Perfect Fan Game

I love this Game because it has all but a few of the Megaman Classic games. Some of the games used new sound effects, (Megaman 1 for the collection uses different sounds than Megaman 1 for Virtual Console on Wii.) This is the perfect game for any true Megaman fan.

mm anniversary collection

i received this game pretty quickly--always a good thing.

the only problem i have with the game is that it's not compatible with the nintendo wii; luckily i still have my gamecube.

otherwise, can't complain about the condition of the game and its speedy shipment.

thanks

A great experience, but...

Overall, this is a great collection for someone looking for all of these games in one place. It has its issues, but it delivers on what it promises: that blue guy that shoots other robots.

The button issue that's been mentioned multiple times is definitely a downer: it's a little tough to get used to. However, it's made up for by the fact that these games are crazy difficult, and at times mind-boggling. And on top of all of that, YOU CAN SAVE THEM via the save cartridges. Having played 2 and 4 on the original NES, the password function usually led to having to write down and remember long codes or buttons that made no sense, just so you would never have to deal with Quick Man again.

Of the 8, the gem is Mega Man 2: arguably one of the best games on the original NES. The other games are great for their own reasons as well, though 8 is just weird (the anime cut scenes, the soccer/football element, etc.)

Capcom obviously didn't put much effort into this

While the old MegaMan games were good, it feels like Capcom just stopped caring about porting these games partway through. I mean, MegaMan 1-8 are fine*, but the menu is horrible, the "extras" are worthless, and the arcade games....oh, the arcade games. They're getting their own paragraph.

The arcade games WOULD'VE been fun, if they didn't suffer from horrible, horrible slowdown whenever more than 4 sprites were on the screen. Seriously, did they bother to test the games at all?! And what are they doing behind the scenes that makes a GameCube choke when displaying 4 simple animated sprites?

All in all, most of it's not bad, but it just feels like Capcom gave this project to a couple interns and never bothered to check the results.


*Fine, except that MegaMan 8 has the most hilariously bad voice acting since the original Resident Evil. Everyone sounds like they're barely even interested in their lines, MegaMan sounds like an 8-year-old girl, and Dr. Light sounds like Elmer Fudd!

A wonderful collection of nostalgia and fun!

Let's face it: there are so many Mega Man titles out there. But thankfully, Capcom made it easy for gamers to have access to all of the classic titles on one disk! It's convenient and it allows me to go back and play those Mega Man titles I grew up with, as well as get more acquainted with some that I simply haven't played enough of. With two additional arcade games never released in the U.S., what more could I ask for.

The only con to this game? The menus are not fast enough. You literally navigate a Mega Man sprite to a door, each door containing a classic Mega Man game. It can sometimes take too long to get to the game of your choice, as the sprite runs rather slowly. However, this is small potatoes and doesn't provide grounds for me to lower my rating on this collection of games.

I recommend it to anyone who is either looking for nostalgia, or anyone who is looking for something really entertaining and challenging to play!
