History VideoGame / MegamanLegends

* ForcedTutorial: In the original game, in ''The Misadventures of Tron Bonne'', and to a lesser extent in ''Legends 2''. Also suffers from CaptainObvious and StopHelpingMe.

* The sequel, ''Legends 2'', picks up a year after the end of the previous game, with Volnutt and the Casketts having beaten Juno and the Bonnes. The game introduces Glyde, Bola, and Claymore as three more rivals to Volnutt, along with the mysterious Yuna and Sera. The plot revolves around the mysteries surrounding Volnutt, Juno, and the origins of both Elysium and Terra. The game was re-released on April 5th, 2016 for the PlayStation 3, Vita, and PlayStation TV.

* ''Legends 1'' is about Volnutt and the Casketts fighting to keep the Bonnes from destroying an island town to steal an ancient treasure buried there, while uncovering the secret behind a centennial catastrophe about to befall it. This game was rereleased on the {{Nintendo 64}} under the title ''[[SuperTitle64Advance Mega Man 64]]'', and re-released on September 29th, 2015 for the PlayStation 3, Vita, and PlayStation TV.

* There was also a prequel called ''The Misadventures of Tron Bonne'' in which Tron and her [[MechaMooks Servbots]] have to go on a crime spree to save her brothers Teisel and Bon from Glyde. In a [[ThrowTheDogABone rather surprising move]] from Capcom, the game was [[http://www.polygon.com/2015/5/6/8561517/misadventures-of-tron-bonne-psone-classics-ps3-vita re-released on May 6th, 2015]] for the PlayStation 3, PSP, Vita and PlayStation TV, four years after the cancellation of Mega Man Legends 3.

* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: While the currency is still called "zenny," money in this world is not real money, but quantum refractors, which are used to generate energy. Particularly large refractors are used to power machines, but smaller and weaker refractors are traded as money. This explains why robotic enemies in ancient ruins drop money when they explode, and why there's a GlobalCurrency (resources are scarce and everyone needs an extra refractor in case energy runs low).

-->'''Question:''' What was the name of the first album released by ''Hewey Lewis and the News''?

* InvisibleMonsters: The first game has the Blue Sharukurusu in the Lake Ruins. As if the regular green versions weren't [[DemonicSpiders tough enough already]], these blue ones will remain invisible until they are near you. Which is probably a few seconds away from impaling you. Nothings screams "Nightmare Fuel" when you hear Reaverbot footsteps and you can't see the enemy until it's too late...

* NintendoHard: Both main games (on their standard difficulties) aren't particularly hard, but the Class S Digger's Test in the sequel more than makes up for it.

* ViciousCycle: The plot of the first game.

* WrenchWench: Roll Casket

* GlobalCurrency: Zenny. Gained popularity here, and became the standard with ''VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork'', but oddly introduced in the Japanese-only ''TabletopGame/{{Monopoly}}'' clone ''Wily & Light's RockBoard: That's Paradise!''

* GlobalCurrency: Zenny. See also ''VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork''.

* EyesAlwaysShut: Mega Man Juno again. Race memory from [[HeyItsThatVoice his Japanese VA having voiced]] [[{{LightNovel/Slayers}} Xelloss]] beforehand? You decide.

* PunishmentBox: In ''The Missadventures of Trone Bonn'' some servbots sometimes disobey you; when it happens Tron sends them to the punishment chamber (a minigame that is essentially about applying {{Video Game Cruelty Potential}} to the servbot).

* TacticalSuicideBoss: The Marlwolf would be untouchable if the Servbots would quit opening the hatch up top ([[LampshadeHanging Teisel even keeps screaming at them to keep the hatch closed throughout the fight.]])

* VideoGameCaringPotential: Across the two games, you can adopt stray animals, buy gifts for Roll, donate to reconstruction funds for destroyed cities, donate to the church, donate to the hospital, help the police solve crimes, help a pregnant mother to the hospital, and buy gifts for Roll.
* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: On the other hand, you can abuse wild animals, attack NPCs caught in fire zones, attack Roll in a fire zone and generally be mean to her, steal money from the bank, refuse to help out those who explicitly ask for it, and in general can just be a jerk to people.

* DiscOneNuke: The Powered Buster in the first game. It's found very early in the game, is comparatively cheap to upgrade, and at max potential has very high range and power with usable energy. The downsides are its slow rate of fire and very slow projectile, which later makes it difficult to use. In the early game, through, it's very effective, and makes a lot of the bosses a breeze since they often aren't very mobile.

* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: There are several invoked through the aforementioned [[KarmaMeter Karma Meter]], but one that sticks out is an instance that can occur after the Flutter's interior is repaired. Let's say you need a large quantity of zenny for something, for instance paying your way around taking that insulting quiz in Pokte Village. Why not just sell those ever respawning picnic lunches in the Flutter's fridge? [[TheDevTeamThinksOfEverything If you do this, be prepared to find the fridge empty after the third or so time, with Roll missing from the Flutter's navigator room.]] [[WhatTheHellPlayer You will instead find her lying on her bed in her pajamas, exhausted and miserable until you offer her an apology...]]
* {{Video Game 3D Leap}}

* WakeUpCallBoss: Before Yakuto Krabbe there was Rush Mamboo, the ice-spewing [[FrickinLaserBeams laser-shooting]] elephant-sized Reaverbot, which also possesses one of THE longest life bars in any game ever. Seriously challenging for such an early boss.
** Teisel Bonne's first robot in the first game is a step up from previous bosses as well. Being the first boss that requires hitting a certain "sweet spot" to damage it, and attack another specific part of it to be able to reach the sweet spot in the first place. It's main attack can also decimate your shields and health and require you to have gotten used to the dodge roll.

This game was rereleased on the {{Nintendo 64}} under the title ''[[SuperTitle64Advance Mega Man 64]]'', and surprisingly re-released on September 29th, 2015 for the PlayStation 3, Vita, and PlayStation TV.

* RedHerring: [[spoiler: The Blue Refractor]] in the first game. Despite the fact that it gets it's own inventory slot under important items and you get it as soon as you start the game, it's completely unimportant to the rest of the plot. It isn't even used as a ChekovsGun power source like the other refractors you find.

This game was rereleased on the {{Nintendo 64}} under the title ''[[SuperTitle64Advance Mega Man 64]]''.

* VillainProtagonist: Tronne in her game. The main way she works to repair her family's debt is stealing stuff and selling it for cash.

* ForgoneConclusion: Since it's a prequel, you already know Tron will be successful in Misadventures.

* BreakoutCharacter: Tron, who went from being one of the antagonists to having her own spinoff game and being featured in ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom2'', ''[[MarvelvsCapcom3 3: Fate of Two Worlds]]'', ''NamcoXCapcom'', and ''ProjectXZone''. She's made more appearances than ''Trigger'' has.

* NoPronunciationGuide: In Japan, "Bonne" is pronounced "bone" (and is spelled the same way). The English releases pronounce it "Bonne", as in "bonnet", but then the later English releases (such as ''MarvelVsCapcom3'') revert back to "bone".
