Capcom’s legendary super hero is once again playing it up in 3-D with massive enhancements and a game world twice the size of its predecessor.
E3, LOS ANGELES — May 11, 2000 — Capcom® today announced plans to release Mega Man Legends 2™, the sequel to the ultra-popular 3D game Mega Man Legends, on the PlayStation® game console this September. Capcom’s legendary super hero and one of their most successful franchises is once again playing it up in 3-D with massive enhancements and a game world twice the size of its predecessor. A mainstay in the video game industry for more than 13 years, the entire Mega Man series has sold nearly four million units in North America and attracted numerous fans worldwide. The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) rates Mega Man Legends 2 “E” for “Everyone”.
Mega Man Legends 2 incorporates many new features:
Dual Analog control compatible for true 3D control. Uses the second analog control stick to allow players to adjust multiple 3-D camera perspectives.
Enhanced graphics providing highly detailed levels, backgrounds and cleaner character design.
Game world is twice as large as the original.
Twice the number of enemies than the original
Interaction with towns people for effective battle strategy. For example, when players fight with a boss character, players can attack from a blind spot if they are able to access a locked door. In this case, if the player talks to a town’s person who is angry at the boss, that person will assist and break through the door allowing Mega Man to fight from the blind spot.
Numerous addictive mini-games
Mega Man Legends 2 begins shortly after the story of Mega Man Legends ends. Far in the future when most of the continents on the earth have sunk into the sea, a unique civilization is formed on a small patch of land that remains. The people’s lives are sustained by explorers called “diggers” who dig ancient ruins to collect energy sources called Refractors, a substance this world can not live without.
In Mega Man Legends 2, Mega Man and friend Roll, are Refractor diggers. They travel the world in search of the “Great Legacy,” a dream many diggers share, but nobody really knows much about. Verner Von Bluecher, an entrepreneur, preaches the theory most widely believed: that this new energy with will provide infinite power and will eventually replace Refractor. It is Von Bluecher’s wish to travel to the “Forbidden Place” in a huge airship where it is rumored the Great Legacy exists. As he starts to set sail, a mysterious woman appears and the adventure in Mega Man Legends 2 begins.
“Mega Man Legends 2 takes everything that gamers loved about the original and made it bigger and better,” said Todd Thorson, director of marketing, Capcom Entertainment. “For more than 13 years now, Mega Man has been an icon for the video game industry. The beauty of the Mega Man series is that gamers of all ages have a special place in their heart for the beloved boy in blue. With its major enhancements, gamers will revel in Mega Man latest, most exciting adventure.”
