Well, if you are a Mega Man franchise fan, this game is a must-try for you. However, after players on Steam had access to the title on 14th Apr, many have reported that the game fails to recognize their controller on PC.

If you are facing a similar issue, then you need to read this guide as we have shared all the details on the same.
Playing PC games with a controller nowadays has become quite common as controllers are more handy and flexible when it comes to providing input. Although traditional FPS titles or fast-paced action games are still preferred to be played using the standard Keyboard+mouse setup, the use of controllers to play casual games has been adopted by many. However, PC games often fail to recognize some controllers when connected, even when full controller support is provided. The same is the case with the Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection game, where players are unable to play it using the controller of their choice on PC. Although the devs have not acknowledged the issue as of writing this article, we have some potential workarounds that might be of some help. So, without any further ado, let’s discuss the same.
