Capcom aims to hit 2018 with all the nostalgia it can muster for the Blue Bomber's resurgence. Mega Man X Legacy Collection 1 and 2, which we reported on last year, will be hitting the PC, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox One this summer as part of the 30th anniversary of Mega Man. Mega Man X Legacy Collection 1 will include Mega Man X, X2, X3, and X4 while the second collection will feature X5, X6, X7, and X8. Mega Man X Legacy Collection 1 and 2 have received something of a remaster treatment from Capcom. The retro games all have cleaned up sprites with or without smoothing and CRT filters that the developers have included. X7 and X8, games that took the X series into 3D, have been given a new coat of paint to provide the best visual experience while remaining true to the original games. Each game can be played in its original resolution, full screen with the original aspect ratio, or in widescreen. Both collections contain a slew of goodies that fans of the series might find really interesting. Both collections include The Day of Σ, a short video that was shipped with Maverick Hunter X (a remake of Mega Man X for the PSP) and details the origins of Sigma and his chaotic legion of robotic Mavericks, serving as something of a prelude to the events in Mega Man X. Each collection also includes a digital museum full of Mega Man X history including hi-res trailers for each game in the series. Each collection also comes with a soundtrack that encompasses the soundscape of each game in the series (along with a few Collection specific tunes and remixes). A challenge mode called X Challenge will also be included in the X Legacy Collections. The mode tests the mettle of Mega Man fanatics by putting them up against two bosses at a time armed with up to three bonus weapons. The boss rush mode will include online leaderboards for players to compare times and vie for high scores. Both Mega Man X Legacy Collections will release on July 24. A retail bundle that includes both will be available on Xbox One, PS4, and Switch. The version for Xbox One and PS4 will include discs for both collections while the Switch version will have a cartridge for the first collection and a digital code for the second. All of this will help Capcom build hype for Mega Man 11 which releases later this summer. View full article -

In the year 21XX, Mega Man was reborn as Mega Man X, a robotic bounty hunter taking on the robo-criminals of the future. The X series spanned three console generations before its final entry in 2005 with Mega Man X8. Next summer all eight games will be available for the first time on modern systems (there was a Mega Man X Collection on the GameCube and PlayStation 2, but it only included the first six games of the series). While more information has been promised in the next several months, there are definitely still some questions. Capcom has made a habit of releasing some robust collections, breaking up the mainline Mega Man series into two packages. The Mega Man Legacy Collection included the first six games of the franchise, followed by The Mega Man Legacy Collection 2, which held Mega Man 7-10. Does this mean X will get a similar treatment with X 1-4 as one bundle and X 5-8 as another? Or perhaps all in one bundle? It also isn't outside the realm of possibility that Capcom might see fit to release them all individually. However Capcom decides to do it... MORE MEGA MAN X! That's always a good thing. Look forward to seeing X on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC sometime next summer. View full article
