It looks like gamers all around the world that cannot find a decent priced copy of Mega Man: Legends 2 (myself included) will soon get an opportunity to play this original PlayStation classic. The ESRB recently posted an update on this title’s rating and that it will be available for the PlayStation 3 and the PS Vita. Most of us missed the original launch dates for these titles – Mega Man: Legends alone is one year away from hitting twenty years old. That puts a lot of these classic titles out of reach for newer gamers. Thankfully, their release on the PlayStation Network helps get these titles into younger hands. This announcement also keeps my PS Vita viable seeing as there is no first-party support for the console at this time. Way to draw that console’s life span for a few more months, Sony.
This comes off the heels of the Capcom and Sony deal to make Mega Man: Legends and The Misadventures of Tron Bonne available to PlayStation owners. Unfortunately, the ESRB website only indicates that the title has been rated, with no hint to a release date. Hopefully Capcom will give us enough time to play through the other two titles just as a refresher. E3 would be a nice place for Capcom to announce this release, seeing as they may not have much on the docket this time around. Maybe if the game sells well they can get Keiji Inafune to finish the trilogy like originally planned. If Capcom can make a deal with Sony, why not Inafune?
