June 5, in the year of our Lord 2017 -- The
legacy continues, as Capcom today announced Mega Man Legacy
Collection 2, a collection of the iconic Blue Bomber’s four most
recent classic side-scrolling adventures, complete with several
all-new features. A follow up to Mega Man Legacy Collection,
which contained the series’ original 8-bit titles, Mega Man

the series. This collection will be available at retail for

titles: Mega Man 7 introduced mysterious rival Bass and his
companion Treble, while Mega Man 8 featured the series’ first
impressively animated and fully voiced cutscenes; Mega Man 9
