With more polish the ML games could have been better than Zelda. Sony/Capcom could have had a Zelda killer on their hands.

At the time Mega Man Legends released the series was only known for action platformers where you fight 8 robot masters and gain their powers. It was too different from the series' usual identity to ever really gain that traction, and it's part of why the game used to be considered one of the worst 2D to 3D conversions before it was reevaluated years later.
I actually think a remaster in the vein of the Crash and Spyro ones would do the game wonders today, since Mega Man as a brand has gone to way fucking weirder places and it's got a reputation as a cult classic now. It's just a matter of Capcom bothering to sink money on a gamble like that.

A re-release of 1-2-Misadventures in HD would be a start. Then finish 3 for Switch.

interesting claim, because Capcom devs did actually make Zelda games and they were good.

I think it would have been better received if they kept the 8 Robot masters style. They hinted this at 2 a bilt. 8 Robot masters, 8 dungeons.

I think the dungeons were Legend's weakest link in comparison to OoT and MM which is what these games were contemporary with.
8 MML-tier dungeons would have made the already tiresome dungeons that much more monotonous. MML2 was a huge improvement over the first one mind you, the first game all the dungeons were identical very one note, made going into the digs a not so exciting prospect when you knew it was nothing but dingy hallways with mobs to kill inside them. MML2 meanwhile took ques from Zelda and gave each of the dungeons a basic theme, you had the fire dungeon, the water dungeon, the jungle dungeon, the ice dungeon, ect and that was a little better, but they never incorporated well thought out unique puzzles like Zelda games did, especially with the huge multi-level and multi-room 3D head scratchers you'd find in MM, MML2 was still very basic by comparison.
Is there room for an other Zelda like game where you explore dungeons but instead of a sword it's primarily a third person shooter? I think there is, but MML and MML2 didn't sell very well and the cult following for these games remains small. Meanwhile OoT and MM are still beloved by millions to this day.

You don't really need them MML and MML2 have PC versions that are still playable today. It only supports 4:3 but you can change the resolution through the .ini file.
Tron Bonne never left the PSX as far as I know though.

I know how to play the games dipshit. Re-releases are to support the series, and to expose it to new people. There's tons who don't emulate on PCs and just wanna play on Switch or PS4.
Justin Price
they didnt need to polish the game more they needed to release the fucking sequels
Aiden Sanders
>e. There's tons who don't emulate on PCs
No, native PC versions, the game was ported back in the day to PC. No emulation required.
Came in a big box and everything.
