The MegaMan Legends Collection Proposal

[lbd_nytetrayn]

In the year 2006, war was beginning.

But amidst the rumblings of the rise of a new generation of video game consoles, a group of fans were looking into gaming's past as they hoped it might give rise to a new chapter in the future.

For the story of my pitched proposal to Capcom for a MegaMan Legends Collection and how it went down, check out my newest article.

And if you support the idea, or even MegaMan Legends itself, then please be sure to tell Capcom about it as well via the information provided at the bottom.

To make this miracle happen, all we need is a little support, and a lot of luck. It wouldn't take much time or effort to make your voice heard, so what have you got to lose?

And if you really support the idea, help spread the word to fellow gamers! Let's ALL tell Capcom what we want!

A Legends Collection would be so awesome, even though I already have the three PlayStation games (AND the N64 port, too!). But, I'd buy it even if it was bare-bones, just to show support for Legends.

I would like to see a Wii version, as the possible new control scheme would be incentive to play the games over again. But would Capcom be willing to put in that kind of effort (or perhaps, outsource the effort)?

The same problem lies for adding Rockboard. Game was never in English before, which would require some translation work.

Still, can't say I'm against any of the suggestions. It all sounds good. But it all comes down to Capcom feeling it worth it to pursue.

Ideally, the port of Legends would have the smoother graphics of MegaMan 64, and the higher-quality sound of MegaMan Legends...


But, yeah, I'll do my part to support this idea. I'll still annoyed the PSP ports didn't come here (even though I lack a PSP...).

I think a DS game/Collection might be neat, too. ;P

Dr. Cossack seems to think that Rockboard never was ported due to the fact that it involves gambling. If that is the case, I can see it being a problem, still, for an all-ages game.

Maybe, but the gambling bit, such as it was, was ruled out because of Nintendo's old precautionary measures back in the day...

Gambling doesn't seem to be so much of a problem with NOA now (see: Pokémon and Clubhouse Games as a couple of examples).

Doesn't Mario Party involve a little wagering now and again...?

Ya know, I once had a dream that I was playing a Legends DS...

But, this again comes to the problem that it'd require effort to bring the Legends series to the DS...
And Capcom might not be willing to put that kind of effort into a series that hasn't been very profitable...

I think a Legends Collection on PS2 (and maybe GameCube, too) would be the best way to test the waters on investing in the series again.
PS2, for the massive install base, and the fact the games were already on PS, so minimal changes would have to be made.
GameCube, because Nintendo seems to be Megaman's home, huh? I mean, I've heard the GameCube versions of the last two collections sold better (although, I'd like to see some sales figures to prove this, one way or the other). Plus, it'll still be something good for Wii owners to pick up (perfect backwards compatability, ya know?)

[lbd-nytetrayn.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but at this point, I don't think anything else is coming for GameCube... I mean, even Super Paper Mario was moved...

And yeah, I figure with most of the Mega Man stuff coming out on Nintendo, it'd probably sell better there because that's where the fanbase is.

Nothing'll happen. Capcom just doesn't care.

It's like asking for Sonic the Hedgehog 4. :\

[lbd-nytetrayn.livejournal.com]

Then at least I did all I could.

Indeed you did, and quite the valiant effort it was.

[lbd-nytetrayn.livejournal.com]

Thanks. :)
