Capcom Announces Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection Release Date for Nintendo Switch and Consoles
Capcom has officially unveiled the release date for the anticipated Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection, which is set to launch on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on March 27, 2026.
This new collection represents a significant milestone for the Mega Man Star Force series, as it brings the beloved action RPG spin-off to home consoles for the first time since its original debut as a Nintendo DS exclusive. The Mega Man Star Force series, developed by Capcom, is a fan-favorite branch of the classic Mega Man franchise.
Originally released between 2006 and 2008 for the Nintendo DS, the series reinvented Mega Man’s action formula by incorporating RPG elements and grid-based, real-time combat.
Unlike the original platformer entries, Star Force introduced players to a world where action unfolds across a battle grid, mixing fast-paced action with strategic RPG commands. The Legacy Collection is a comprehensive package, compiling all seven Star Force titles: - Mega Man Star Force Leo - Mega Man Star Force Dragon - Mega Man Star Force Pegasus - Mega Man Star Force 2 Zerker x Ninja - Mega Man Star Force 2 Zerker x Saurian - Mega Man Star Force 3 Black Ace - Mega Man Star Force 3 Red Joker Notably, this marks the first time these games will be widely playable on modern home consoles, transitioning from their initial handheld-only format.
In enhancing the experience, Capcom is introducing several new features, including unified combat perspectives for a seamless play experience and improved accessibility.
Players can delve into an extensive concept art gallery, listen to their favorite tracks via a built-in music player, and compete with friends online in supported games—a nod to the series’ dedicated multiplayer community. In a recent statement shared across Capcom’s social media channels, the company emphasized that the collection not only preserves the legacy of the Star Force series but also introduces it to new audiences with upgraded visuals and extra features tailored for both newcomers and longtime fans.
The addition of online support and enhanced gallery content aims to celebrate the series’ history while making it relevant for today’s gaming landscape. Capcom’s continued commitment to reviving beloved franchises for current platforms has seen success in recent years, with previous collections and remasters enjoying commercial and critical acclaim.
The Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection builds on this momentum, providing Nintendo Switch owners and players across other platforms the definitive way to experience one of Mega Man’s most unique adventures. With the March 27, 2026 release date, anticipation is high for the return of Geo Stelar and his adventures in the digital world.
