Mega Man Anniversary Collection for PlayStation 2

Pros: An old-school game compilation done right
Cons: The formula never changes in any of the games...so it can get repetitive

Before Street Fighter, before Resident Evil, before Devil May Cry…there was Mega Man. Though the franchise hasn’t retained its popularity from the early to mid 1990’s, Capcom’s original juggernaut series is still considered one of its best, though also ...

Pros: 10 games, lots of bonus, nuff said.
Cons: Games don't have improved visuals so be ready to see some 8-bit art.

Imagine this: instead of digging up some dusty old consoles and paying big bucks on eBay for the games themselves (and believe me, they can be pretty expensive), Capcom has put together eight games (plus two hidden) in the series in one set complete with ...

Pros: my favorite video game character!
Cons: the bad guys are really cool but ultimately they have to die

There is a lot of money to be made in nostalgia. Unfortunately, it’s my nostalgia that is targeted and I’m not really in a position to profit off of other people’s childhood memories. But with DVD boxed sets raking in dough from old (and ...

Pros: Excellent conversions of all eight Mega Man games. Perfect controls. Decent extras.
Cons: Botched translation of Mega Man 2.

Mega Man was one of the first video games which, back in my childhood, actually gave Super Mario Bros a run for its money. I loved the little blue guy. I loved the way he ripped weapons from his enemies. I loved the colorful universe he lived in. I ...

Pros: Mega Man 1 and 2
Cons: Mega Man 7 and 8, and button masher thumb- ouch!

Here's the setup: A big video game company (Capcom) has all these dated, yet once popular video games (Mega Man series) taking up space in their catalogue. Is there a way to make them profitable again? an exec asks. So a group of employees have this ...

Pros: 10 Megaman games on one disk with extras!
Cons: Inferior Megaman 8 emulation, bad design choices.

Megaman Anniversary Collection is quite possibly the best game compilation ever. All eight console Megaman games are included plus two arcade ports from Japan. On top of that there's artwork to be seen, remixed music to hear, a producer interview for the ...

Pros: 10 games, auto-save or passwords, loads of unlockables, all games play as good as before.
Cons: None I can think of.

MegaMan finally gets his own collection after 17 years of pleasing fans like me. This collection is packed with MegaMans 1-8, spanning from the NES, SNES, and PlayStation and features two never before released arcade MegaMan games, MegaMan: The Power Battle and MegaMan 2: The Power Fighters, that feature all boss battles, all the time, which is awesome. All of the games play perfectly and the loading of each doesn't take long either. You can even play the games either by auto-saving your progress of take out your memory card and play it old-school style with passwords, even though MegaMan 8 never had passwords. Loads of unlockables are included, with artwork, music, and a MegaMan anime cartoon of the MegaMan animated series. Every MegaMan fan should own this masterful collection because this is the best collection for the best series ever.
