I love that Tronne's first idea on saving Tiesel is to actually pay back the debt and not just using the cash to deck out her armor/weapns and bust him out herself.

That "I really hate saying the word "Digger" " part REALLY caught me off guard 😂

Johnny dancing to 80's music is both hilarious and oddly hypnotic.

Hearing the gameplay being Tron literally ransacking every house and bank for riches, essentially made me think “Is this Mega Man’s take on Wario Land?”

I like to think the Sloth Stat is the reason why a Servbot is playable in MvC2. It's all part of Tron's torture routine.

Johnny's laugh after he said he was tired of saying digger almost made me lose it. lol.

My first time seeing the Legends series...I found it at a flea market. I saw Megaman on the front and immediately asked my dad for it. I knew literally nothing about it, didn't know it existed prior, didn't even know what it looked like except for screenshots in the back. It was love at first sight.

I’m in my 50s now. Started in the Atari Age. But Megaman cemented my love for video games. I love this series. I had never a PlayStation. So playing most of the 90s Megamans I had to rely on my friend to keep things going. Legends was not on my radar at first. My friend had bought it a few weeks after release and asked if I would try it. I refused. Third person was relative new and experimental. It was the hot shit for a new generation of gamers. I liked my games 2D, but I also saw the industry evolve and knew that third person would become the next step. But that tech had so much problems and troubles, I feared they would butcher the blue bomber. But a year later I gave it a shot. The controls were shit and the usual problems of early third person were very present. Plus it was completely different as the Classic and X series. Played until the boss fight in the canyon and quit. On a garage sale in 2010 I got my hands on all three games of the Legends series. Emulator on and I played through it. Controls remain shit, but I also could appreciate the World Building, the connected dungeon and the RPG system. The Bonnes were a highlight and the humor was good. Still, I think the game came way to early. Would it come out a few years later we’re Standards were set it would be much better.

The best days are the days Johnny uploads.

Absolutely crazy just how hard they made the final challenge to max out a Servbot’s speed stat. You basically need lightning reflexes to make all the lunch orders in time.

I know it's a small thing, but Johnny shouting out my name gave me so much giddy! Really made my day.

Back in the day, we had gaming cafes (there's like a dozen TVs and PS1s and you pay to play per hour; just bring your own memory card). I discovered Mega Man Legends in one such place. Some dude was playing Legends 2 and the cafe had Legends 1 too so I gave it a try. I'm so happy I did!

Currently doing a playthrough of Legends 1 and absolutely enjoying it, I’m up to the point where I got the Red Refractor Shard, the game is oozing with soul the low poly PS1 aesthetic is extremely charming, early 3D games are so special and unique of what they were trying at the time.

Back in the Nintendo Power Mag days, my six year old self was captivated by the 3 or so pages dedicated to this game with those anime illustrations of helmetless Mega Man and Roll. I remember receiving this as a gift for graduating kindergarten and it blew my tiny mind. I never beat it as a kid, but adored it and played it to no end nonetheless.

Tron and the rest of the gang are one of those characters that need to make a comeback. And not just in MvC. She and her servbots in particular are just so fun that it would be cool to see them playable again in... oh I dunno... *coughmegamanlegends3cough* sorry, I'm allergic to underutilized potential.

Man I love Tron Bonne, just the aesthetics, music and gameplay variations make it an unique experience.

Tron Bonne has always been my favorite mega man character since I first played her in MvC2 something about her design is so perfect to me and her personality is so fun I love her

I will forever be baffled that GLYDE got a counterpart in Battle Network. And even then he's uh there.

I never knew this game existed until years later when the great Clement did it in his let's play of the game. And now I wish I had played at least a good amount of it before the purging of the series happened...... Again capcom still waiting on that legends legacy collection lol. I do agree that Tron looks like she's in her element when she's dressed up in her scientist gear and the Serve bots definitely earn their keep of why they are so adorable.

This is the first time in a while that johnny has his theme opening out without a sponsor

Was not expecting Johnny to upload so soon but it is a welcomed surprise.

This game was a part of my childhood! The voice acting, the charm and the missions, it was all there!

*Wow what a cool and underrated game I wonder how muc-* My lord is this a game or a down payment for a car!?

I first heard of MML when I saw an article of it in a gaming magazine that I think my brother had. I didn't really read the article, but I was instantly sold on 'megaman but in 3d.' Legends turned out to not be a traditional megaman game in 3D but I still loved it.

To be honest, back then I only knew about megaman legend because a friend of mine had The Misadventures of Tron Bonne, and we kinda loved this game. We didn't even had the slightest idea it was part of the megaman serie. (we were young XD)

I know it's a minor aspect, but god I really love the character designs and art style of the Legends series. It just ticks all the boxes for me.

