It's a fun add-on, but not remarkably good. Not essential imo.

If you're getting a switch, it's definitely worth playing.

I almost feel like BotW and then TotK in too compressed a time span might burn someone out. Skyward Sword is on Switch too btw

If you need something to tide you over, Advance freakin' Wars is out next week. I've been waiting 15 years for a new installment (yeah it's a remake installment, but whatever, I'll take it at this point). Get it! These games rock!

I have been waiting almost two years for this. Between the Pixel Remastered and this, I am soooo hyped right now.


That doesn't even bring Zelda into it, which I am also excited for (though likely won't be buying on release)

The physical release of Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection fixed my biggest gripe with MM and MMX Legacy Collections - it's now both Volumes on one cartridge and no more of the "use this download code for half the collection" nonsense.

I'm a good ways into MMBN1 and the game runs smooth and it's still really fun combat system. There's an easy mode if you need it, and the online battle functionality is pretty cool. I'm not a fan of the font they chose for dialogue in the collection...it looks like a typewriter font which is kinda weird for a future-focused game. You can turn off the "smoothing" they use on the graphics which is nice. It was a bit aggressive for my liking.

Got part way through checkout, and then the site went into "we're offline". Seems to be coming back but my cart is empty and it's out of stock. Oh well.

This is all with respect to the collector’s edition? Just out curiosity, what is the appeal?

I really like the art book and the oversize box.

Only issue with the FF6 pixel remaster is the damn font.

Didn't they fix/give additional options for it?

They changed the font to look less like a cheap mobile game, but it's still not great. There's still a ton of wasted space in the dialog boxes and menus because they're obsessed with this smaller text size.

EDIT: Here's a picture of it.

Spoiler!


EDIT 2: Here's a picture of a PC mod that matches the text to the numbers.

Spoiler!
