10 Mega Man Games Coming To Switch In Single Package
Capcom is bringing the first and second Mega Man Legacy Collections to the Switch in a retail bundle.
The collections on Switch, which contain Mega Man titles one through 10, have exclusive features to the platform, including a rewind feature for difficult segments, challenge modes that remix stages, leaderboards, sound mode for listening to the music score, and a museum mode that gives behind-the-scenes insight into all the titles.
Both collections also have amiibo support in which scanning the Mega Man amiibo - regular or gold - unlocks 11 additional fan-made challenges that were exclusive to the first legacy collection on the 3DS. Amiibo unlock an unspecified number of additional challenges for the second collection.
At retail for $39.99, only the first collection is loaded into the cart. The second is available through a download code packaged in the case. The retail version also comes with an exclusive Mega Man 30th anniversary cleaning cloth. Both collections will be available to download separately at $14.99 for the first, and $19.99 for the second. The retail and digital collections launch May 22.

Our Take
If that cleaning cloth won't entice you to pick up this collection then I don't know what will. But seriously, at $4 per game this is a collection well worth owning, especially on a platform like the Switch.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription.

We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.

We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
