What was the North American name of Mega Man Legends' Nintendo 64 port?

The story behind the answer

The North American name of Mega Man Legends’ Nintendo 64 port was Mega Man 64.

Mega Man Legends began as a 1997 PlayStation action-adventure starring Mega Man Volnutt, a Digger exploring ruins on the largely flooded Earth. Its 3D exploration, shooting, and RPG-inspired systems set it apart from the traditional side-scrolling series.

Capcom released a Nintendo 64 version in Japan in 2000. Although it retained the Mega Man Legends name in Japan, the North American release was renamed Mega Man 64 and arrived in 2001. The title change distinguished the port from the PlayStation game and made its Nintendo platform identity explicit.

A common mix-up is “Rockman 64.” Rockman is the Japanese name for Mega Man, while the Japanese game was associated with Rockman DASH. “Mega Man Legends 64” is descriptive but was not the official North American title. The port also received criticism for largely reproducing the PlayStation game rather than adding major enhancements.
