Capcom is set to deliver a treat for long-time fans with the upcoming Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection, officially targeting a Nintendo Switch release in 2026.
Originally unveiled in September, this comprehensive compilation marks the franchise’s anticipated return to modern hardware, preserving the innovative gameplay and storytelling that defined a generation of Nintendo DS-era RPGs. The collection was recently rated E10+ by the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB), highlighting key content descriptors such as "Fantasy Violence" and "Users Interact." According to the ESRB’s summary, Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection is a compilation of action role-playing games where players guide characters through futuristic environments, battling digital viruses and enemies.
The gameplay revolves around using strategic battle cards to activate diverse attacks, including energy blasts, physical strikes, bombs, ice blasts, and swords within turn-based arena battles.
The rating also notes that the in-game art gallery will display high-resolution artwork depicting scenes of robots being cut or impaled and characters with arrows, adding to the collection’s visual depth.
Series aficionado and Rockman Corner founder Protodude observed that while the original DS games earned an 'E' rating upon their initial release, the updated content and gallery material contributed to the new E10+ designation.
This ensures a slightly broader age bracket for a new generation of Mega Man fans while retaining the essence of the beloved series. Fans can look forward to an extensive package that covers all mainline entries and their respective alternate versions, including: - Mega Man Star Force Leo - Mega Man Star Force Dragon - Mega Man Star Force Pegasus - Mega Man Star Force 2 ZerkerxNinja - Mega Man Star Force 2 ZerkerxSamurai - Mega Man Star Force 3 Black Ace - Mega Man Star Force 3 Red Joker Developed by Capcom, the Mega Man Star Force series originally debuted on the Nintendo DS and quickly garnered a devoted following thanks to its unique blend of card-based combat and sci-fi narrative.
The collection’s arrival on the Nintendo Switch—and potentially the eShop—signals a continued commitment to celebrating Mega Man’s legacy and making these classic titles accessible to both newcomers and returning fans. In related ESRB activity, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond also appeared with a new rating ahead of its highly anticipated launch next month, making 2026 an exciting horizon for Nintendo Switch owners seeking flagship series revivals. With its ESRB approval secured, Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection is on track for release in 2026, promising an authentic experience that captures the spirit of the originals while bringing enhanced visuals and classic content to a modern audience.
