The challenges are exclusive to Mega Man Legacy Collection 2, there's the ability to create a save state in nearly any part of the game, and Mega Man regular or golden amiibo owners will also get access to 11 fan-made challenges, says Capcom.

Those fan-made challenges were previously exclusive to the Nintendo 3DS Mega Man game; this marks their debut on the Switch. All of the previously launched DLC for Mega Man 9 and 10 will be available in the Switch collection, including the bonus stages. Both collections will be available to buy from the Nintendo eShop starting May 22 in North America for $14.99 and $19.99.