Tron is so cute while being bumbling evil.

“It’s Troning time “ - Tron Bonne

Tron noncholantly standing while the servbot gets crushed is killing me

i always thought this game was between legends 1 and 2 as Megaman put a big hurting on their wallets from all the mechs he destroyed

10:00 The Tom scream really got me there. Perfect sound clip to use.

That line from Capcom execs refers to why we got MOTB here in the West. Legends 1 DID sold really well. It has that neon green label because it sold 250k copies or more, way more than the X series in the same system. Also, the first game IN JAPAN, sold slowly. The cover and demo included in RE2 demo did not help. It was a different demographic. Legends 1 eventually got covered and compared to OoT, which is why it sold here well. In Japan it got an updated rerelease when the NA date arrived with a new cover and it did MUCH better.

I'm feeling inspired to draw Tron with her look-a-like someday in the future Also "Jason, I know it's you" 😂

Everything johnny uploads, my day gets better

The Misadventures of John Bonne: A game about Johnny moving back to philly

So happy you covered this game, i really loved the heck out of it as i did the other 2 Megaman Legends. Really one of the franchises that defined my childhood.

I always disregarded this game based on the title and the spin-off nature, but this looks incredibly charming. If the Legends series can get a collection in the vain of the rest of the series, I really wanna see this with the Legends 1 and 2.

It’s crazy to think that Capcom used to milk Megaman in many different incarnations and now he’s not getting any job. Poor dude is homeless and holding a sign that says “will work for e-tanks”

Love how John has slowly but surely get more sick of our shit LOL

I learned about it when I went to blockbuster and said "whoa a new megaman, I gotta get this!"

I first learned about Legends by reading a walkthrough of the 64 version on a Nintendo magazine At the time, I thought it looked amazing, mind-blowing, just by seeing those cropped photos of the screen Took me 20 years until I'd play it, though... but it's a beautiful worthwhile experience

Megaman Legends was actually my introduction to Megaman as a whole. Kind of a weird entry point, I'm aware. My daycare back when I was a kid had a copy of Megaman 64 among a collection of N64 games. I'd always heard of Megaman, but never played it, so that was one of the games I'd gravitate toward the most since I didn't have it at home.

Wow, a new upload after only a week? You spoil us, Johnny

The ending of this game absolutely killed me when I first played it. Also I love pretty much all of the music.

2:13 I'm gonna like this purely for the awesome scanline filter you used!

36 year old here, Johnny. I was a huge Mega Man fan (still am) and I didn't know about Legends until I was in a Gamestop one day and saw it sitting there on the shelf. Now, I had saved up my allowance to buy The Fifth Element videogame, but then saw the Blue Bomber sitting there on the shelf in a pristine jewel case and my eyes widened. Adrenaline rushed through me as I darted towards the shelf. How!? How had I not heard about this!? I flipped the case over and read the back, and was astonished at seeing Mega Man in a fully 3D adventure. Needless to say, I bought Legends instead of the Fifth Element that day and boy, did I dodge a bullet there!

Easily one my favorite Mega man's spin-offs. I love this game. The World, the charm, the Npc's and the missions (Minus the puzzle one. Cause I'm not a fan that one, no offense). I love Tron and her Servbots in this game. I also can agree that Tron looks really cute in her research outfit, when I first saw it. Capcom, can you please make a Mega man legends collection.

Fun fact: One of the ServBots isn't an actual ServBot. Apparently someone sent a spy into the ServBot ranks, although apparently nothing comes of it in-game. Just a unique ServBot Tron doesn't remember building.

There was a trick for the horses btw. I played the game several times over the Playstation 1 years, and the trick was you needed to sent your servbots to go after it, while you run with Gustaff in a circle, and go in front if it this way. Then they "jump scare" seeing the big bot there, and stop, giving the servbots the chance to capture them without being hit by it. Also, small extra exploit of the farm stage, you can capture the birdbots that pilot the big robots after you defeat them, to literally sell them over. Once I played long enough to test it out a bit, and stay there long enough to get extra 2 mil from this 😂!

Gotta say, I LOVE the crt filter you're using for these games, they look really good

I remember going to movie gallery after school one day and my mom was gonna let me rent a game for a week, I was still playing mostly colorful games at the time like spyro and crash and as I look through the shelves I found legends 1 and looked at the back of the case and thought "this looks neat". So I took it home and instantly was enthralled my the setting and the catchy music and fell in love. Our local movie gallery had a policy that if you returned a game late you could either pay a late fee or just purchase the game out right, so I gave my mom all my chore money and she bought it instead of returning it. The rest is history cause I eventually got the second one. I didnt sadly know about the misadventures of tron bonne though so i never bought it.

