Capcom has just announced that brand-new, and original mini games will be added to
Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection; justifying even more the game's delay, and bringing with it some new challenges for fans of the series to tackle.
According to the information revealed via the official
Capcom Unity blog, players will be able to play up to 20 unique new mini games in
Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection, which go from playing as different characters like Copy X and Hidden Phantom, to even test your knowledge about
Mega Man ZX Advent by taking a few pop quizzes.
Capcom also officially revealed a brand-new crossover illustration by Keisuke Mizuno, which sees Zero from
Mega Man X series and Zero from the
Mega Man Zero series together; an illustration that was shared last week in Japan, and even
had fans speculating that it could be a tease for a new game.
As per the entry on the Capcom Unity blog, the following are some of the challenging mini games that Capcom has officially revealed for
Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection:
Mega Man Zero 3
Copy X
As Copy X, you’ll be using thunder, fire, and ice elements in a pseudo-puzzle game. Use Copy X’s element-based shots to destroy panels on a conveyor belt. Seems simple enough, but you’ll have to remember which element is weak to which and change elements on the fly.
Hidden Phantom
The most elusive of Neo Arcadia’s Four Guardians steps out of the shadows for this one. You’ll need to make some nimble jumps from one shuriken to the next to reach your goal. The shuriken move, so watch where they are and make each leap count!
Mega Man Zero 4
“Elf Chase”
This game is particularly unique. Armed with only a lamp light, you’ll need to maneuver a Scrap Elf (an enemy from Zero 4) into a beam of light on the other side of the stage. It seems simple enough, but you’d be surprised how slippery your target can be! You’re under a strict time limit, so take care in how you move through the stage.
“Lava Surf”
In this challenging mini game, you’ll have to hot foot it across three separate platforms and put out rising flames. While you’ll earn bonus points for putting out fires before reaching the top, you can also lose time if you don’t keep your cool – literally! Avoid the flames and the lava below, and go for a high score.
Mega Man ZX
“Energy Converter”
This mini-game makes an appearance in the Area C-2 game room after you’ve completed the game. While it looks deceptively simple and can be a bit daunting at first, you’ll need to pair the falling jewels with a matching color beneath them. Give it a few rounds and you’ll be smashing jewels and enemies in no time!
Mega Man ZX Advent
“Quiz Advent”
Think you know everything there is to know about ZX Advent? This quiz will challenge how well you know the characters with three quiz types: the Zoom quiz, the Silhouette quiz, and the Gap quiz.
Six games, five heroes, and two series megamerge into one giant collection! Taking legendary Reploids into the far future, join Zero as he battles against the forces of Neo Arcadia, then witness the rise of a new generation looking to carve out their own story. Mega Man Zero / ZX Legacy Collection brings the intense action of Mega Man Zerothrough Mega Man Zero 4 as well as Mega Man ZX and Mega Man ZX Advent to modern platforms.
Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection will be available for the PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PC on the 25th of February in 2020.
