Tokyo Game Show 2025 has kicked off, and with it, people’s first impressions with the hands-on demo of Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection are starting to come in.
A big thank you to our friend Race, who played the demo and shared his observations! We’ve included some of his photos in this post with his permission. Note that these are off-screen photos, so the appearance may vary when playing on your own device.
- Just like Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection, the main menu screen for Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection will feature a 3D Mega Man. He will do some animations if you leave the game idle, and pressing LB triggers some random dialogue between Geo and Mega.
- There are various screen layout options available:
- Both screens stacked vertically, with the active screen shown larger.
- Both screens shown side-by-side, with the active screen shown larger.
- The active screen shown in the center, with the inactive screen small and off to the side.
- Both screens rotated 90 degrees, aka ‘tate mode’. This allows you to play the game using a rotated display or a Flip Grip with the original DS screen layout.
- The game selection screen allows you to choose from each game version, with MMSF2 still bundled as Zerker x Ninja and Zerker x Saurian. The screen has placeholder stars for each game version, with MMSF2’s dual versions having two stars each, so this likely tracks which games you have completed.
- For MMSF1, the intro cutscene has been reworked for a single screen.
- In MMSF1, the On Air option has been removed from the Transer menu.
- Pulsing into things in MMSF1 has been reworked to remove the need for touch controls. Pressing the Y Button allows you to choose from the available targets on screen, and pressing the A Button will then pulse into that target.
- The free camera option lets you view basically the whole map without having to move Geo.
- In MMSF1, you can no longer design your own Face Pic for your Brother profile. Instead, you can now choose from any of the character portraits used across all three games, including many variations such as Mega Man’s various forms.
