I think they should release these "enhanced" ports on the PS3/PS4 as well, like they did with FF7. Supposedly the new FF9 release on Steam is pretty top notch. I'd just rather have these options on consoles too.

I picked up the physical version of the Mega Man Legacy Collection for PS4 (is now under $20 on Amazon) and I almost feel bad for how bad it's sold given the price drop. It has some nice goodies on the physical side - like a soundtrack download and some cool cards (one of which is a cheatsheet for the bosses).

Agreed, I really can tell a difference with its performance compared to the emulated ports on the PS2 collection, and all the extras are very nice. Plus, I don't miss 7-8 missing from it. It's an awesome collection.

I can still see how some were upset though. This is 20 some years later, Capcom could have put together some omega collection at a higher price with all the mainline games, X, and Zero. That would have been gangbusters.

That's pretty wild. It already was ported to the Wii and PSP. I enjoyed it.

That's cool. Didn't even know it was released on PC back in the day. Had a bit of a hard time searching for it on GOG.com....... It's filed under D: The Game.

yeah. Coincidentally I bought the DOS version off of Amazon back when we did it for TR this past year. Otherwise I'd be all over this re-release.

Battlezone! Happy days!

Seriously, that game was amazing. Highly recommended. Kind of a Descent meets RTS hybrid that was excellent in both categories.
