User Reviews
Poor optimization, choppy and laggy. Input lag makes dash wall jump impossible.
No WASD for movement
Horrible port. Mediocre, absurdly awful. The emulation engine it uses is absolute garbage, and the game runs like complete shit. It runs at 50% speed, it's sluggish, and it's plagued with frame drops. **THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT THIS ISSUE**, AND CAPCOM DOES ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT IT. CHANGE THE FUCKING EMULATION ENGINE! How is it even possible that Mega Man Legacy Collection 1 and 2, as well as Mega Man 11, run perfectly fine for me, but this piece of garbage port runs so fucking disgustingly bad?
It's good.
I love the saga and won't refund so I have the "true rights" of possessing the game. But my whole time "played" at the moment was just troubleshooting. The game is so slow it's UNPLAYABLE.
