Been missing the Blue Bomber? Well, you’ll have to continue missing him, but at least the Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection is here to cover a few bases.
Available to purchase and download on Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch and PC, Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection brings together two whole series of games, pushing out all four Mega Man Zero titles, Mega Man ZX and Mega Man ZX Advent in order to deliver some old-school high octane action, as you help Zero save Neo Arcadia centuries after the events of the Mega Man X series.
As you would expect to hear, only by mastering some of the most challenging and thrilling boss battles ever will success be found, and the Zero games certainly bring that, building on the the fast-paced action platforming of the series before introducing new upgradable weapon skills, unique EX abilities, and gameplay-altering “Cyber Elves” that offer a wide range of enhancements.
And from there, Mega Man ZX and ZX Advent take the story and run with it, moving thing on a few hundred years and letting players start to experiment with their abilities throughout an open map.
That’s certainly not all though and features include:

consoles –
