The Japanese Mega Man Twitter account revealed that combined sales for the Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection have surpassed a million units worldwide. Since the game came out on April 14, 2023, that means it achieved this milestone in about two weeks. This figure includes both digital and physical sales.
Sales for the Legacy Collection have always been strong since its release. On April 21, 2023, Famitsu revealed that Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection had sold over 60,000 units across the Switch and PS4. With over a million sales, that means that the Legacy Collection can already count as a platinum title. This isn’t the first time that a Mega Man title in this series made the list. For example, as of December 2022, Battle Network 4 is #79 with 1.35 million units sold.
As the name of the game implies, this is a compilation of Battle Network titles over the years. It contains all ten mainline games from the series, including the different versions. Western players will also, for the first time, have access to previously Japan-exclusive Patch Cards. There is also a new Buster Max Mode to trivialize normal battles.
Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection is readily available on the PS4, Nintendo Switch, and Windows PC via Steam. You can read our review of it here.
