Just for those of you who don't know, I'll be doing Megaman Legends & Megaman 64 in separate reviews.

Graphics (9/10):

The graphics are basically top-margin for the N64, some graphical effects that weren't possible on the PS1 version are executed nicely here.  The game is, graphics-wise, easily one of the better-looking titles for the Nintendo 64.  The anti-aliasing on a lot of textures makes the game seem a lot smoother, and some graphical problems that plagued the PS1 version are fixed, but in place of that there are other graphic-wise problems such as the lack of the transparent text on the title, even though this makes the title text more readable as a side-effect.

Sound (8/10):

All of the sounds & voice clips from Megaman Legends are present, even though to fit the N64 cartridge all sounds were reduced in quality except for the musical instruments.  Since the N64 can't do reverb like the PS1, some music tracks don't sound exactly the same, but overall everything is on cue just about.  There's a little de-synch, though.  That doesn't ruin the experience.

The gameplay is perfectly preserved, though.  Just some slowdown in a few areas.


Sorry for the short review, but I'm a bit of a hurry.  At least they kept what the screenshot depicts.  The MegaMan or Hippopotamus scene.
