Mega Man Anniversary Collection

This is a collection of the original mega man series, primarily NES emulated, from the late 80s & early 90s. It's quite an amazing set. I played the originals on the NES, so I bought this 4 nostalgia purposes, but these games have held up amazingly well in the 15-20 years. Although some in the series are more popular than others (most people think the series peaked at MM3), overall they are all playable. Try some of the other nostalgia collections, where several of the games hold your attention 4 a maximum two minutes, & one realizes what a deal this is. Plus, the games are appropriate 4 eight year olds. A great value.

The good stuff:

Great oportunity 2 have all your favourite MM games back & working on your video game collection.

You can easily switch weapons without menus, like on new ones.

Savegames!

Two Great arcade games included!

The bad stuff:

The games are emulated, & they did some mess here.

First of all, instead of using Sega Genesis mega man 1-3 trilogy games, they stuck 2 the NES ones. A real waste of great artwork.

Second: Game music from 1 2 7 is recorded. That's not as bad as they improoved the synthesizer on some of them. From time 2 time the music fades out & starts over, & thats ok. BUT... They took some of the soundtrack off! Topman soundtrack on MM3 is missing & was replaced with something from MM8 I guess. (I hope it wasn't some misstyping on the game code as 3 & 8 might be confused), & in MM2 the boss music was replaced 4 Dr. Willy's last form music. Damn! There are a few more missplaced musics, but I can't remember right now.

Third: Something is wrong on the emulation. You have a tiny delay on MM1 2 MM3 after pushing buttons. It's not big deal but it can be really anoying sometimes, specially on some jumps.

Fourth: They redrew all NES in game menus. They are prettier but... They should have done it on the whole game, or in nothing at all.

Well, even with this, its a really great game! I enjoyed it all again a lot!

If your a fan of the classic Mega Man Series, this game is 4 you. All the classic Nes games plus a few bonus ones.

growing up, i only had games 3 & 5 on old school NES. when i finally got my ps2, this game was one of the first i got just because it had those two games i'd beaten so often & 8 others. a great buy 4 the megaman enthusiast.

Nothing brings back the memories more than this Megaman Anniversary game. When I first put this game in my ps3 & began fighting cutman's level, I felt a whole rush of childhood memories. This is a great game 4 anyone who loves the old megaman games!
