Mega Man Legacy Collection 1 and 2 Coming to Nintendo Switch
Just announced on stream, Legacy Collection 1 and 2 are headed to Nintendo Switch in Spring 2018 with Amiibo support. It's unknown at the moment if both games will be sold together or individually.
As much as I like Amiibo, if it means that I can't play something specific without the Switch, I'm not a fan. At least, Coop wasn't exclusive to the Wii U for Shovel Knight forever (I think).
It would be one thing if it was a bonus that literally only Nintendo could have like HD Rumble or perhaps a Capcom/Nintendo collaboration game which couldn't go anywhere else (see Minish Cap or Bionic Commando's GBC game), but if it is a mode like Co-Op or a whole game, we aren't gaining when it wouldn't have been hard to include those for all platforms.
Agree, it would kind of suck if they locked a game behind one particular platform, but at least it would be a Nintendo platform in this case. Not to mention they don't necessarily have to lock & Bass behind Switch. Could well be released as an update/DLC on the other consoles.
A line of Megaman amiibo sounds intriguing. More so than those Resident Evil amiibo they were planning anyway. Let's see a full set of MM1 robot masters, eh?

ReplyDeleteIt does kind of suck to lock features behind consoles, but I think it's okay in Nintendo's case.
DeleteWould be great if this included Mega Man & Bass as well!

DeleteAnd I for one can't wait! I really hope they are physical Switch cards and not download only. :(
