Mega Man Anniversary Collection

[Drev]

Comes out next week, and I'll buy it.

IT'S MEGA MAN 1-8 AND THE 2 ARCADE GAMES!

BUY IT!

[Nerd]

'kay.

[thebiggameover]

shit. is it gamecube or ps2?
:/

[Nerd]

Both.

PS2 version gets 2 episodes of that crappy american tv show and the 'Cube version gets a history of Mega Man thing. I think.

[Drev]

The show sucked so I'm not missing out on anything :/

[Mockery]

Proto and I have been waiting for this so we can battle in those arcade games nonstop. Can't wait

[pjalne]

Will this be a Super Mario All-Stars deal, or will the graphics be old-school?

[Rongi]

from the look of the screenshots, the graphics remain untouched. which imo is a good thing.

[whoreable]

i thought i read somewhere you could play with the classic graphics(slowdowns glitches and all) or you could play a graphic enhanced version.

[pjalne]

That would be the ultimate solution. If I had to pick one, I'd go with the classic style, but it would be cool to see it with new graphics.

[Nerd]

From my understanding, there are two modes: Navi and normal. In Navi mode you get remixed music ( 4-6, I think), new weapons meter that tells you many shots you have left with your current weapon, and you can go through all the master weapons using L and R. Also, Beat pops up and points out usually obvious routes. Protoman contacts you and tells you hints and tips for the current stage your on. And yes, the slowdown affects are gone. You also get a new and better menu. I think the graphics may have been touched up a bit too. Same deal as Complete Works if any of you played that.

In normal, everythings the same. The slowdown, the weapons meter, etc. You can't even select your master weapons with L and R, you need to go into the menu and select them, just like the old games.

But I'm pretty sure that in either mode the select trick no longer works in MM1, which means a much harder Yellow Devil. Or that may only be in Navi mode, I forgot. I read all of this in a IGN article.

I could of sworn the Arcade games were 1-player and that you can only play as megaman, protoman, and Bass.

If I am wrong, cool.

[Schimid]

Nah, they're two-player. We have one at an Ultracade here loaded with Capcom and Atari and Taito games.

Me and my friends play a back-to-back set of Mega Man and Bubble Bobble.

[Drev]

we tried to play them on MAME 32K, but for some reaosn it wouldn't.

[James]

I have the first Mega Man game for MAME, but I could never get a good copy of the sequel. Some interesting concepts, and some nice 16-bit renders of the enemy robots, but it didn't play all that great.

Again, I don't see the point of these remake deals, especially when nothing's been added. And to be honest, I can't see the GC controller working all that well for the MM games.

Besides, MM & Bass is the best MM game ever.

[Nerd]

And to be honest, I can't see the GC controller working all that well for the MM games.

Then use the Hori controller.

[James]

I meant the button setup, you increasingly idiotic retard.

[EverythingWillSuck]

This sounds pretty cool, hopefully it turns out better than the GCSonic Collection did

Gimmie A Break

[huond]

I'm sorry, that was mean. $30, and I'll sell them to you one every 3 years.

To be fair, getting that many MM games is pretty good, so I realy shouldn't complain about this particular case. And, come on. It's not like Capcom has a habit of rereleasing the same games over and over with slight changes or no changes at all, right? Right?

[Supafly345]

We talking the two, or three dimension games?

[camacazio]

Does not matter, they are all the same.

And they were good too for awhile. Not anymore though.

Ok, so I was playing some Sonic 3 today but I got tired of it so I started playing mega man 3 and I thought to myself "it's a darn shame I'm playing this on my NES"

I'm definately getting that mega man collection. I haven't seen a game out even worth half it's cost in many months until this one.
