Mega, man!
I guess adding seven games in a single day wasn’t enough for Microsoft’s backward compatibility service. They needed to round off the number so it wasn’t odd and I’m perfectly fine with the choices they made.Mega Man 9,Mega Man 10, andBeat’n Groovyare now accessible on Xbox One for owners of the digital titles.

While theLegacy Collectionwas a great package, I’m still baffled that Capcom didn’t go the extra mile and include the remaining fourMega Mangames. I could maybe understand7and8not being added, but how were9and10left out? Those were both made to specifically replicate the NES style of games (they were based offMega Man 2for crying out loud!).
Well, at least you can now play them on your modern console of choice, if that choice happens to be an Xbox One. Then again, you can play them on Wii U if you owned the eShop releases, which I opted for back in the day to totally replicate the crappy quality of the 240i NES display. Ah, memories.
