Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection · published
Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection is out now! Six games, including all four Mega Man Zero games and both Mega Man ZX games Megamerge into one excellent collection along with tons of bonus features, including the thrilling Z Chaser mode!
The Mega Man Zero Games
Set far in the future after the Mega Man X games, join Zero as he wakes up from a long slumber to uncover fragments of his forgotten past. With the help of the brilliant scientist Ciel, you’ll take up your Z Saber to put an end to the oppressive rule of Neo Arcadia’s vicious leader – and uncover a much deeper plot as you progress through each game. Learn more about what happened to characters like X as you go, and discover terrifying foes like Omega and the twisted Dark Elf. Play well and keep your rank high, and you’ll face tougher bosses – but also earn greater rewards and new abilities when you defeat them!
The Mega Man ZX Games
Hundreds of years later, humans and Reploids have finally started to live in peace… until an age-old threat rears its ugly head once again. Across both games, you’ll learn about a new generation of heroes and villains that have their own unique power: the ability to Megamerge with powerful artifacts from a bygone era known as Biometals. Drawing on the power of heroes from the past, take on new forms to defeat your foes – including the forms of certain bosses you best in combat!
Z Chaser
Alongside all six games, you’ll also get access to a new mode created just for Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection: Z Chaser. This unique speed-run mode challenges you to finish stages as fast as possible! Along with playing across multiple stages head-to-head in local versus, you’ll also be able to access online leaderboards to race against ghost data from rivals all across the world!
Modern Classics
A new “Casual Scenario” option can be turned on for each game, reducing difficulty and adding a variety of helpful features for players of any skill level and those who want to enjoy the story. If you don’t have much time to play, the “Save-Assist” feature will place helpful checkpoints throughout each game, making it easy to pick up where you left off or tackle a tough section without losing a bunch of progress. The power of how you want to play is in your hands!
Speaking of, there are multiple visual filters to switch between at any time. Stick with the original pixels, or switch to a smoothing filter for a more modern visual feel. There’s also a CRT filter for a nice retro look! Multiple screen layouts are also available for the Mega Man ZX games, allowing you to customize the look and feel of each game.
There’s also an in-game gallery with hundreds of pieces of artwork from all six games (plus a few bonus pieces), and a music player with tunes from all six games (and new tracks made just for this collection). You’ll also have access to international versions of each game! Plus, original hardware features have been faithfully re-created, including Bonus Cards for Mega Man Zero 3 that unlock by playing through each game in the collection and Link Mode, which brings bosses from Mega Man Zero 3 and 4 into Mega Man ZX for some throwback throwdowns.
What’re you waiting for? Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection is available now!
