It is the first game in the Mega Man Legends sub-series of Mega Man games from Capcom, and the second major 3D polygonal Mega Man title in the franchise, following Mega Man: Battle & Chase. It was released for the PlayStation in 1997 in Japan, and in 1998 in North America. A Nintendo 64 port was released in 2000 with the same title, but it was renamed Mega Man 64 for the North American release in 2001. It was also ported to Windows in 2001, and to the PlayStation Portable in 2005, the latter only in Japan. Its most recent release was as a PS one Classic on the North American PlayStation Network in 2015.

Where Mega Man Legends sits on the grid
The grid places every game in the catalogue on measured axes rather than on an opinion. This is where Mega Man Legends lands on each map it has the data for, with the share of the catalogue it beats on each axis.
- Year
- 55ahead of 10% of the catalogue
- Reach
- 16ahead of 65% of the catalogue
Percentiles are against the games that carry a reading on that axis, not the whole catalogue: counting a game with no figure as a zero would flatter everything that has one. How the grid works.
What readers say about Mega Man Legends
Reviews written by people who have played it. These are separate from the GamingPickz Score and are never averaged into it: that score comes from thousands of Steam reviews with a sample-size correction, and a handful of unverified ratings would distort it rather than improve it.
