I still have doubts this will ever happen but I'll upvote just to keep their attention on it. Hopefully if they ever did, it would be available for ps4 too.

Also, how could anyone downvote this!?

Edit: uhh meganman legends???

It's also over 3 years old, hence the "2010/05/14" in the URL.

Really, everything considered, if Capcom was able to, and wanted to, sell the Legends series on PSN, they would have by now.

...or put MM64 on the Wii Virtual Console service.

...or just translated the PSP releases.

...or put the PC version on Steam, or GOG, or even just put it back in whatever online storefront they have.

Unfortunately, public petitions, polls, and such won't work in this case. Sorry.

Or just not bother with any legal due processes you have no control of, and just import the PSP ports and learn a new language at the same time, amirite?

It worked for me and a friend when we wanted to understand NEWTYPE and CoroCoro magazines, and another friend of mine when he wanted to play release-day Dissidia FF.

I'm not really sure where you're going with this; the games have already been translated into English, so anyone who really wants to play them has the ability to do so. The matter is people wanting to buy those already-completed copies in a legal, digital manner, in the same way that a large number of other games from the same era are available legally and digitally.

Ultimately, every English-speaking Legends fan has access to the trilogy already in their own language in some form. The problem focuses on the company failing to make existing, completed products perpetually available to the target audience when the reasons not to do so are approaching zero, and that's what bothers people.

Yes, I suppose someone could acquire newer, Japanese-language version of the games and enjoy them to a degree, and many people have, although from a typical consumer's viewpoint, it seems excessive for something that shouldn't need to be that way.

EDIT: As an aside, I don't believe even the Japanese versions are available through Steam or Virtual Console, etc. However, I'm not really sure of the state of digital storefronts in Japan or how much they've caught on (if they have at all) so there might be a legitimate reason why they'd overlook doing that there.

For the first game, a digital release for the PSP was made available in 2009.
For RMD2, on the other hand, the closest equivalent I can find is a PC Download version released sometime in 2003 (which probably isn't much help anyway).

From what I have seen, digital downloads are quite popular especially for doujin game markets (namely Eroge) due to its favor of anonymity.

Though digital distribution may have become more popular for small titles in recent years, developers and publishers still retain a lot of packaged purchases by including exclusives such as promotional content codes and OST CDs. This is also partly because big retailers such as Bic Camera, Yodobashi, Gamers, and Animate (to some extent) tend to have the space and offers for advertising and campaigning (live shows, presentations, and so on).

In a way, it is because of this seemingly symbiotic relationship that producers and distributors can maintain the market which small standalone stores cannot accomplish.
