The X Saga is... Complicated. Some of its games went through a turbulent development and that ended up killing it, sadly. It has very good games, I love MHX, X4 and X8, some have weird systems like X5 but it's a fun game and curiously they also have quite good spinoffs like Command Mission and X-Treme duology. Luckily Megaman was resurrected thanks to the Legacy Collections, that opens up hope for X9 or an MHX2.
What I love about the Saga X is precisely, X and his friend Zero, I really like their relationship, the development that each one had from there and that even transcended until ZX. Personally, it brought me a tear to know that after so many tragedies, X's dream was fulfilled.
There is a Rockman 1 remake for PSP, it could be an option to experience the first game, although I don't really know anything about it. Man, Capcom sure did make a lot of remakes on PSP early years.

It probably had to be someone else, gameplay-wise, I just know the steel blade is broken in one of those games. Also, I always go for the boss who has the power that I like the most haha. That sometimes makes me fight bosses a bit fucked up using the base X-Buster.
Oh! His Japanese VA is the same as Chopper's!
Fair warning about the controls, but that is super common in games from that generation, it is rare to find a 3D game without weird controla or a strange camera. I wonder if Capcom would dare to do a Megaman Gems Collection like SEGA, a main game and a good load of spin-offs on a single disc, I mean, since they didn't include the spin-offs in the Legacy Collections...
I appreciate that in the Legacy Collections you can switch to the Japanese versions, the classic saga was very foolishly modified, it is something that is seen in the manuals, but X Saga was even more sullied. The whole background of the Counter Hunters was omitted.
I hope that Legends hasn't suffered that much, although as you say, it doesn't seem like that. For once the puns with Rock are maintained, in BN the pun of Rockman.exe and Lan was lost, since one was used by pressing R and the other L.
Thank you! While a lot of the difficulty comes from the game itself, the trophies aren't as wacky as some older remastered games. EHEM KH1 EHEM, but if there are some curious ones, like beating the X2's moth maverick without damaging its cocoon form or beating the Magma Centipede stage without taking damage from the alarm lights... Or cut Flame Mammoth's trunk hahaha.
The rookie mode can be used to make things easier, but once you use it even once per playthrough, certain trophies are locked and unobtainable on it. Personally, the X Challenges trophy is difficult, since you have to fight three battles against two Mavericks in a row, although it is very fun, the best fanservice. I wonder how it will work in the Zero/ZX collection.
