Nintendo 64

Mega Man Legends

Those who missed out on the PlayStation version could still find a good bit of entertainment value here, but this dated title simply can't compete on the same level as current software.

Behold, all Nintendo 64 owners, Capcom has decided to grace the aging console with its coveted Mega Man franchise. Smart thinking indeed, for any Mega Man game is likely a good one, as PlayStation enthusiasts can no doubt attest. And Mega Man 64 seems to have all the makings of a hit. First and foremost, it stars everyone's favorite cartoon-ized hero complete with 3D makeover. But more importantly, there is adventure to be had, puzzles to be solved and, in traditional form, many, many enemies to be blown to bits. The only problem is that all of these goodies were delivered to PlayStation owners three years ago in the same game -- and even then it wasn't all that impressive. By today's standards, as we approach the end of the Nintendo 64 and the beginning of GameCube, this drab port of Mega Man Legends is nothing, if not laughably outdated.

Heure du bilan : un cocktail de mauvais goût qui réunit tous les ingrédients d'un jeu à ne pas acheter, sachant qu'une cartouche sur la 64 bits de Nintendo coûte quand même entre 450 et 500 francs, ça s'appelle du racket. Bref, pour les fans de Mega-Man, passez votre chemin. Pour les autres, faites de même.
