Mega Man Anniversary Collection Announced
Fans of Capcom's Mega Man franchise have something to look forward to for a change. In anticipation of its franchise character's 15th anniversary, Capcom is bringing out the Mega Man Anniversary Collection for PlayStation 2 and Gamecube, an omnibus collection of some 10 past Mega Man games. Both versions are due for release in the United States this February.
Yes, 10 games in one package. It will include all eight mainstream Mega Man side-scrollers, from the NES, Super NES, Game Boy, and PlayStation, plus ports of two arcade fighting games that never saw American distribution, Mega Man The Power Battle and Mega Man 2 The Power Fighters. Though it seems they won't be changed in any untoward fashion, they will include updated soundtracks to take advantage of modern consoles' audio capabilities.
As an added bonus, Capcom is also packing in some 30 minutes of animation clips, TV commercials, and producer interviews to unlock, as well as artwork galleries and other trivia related to the franchise.
"The Mega Man Anniversary Collection pays tribute to the brainchild behind this multimillion unit selling franchise, Keiji Inafune, and the original games that he created," said Capcom marketing director Todd Thorson. "It gives gamers who have not experienced the Mega Man phenomenon an opportunity to play the titles that redefined the platform genre."
Mr. Thorson seems to have gotten cause and effect backwards there, unless Mega Man did indeed somehow give birth to Mr. Inafune, but we'll let that slide and simply look forward to what should be a fine retro package. |

| oh wow, the only one I ever had was Mega Man 2 for the original NES system, and that game was awesome. I don't think I was ever able to beat Dr. Wiley's stage though. Hmmmmmmm.... |

| The thing I still like about all the nintendo games is the majority of them are really hard to beat. Like Skate or Die 2, Double Dragon 1&2, and one of my favorites Mike Tysons Punchout. Man Mike's hard to beat. His jabs in the second round are impossible to time. You have to play perfect to beat him. |
