In North America, Capcom is selling Mega Man Legacy Collection through two different means at retail. Consumers can purchase the standalone game or a special collector’s edition. The situation is quite different in Europe, however.

It turns out that Mega Man Legacy Collection will only be available on the eShop in Europe. In the YouTube description for the game’s trailer, the publisher states: “The game will be available to purchase digitally across Europe for €14.99/£13.49.”

That’s definitely a bit of a bummer! I can’t say I know why Capcom has opted for this route in Europe.

If Play-Asia is accurate, the Pearl White New 3DS XL will be available as a North American-compatible product early next month. The retailer tweeted out the news and also put up a pre-order page here.

This might actually be similar to what happened with the Metallic Blue system a few months back. The Pearl White New 3DS XL might not be getting a widespread North American release, but it could be distributed in certain regions such as Singapore and Malaysia, which seem to use NTSC compatibility. In any case, we’ll keep you posted on any additional news that we come across.
