I don't think I could have done this any better. I was disappointed in the same ways as you by this collection. It's hard to imagine what got in the way of including the games they left out. Emulation is covered, licensing is solid... unless other developers had a hand in and it isn't?

I did a little digging and, according to this article towards the end, Capcom was only concerned about doing the numbered games for Legacy 2.

I heard somewhere that there was a digital distribution rights dispute with Mega Man & Bass, making it difficult and potentially costly to include. If so, that's a shame.

Yeesh, I hope not. And if anything, I really hope it's not the GBA version if they actually include it in a collection or a digital download in the future. Pains me to see that game's screen get reduced.

I own a copy of Battle & Chase. Sunk a couple of hours into it back when, and it didn't strike me as anything special.

Capcom was going through its "Let's be buttheads to Capcom" phase at that point. They were mean about even letting Mega Man X games happen, because they were 2D, as I recall.

Specifically, Mega Man X4 was rejected. I can only imagine it was eventually approved for NA release the same way Mega Man 8 was: Sony had no interest in the game until Sega approved the game on the Saturn. Which makes it a wonder why they approved Mega Man X5 and 6. They probably looked at the sales figures for X4, I'm guessing.