I'm that one friend who always said these were his fav Megaman games. I can get why people would want to look away from such huge change in game play style, but it always makes me happy to see someone new experience them.

I had the rare opportunity to play Tron Bonne, and I need more of her in my life.

Both this game and legends were my favorites to rent from blockbuster back in the day. Iconic box art

Servebots are Pikmin before Pikmin was even a thing.

I got Megaman 64 and most of my games from an apartment complex. There was a maintenance guy I was cool with and he'd just give all the games people left in the apartment to me.

When I got my PS1 for Christmas 1996, I got an issue of Official Playstation Magazine not long after, and it came with a demo disc. It had a demo for Klonoa, Shipwreckers, maybe a Gex, but it also had a surprisingly long demo video for "Mega Man Nova." It was probably between 3-5 minutes total in length, which for a demo disc video is like an eternity. It was tons of gameplay footage up through the Servbot trio's attack on the town square. All in Japanese, so I had no idea what anyone was saying, but it put the game on my radar.

The servbot can do other random things in the puzzle stages too if you try, that's probably why you have to do that for the forklift around 11:10

Blockbuster is how I found out about Legends. Well specifically it was Megaman 64. But eh, you know it was basically the same thing.

8:21-8:27 Story of my life, bro... lmao Excellent review, my guy. It's still great to see you still going strong after all these years. Here's to many more.

I learned about Legends purely by accident. I was born in 96 and when I was 6/7, I had already a keen interest in video games (I’ve had a Gameboy for awhile and my dad had a NES). So my mom happened on a garage sale that had a N64 with Legends 1 and a whole bunch of other N64 hits and bought it for me on a whim. Been actively waiting for more Legends games since.

I imagine the Legends games getting sequels and such despite no official numbers was most likely due to Inafune's status in Capcom at that point and could probably get a Mega Man sequel greenlit even if the previous game sold 2 copies.

11:52 Oh, just a space duck. What a majestic creature.

"Nothing matters anymore" *Johnny uploads a new review* "What was I upset about?"

so how me and my brother found this game was in the back of the legends book that came with that game there was an ad so we went to game stop and got the misadventures and loved it so much. Also yeah to get the hoses i would bring the bomb throwing 4 attack serves and ones with max speed the 4 ones there a like 1 or 2 of each, and put the ones with 4 smarts to help drive too for max damage in the gusetove, loved the vid keep up the good work

6:34 "Tron's like ALL THE RODS" LOL 😂😂😂😂😂

About finding out about the first Legends. My friend had it and said "Here, it's Mega Man for the Playstation". And I was like "Whaaa? How did I miss this?!".

Friend in 7th talked up Legends a lot and eventually let me borrow his copy. Was loving the game until a few hours in when a scratch on the disc caused the game to lock up on a cutscene. Spent a lot of time trying to fix, but no luck. Ended up buying the game from a Blockbuster. Now that I think about it, this was the same kid who brought his Chrono Trigger instruction manual to school, giving an entire classroom of 4th graders their first exposure to the Manga art style. Neat.

Not a whole lot of experience with the Mega Man Legends ( got my first copy from a Disc Replay in Aurora, IL) but this certainly is interesting. :)

Megaman Legends was introduced to me by Tips and Tricks magazine in May 1998 when I was a kid. I always had a hard time with the 2D megaman games but Legends was easy enough that I could make progress eventually. MML, MML2 and Misadventures were all blockbuster rentals; I wasn't able to purchase them outright myself. But the voice acting on the characters is particularly memorable to me. Great games.

"The late 90s were 30 years ago" Nope can't hear you plugging my ears lalalalala!

"What even was the PocketStation anyway?" If you watched Caddicarus' Video on PS1 Accessories, you'll definitely know, Juan!

I almost forgot about the torture room 😂

These videos be coming out like hot pancakes and I love it

I think my mother bought the game either from a video game store from NYC (not EB Games or GameStop) or from this one video game store in New Jersey near NYC that was next to a fish market (really good fish). Never heard of this game or even legends at all, so after me and my older brother had so much fun with Legends, when we saw Tron Bonne we just wanted it so badly, and through that we heard of Legends 2 since there was a demo of it in the Tron Bonne game. It’s also how we got UmJammer Lammy (that midquel between Parappa the Rapper 1 and 2) Still have the PS1 copies of both those games. And honestly Tron Bonne game has so much fun replaying to me for some reason

TY for brightening up my Saturday, Johnny.

