Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection[a] is an upcomingvideo game compilation based onCapcom'sMega Man series. It compilesemulated versions of all three entries in theMega Man Star Force series, originally released for theNintendo DS between 2006 and 2008. Like otherMega Man Legacy Collection entries, it also includes various enhancements and behind-the-scenes materials. The compilation is scheduled for a 2026 release onNintendo Switch,PlayStation 4,PlayStation 5,Windows,Xbox One, andXbox Series X/S.
Star Force Legacy Collection adapts the games' original dual-screen format for single-screen gameplay, with players able to adjust the screen layout and toggle a smoothing filter.[4][5][6] New difficulty and assist options have been added to aid players, such as an auto-save function, adjustable enemy encounter rates, and the ability to greatly increase the strength of Mega Man's buster, similar to "Buster MAX" mode inMega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection.[2][5] Players can trade cards online and battle one other in ranked or casual matches, thoughcross-platform play is not supported.[5][7][8] Up to 100 players can be registered to an in-game friends list, based on the series' "Brother Band" system.[5][9] In addition, players can access "bonus cards" which could only be obtained through special means in the original games, such as events and toys.[5] An art gallery and music player are also included.[7] All three games' soundtracks have been fully updated with new music arrangements, and the original and new soundtracks can be listened to in the music player or enabled during gameplay.[2] LikeBattle Network Legacy Collection, the main menu features an interactive Mega Man that reacts to the player's choices.[2]
Each of theStar Force games were originally released in multiple versions, all of which are included inStar Force Legacy Collection, for a total of seven games.[10]
