  • I think that is a bit the conceit of the collection: classic games in looks / features, but taking into account the progress that has been made in game design and mechanics. I actually prefer it this way, like an alternate timeline in which computers didn’t get more powerful and people were forced to iterate on ideas within these constraints.

    I’ve only just started today, so these are my first impressions of the initial 10 games:

    • Barbuta: such a strange little game! First impression is very hostile and strange, but it keeps luring me in with it’s puzzle-like complexity. Discovering new stuff in this one is super satisfying.
    • Bug Hunter: seems interesting, but did not want to hurt my brain with the strategy aspect, so on hold for now
    • Ninpek: precision platformer auto-scroller, I am really bad at this so not really for me
    • Paint Chase: amazing little game, really fun paint battler with cool powerups
    • Magic Garden: this one got its hooks in me, a great twist on snake and pacman with a risk-reward mechanic. Highly recommend!
    • Mortol: this is so creative! Still at the start, but using your own body as a tool to be used by your next “lives” is amazing.
    • Velgress: made me think of playing Doodle Jump on my Nokia Slider phone, good times.
    • Planet Zoldath: spend literally 1 minute in this, something on a planet, then my brain wanted another impulse :)
    • Attactics: really cool, sort of real time strategy game. I really like it, but feel like I need to play it more to understand the strategies better.
    • Devilition: chain reactions of blowing up demons! Quite a head-scratcher, but really satisfying when you start your demolition and everything goes as planned!

  • I’m currently downloading Mega Man Legacy Collection on my 2DS. Any tips for a complete newcomer to the series? I know that you have different stages, each with a different boss, and that you are allowed to do them in any order. You receive powerups from the bosses you’ve defeated right?

    Maybe a recommended order for the first game?

    Thanks for the suggestion!