I learned bout rhe legends series after a friend gave me Legends 2 telling me "youre good with megaman games right" and i was like wtf tis isnt the megaman i played, but after an hour i got hooked with the game and is now one of my favorite series in the franchise

9:56 is why I'm salty to this day that Denise never got to be a costume in a Street Fighter game. It would be PERFECT on R.Mika or Makoto.

made myself a pizza, have a glass of coke, and luck would have it theirs a new SomeCallMeJohnny, Life is good.

Really good point about the advertising for Legends. I never heard of the game anywhere back then. My cousin just visited us one day and gave us his copy. I'm guessing they didn't like it and just regifted it.

For me it was through video rentals at Video Update. X4 was rented out, so I rented Legends instead. That same copy I got for Christmas when they started selling their games. Best Christmas gift I ever got that year.

1:44 I just happened to have a friend who was super big into Megaman. He lent me his copy of 8, X4, X5, X6, and Legends and taught me how to play each. Dude was a huge fan

I was a huge MegaMan fan as a kid. Now, I was born in 1981, so I was raised on the original NES and the original Mega Man. By 1997, when this game came out, I would have been 16. The PlayStation was the last console my parents would buy for me. I bought the PlayStation 2 myself because I was working at that time. I don't recall how I heard about Mega Man Legends, but I heard about it somehow. It came out a week or so before Christmas, so it was definitely on my Christmas wishlist. My family had a tradition where we could open one gift on Christmas Eve night before going to bed. The one I chose to open happened to be Mega Man Legends. I went right to bed, then woke up first thing Christmas morning, stuck that game in my console, and played it while I was waiting for everyone else to wake up and do the Christmas gift thing. I have since played Mega Man Legends 2 but I never heard about The Misadventure of Tron Bonne until many years later, and by then I couldn't get my hands on a copy.

I love you dude, using my girls account to modify her algorithm so it gets recommended to her so we can watch you together. Todaloo!

7:45 this is such an odd complaint to make

Legends 1 i saw advertised as Megaman 64, on a cover somewhere about two weeks later it was on shelves and i was demanding to buy it, but had to settle for renting at first. Then ironically after finally getting a PS1 (one of the later models) spotted Legends 2 which had the same artwork as the Megaman N64 I had but it hasn't come out yet...but i while waiting then spotted a Misadventures of Tron Bonne for sale on a shelf and Immediately used my next to non-existent allowance money to buy it (80% of my allowance was "you get to eat food and sleep in your bed rather than out with the dog") and boy were those the best purchases for a game i ever made.

I got into MegaMan Legends in 2001 with the N64 port. It was just a random mid summer gift from my parents. I do remember the N64 version getting some coverage in Nintendo Power at that time. They had a walkthrough for the main quest in an issue focused on Paper Mario.

This is one of the most hilarious games I've ever played. The dynamic between Tron and her servbots are always comedy gold, and the police officer lady just makes everything even funnier. I really hope when (if) we get a Legends Legacy Collection, this game is also included.

Pausing at 1:55 to type this. I vividly remember being presented a copy of Mega Man Legends and my first PS1 memory card. After months of not being able to save games, and a lifetime of being a Mega Man Fan, I was indescribably excited to get my hands on Legends in the late 90's. My exposure to 3d gaming and my first step into Action/Adventure/RPG type games. Love the vids Johnny.

Patreon shout outs at the end is better. I’m sure the people who are fans enough to donate so much would rather keep not compromise the video intro and be happy to wait to hear the shout out at the end

Love that MC Ride yell alternative to the bird call, that had me in tears😂

I followed Megaman Legends since it was titled "Megaman Neo" in magazines. I made use of the Bonne Bazooka all the way and never looked back. Tron Bonne's game had PocketStation features that were just like a VMU, but only in Japan. Fun fact: the demo differed between regions.

Don’t forget that Servbot and Tron got added as fighters for MvC2 at the time. Technically they were in more games.

Aw sweet I got a shout out in the credits! Happy to help, John. Keep up the good work!

I was exploring the N64 catalog via roms and that is how I first encountered Legends 1 as Mega Man 64.

6:53 well, I wouldn’t expect an uprising from Servebot 27, affectionately named Skynet

didn't even know about this game until now so it was great to hear about this from johnny

Learned about it in a magazine call tips and tricks. They had a full walkthrough. I then got to play it mo ths later.

Me and my dad frequented a rental store called Victoria Video & Audio in Paterson when I was a kid, and I had never heard of Legends beforehand, but I constantly saw Mega Man 64 in the shelf. Eventually when I ran out of stuff I absolutely HAD to play at the time, I played it. Still one of my favorites to this day.

How I learn about the mega man legends series was the first commercial that I vividly remembered with Tisel screaming “LETS DO IT!!”
