Mega Man Legacy Collection contains the first Mega Man game through Mega Man 6. It also includes a new Rewind function to let players undo and retry any mistakes; this will be made available to owners of the PlayStation 4, Windows PC and Xbox One versions. Its sequel features the remaining four Mega Man games released as of August 2017, when the compilation launched on PS4, Windows and Xbox One.
Other than the Switch ports and Mega Man 11 — the first new game in the series since 2010 — Capcom also announced that it has a collection of all eight Mega Man X titles in the works. That will launch on Nintendo Switch as well as all other current-gen consoles.
