fact the PC versions which is another ball of fun to unravel, and im not sure what they used for x4 to x6 as last i checked noone was able to dump any actual roms of any of the games aside from x1 to x3 so there was a lot of work done on these games just like the classic legacy collection 2 and the zero collection and the hybrid format im hearing for the battle network collection so... not just roms dumped into emulators and sold but rebuilds from the ground up

Don’t give anyone any flack for using the rewind feature in the first Legacy Collection. The first six Mega Man games were purposely made difficult so that consumers got value for the money spent. As such, they are unfairly difficult in a lot of situations. Stop shaming people for using a rewind feature. You’re not less of a gamer if you use rewind. I think it’s incredibly rude, ignorant and disrespectful to claim anyone’s less of a gamer if they happen to not want to deal with the inconsistent and oftentimes flat out evil difficulty of the original Mega Man games.

4:3 is the correct aspect ratio to display SNES games. If your emulator is displaying them in 8:7, it is either misconfigured or just a bad emulator.
Command Mission wasn’t in because X Collection only emulates the SNES games. X4-X8 were ported from the source code and run natively on PC. Command Mission probably was too difficult to get working and not part of the scope of the collection.
