Trivia:

This is the only game in the Mega Man Legends series where the character of Bon Bonne is dubbed over in the US localization. Mega Man Legends and Mega Man Legends 2 left Bon Bonne's voice as the original track performed by Ikue Ohtani. It doesn't matter, actually, since the character only speaks in variations of the nonsense word "Babu".

Quotes:

Tron: No! Don't do that! you don't know what it does!!
Servbot: Wow! This stuff is pretty good! It makes me feel all warm and tingly inside!!
Tron: The Elixir of Youth is... root beer?!

Great game to only feature the Bonne's

The first time I played this, I was wondering "where is Megaman?" Then I started to get into the game and realized you don't need Megaman for a good game, you can use his enemies. To be honest, this game is very underrated and people need to give it a chance.

I really like the part where the Tron goes into the city to rob a bank and lands in front of the pet hospital. The kid that throws rocks at you is pretty hilarious.

The game kind of loses its fire when you go into the ruins to dig for things but all in all, it is very good.

Please give Capcom a chance on this one, people, they only do this to please you.
