Darius Posted September 12, 2003 Report Share Posted September 12, 2003 This is awesome news, Now if only they'd release a contra compilation. Or the phantasy star one they have for GBA on another system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark E Posted September 12, 2003 Report Share Posted September 12, 2003 Aww, I really hope this comes out for the other two systems. I can see why it wouldn't, but along with Kingdom Hearts this makes two games it would be worth having a PS2 for. Well, and Klonoa 2 of course . I'm a big fan of the later NES MegaMan games, which were really lacking in originality but fun all the same. Hopefully this is chock full o' goodies.

JFo Posted September 12, 2003 Report Share Posted September 12, 2003 It's about damn time they did this! Good thing I'm getting a PS2 today. Now I'll be able to play all of these. I can't tell you how interested I am to hear this updated soundtrack. I think it's no secret that the Mega Man games feature some of the best music in any videogame ever. A really good version of the Snake Man theme alone would be worth the price of this compliation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark E Posted September 13, 2003 Report Share Posted September 13, 2003 A really good version of the Snake Man theme alone would be worth the price of this compliation. Someone probably has one over at the Overclocked game remix site. I have a remixed version of the opening scene from MegaMan X and it's pretty sweet if you're into the techno .

I do have one on my computer. It's techno version too and quite well done. I'd like to hear a non-techno version on this compliation though.

EnemaEms Posted September 14, 2003 Report Share Posted September 14, 2003 Since theis is not platform specific anymore, we'll move this to the General area. Oh, and I an really considering this as a purchase. -Dean- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solitice Posted September 15, 2003 Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 Great news! I am so glad its comming to the Cube, it just wouldn't feel right to play this on anything else.

There were indeed multiple GameBoy versions of the Mega Man games. I don't know how many there were in total though. I know that I have Mega Man 2 stashed away somewhere though.

BenBeats Posted September 16, 2003 Report Share Posted September 16, 2003 This is the best news since the Olson twins lifted that law suit against me! I will soon bask in all of Mega-Mans glory and splendor! Yippee! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heavy liquid Posted September 26, 2003 Report Share Posted September 26, 2003 I just noticed in the latest Game Informer that there are TWO anthology sets on the way! The second will encompass the Mega Man X lineup. Both sets include extras such as Mega Man Chess and Mega Man Soccer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFo Posted February 16, 2004 Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 For those of you as eager to get your hands on this compilation as I am, you might want to check out these screenshots. It looks as if Capcom is not messing with perfection by enhancing the visuals of the older games at all. Needless to say, I like that. After seeing how good an old NES game can look on the Zelda Compilation, I'm eager to get see what the amazing graphics of these old Mega Man games will look like. More to the point, I can't wait to hear those old tunes again. They truly are some of the best ever composed for any game. You can also check out these screenshots of the GameBoy Advance compilation, which looks to visually mimic the old GameBoy versions, only with an added spot of color to make them stand out.

Angel P Posted February 16, 2004 Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 I've never played any of the Mega Man games so I'll give this a rent and see what all the excitement is about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They truly are some of the best ever composed for any game. Oh absolutely! This release remains one of my most anticipated of the year. Lock me up and throw away the key with this, a TV and my cube.
