Yeah, I don't see a reason why they can't include all 10, especially since it looks like a another digital release, which they've been doing quite a bit lately with some remasters. I'd rather see a new Megaman game that comes out for all platforms instead of this.
Unfortunately, you may be right about that, seeing how bare bones it is, even though they cant even include 7 or 8 along with the rest of their games. I think they're really trying to play it safe right now with stuff like this.Yeah, I don't see a reason why they can't include all 10, especially since it looks like a another digital release, which they've been doing quite a bit lately with some remasters.

I'd say it's a straight port of the PS2 Anniversary Collection. Minimal effort and basically free money for them.

You guys.
Frank Cifaldi is involved. The guy who ran Lost Levels, a renowned video game historian and preservationist, and all around cool guy. He's definitely making sure the games will be up to par.
This is not a port of the PS2 collection. This is something else.
And yes I had my doubts until Frank was revealed as being involved in this. There's no way this is going to be a shoddy DotEmu-styled port. Not with him around.
(The heck is HD flair?).
And yes the lack of a Wii U version is weird but something tells me they didn't want to step on Nintendo's Virtual Console moneys.

But there's going to be a 3DS version and most (maybe all 6 now, I don't remember) of the NES Mega Man games are on the 3DS Virtual Console already.
Why would anyone want this when they could get 1-8 and a bonus game for less on the Mega Man Collection?

To be fair, that is two generations removed. I understand what they are doing by releasing these to new systems, they just don't seem to be putting much effort into it.
So this collection is going have all MM except 9 & 10?

It's Capcom...they don't put much effort into anything these days. Mostly HD cash-ins on old titles and a (from all accounts) horrific port of Ultra Street Fighter IV for the PS4.
For me, regardless of price-this is a lazy port-job. Not because of how the games may/may not run, but because it's only the first six games. Why not all 10?
I think it has to do with their public image going downhil after their DLC on disc problems and cancelling Mega Man games a while back, and that people want to see new stuff or fix problems in currently ongoing franchises, such as Resident Evil. The other problem too is that all of their content is digitally released with the only options for physical copies are usually in Asia/Japan, and that's a problem if a game of theirs is on a region-locked system like the 3DS. I'm hoping they do announce some new projects at TGS .Why would anyone want this when they could get 1-8 and a bonus game for less on the Mega Man Collection?

I don't understand the hate for Capcom. Yeah, it looks like this collection is going to be sub-par, but RE HD was a really good port where they added some nice features - most notably the option to not use tank controls. The 2 DMC ports they're doing both have a ton of content added. Yeah, I know, these ARE all ports but I wouldn't call them lazy - they're really putting effort into making these shine. I'm ok with that. They've announced that they're working on some new stuff, so maybe they're just gonna wait until the Tokyo Game Show to pull those out? Who knows.
Anyway, I know of a lot of companies that deserve more grief than Capcom does.
EDIT: And from my understanding, Sony was responsible for getting SF4 onto the PS4 & they chose a crappy dev to do the port.

Yaay, the Mega Man Legacy Collection will now receive physical releases on the PS4, Xbone, and 3DS! ;D The game is releasing August 25th digitally on consoles, and the 3DS and physical releases will be available some time early in 2016. The digital versions will cost $14.99, while the physical versions will cost $29.99 each (probably $34.99 or more for Canada :-\).

Why is the physical copy coming out after the digital? You'd think they would release it side by side.
I have no problem paying $30 for a physical copy of a game. If it's good, I'll drop the change.
What sucks is that there was more on the GameCube version of this than the PS4 version. Would it have killed them to put all the Mega Man games on there? 9? 10?

^^This. I loathe digital-only games. Some people love them, some are indifferent, etc. But me, I'm not spending the cost of a retail game on what is the equivalent of a digital fart.
This problem isn't just Capcom's, many companies do it. I've bought Ratchet & Clank Quest for Booty and Infamous First Light import copies because I wanted these great games on a damn disc. I'm mulling over importing the Resident Evil Remake and Rain for the PS3 right now.
Not to mention, internet isn't 100% stable and even less when you live in a rural area like me. If that shiny LTE tower down the road gets hit by lighting-BAM! No internet for me. At that point, digital download titles go kaput. Nah, I'm good.
I completely agree with this, and I've imported several games over the past year or so for this very reason. My biggest issue, besides the fact that I don't feel like you actually own the games because you're dependent on other services staying up to be able to access them, is that they are tied to your account. My wife and I both game, and she has her own systems. If we have a physical game & she wants to play it, she grabs the disk & plays it. If it's digital then it's tied to my account, so that basically means picking up a second copy.
BTW, the RE HD Asian version is excellent, I definitely recommend it. I have been disappointed with a couple I imported tho - neither Okami HD & Resident Evil Chronicles HD run from the disk, they require you to install the games to your hdd. I prefer them to run straight from the disk to save on space.
