Mega Man Zero Collection

[UHMEEEEBA]

Half of Capcom is satisfied with releasing all the Battle Network games on the DS one at a time with shitty "upgrades", the other half took a look at the Zero series said "Fuck it let's put all four on one DS cart.".

[Anjel]

Holy shit YES.

[K.O.D]

awesome.

[UHMEEEEBA]

Hope it has some sort of extras that warrants a repurchase personally, I doubt we'll ever get anything like Wily Tower again but something would be nice.

Also hoping they actually put effort into porting the music, when they did it for OSS it actually sounded worse because of the way the DS emulates the GBA soundware. If you don't believe me here's a comparison:

[Fusion]

Well, the site's music seems to imply that the music is a bit clearer.  Either that or they just ran the GBA music without filtering it.

[UHMEEEEBA]

That really doesn't mean anything, hell the website for Zero 3 had an arranged version one of the themes in the game.

[UHMEEEEBA]

A new feature announced at World Hobby Fair, it's called "Collection Mode" and is probably an Artwork Gallery or something.

I suppose it's possible they put in bios for Zero 1 and 2 as that concept didn't come around until Zero 3 but it seems a bit unlikely.

[Jesuszilla]

x2, except Zero3, and I never finished because IT'S TOO FUCKIN' HARD

[UHMEEEEBA]

Zero 3 is not that hard if you know what you're doing.

Invincible dash doesn't hurt but the game outright gives you that for beating the eel boss, so yeah.

Now Zero 1, that game would kick your ass if you looked at it the wrong way.

[Jesuszilla]

Zero3, I couldn't fucking get past that fucking water boss. I ragequit.

[UHMEEEEBA]

It helps if you hit the switches earlier in the stage it makes his attack pattern a joke.

Also another thing I forgot about the first game, the only way to get Sub-tanks was to use certain Cyber Elves, so it was a bit of a bitch.

[UHMEEEEBA]

Yeah the first Zero game is actually pretty sub-par, the other three are passable though.

[UHMEEEEBA]

Japanese trailer with english annotations. Collection Mode is indeed an art gallery.

The game apparently might be adding in extras from Zero 3 that where unlocked by the infamous e-card reader.

Which reminds me Zero 3 also had a pointless extra that resulted from linking the game up to Battle Network 4, whether or not they use that is up in the air.

[UHMEEEEBA]

Exactly why I never upgraded from the original model DS.

[Fusion]

...Eh, that border around the gameplay screens doesn't bode well for anything improved.  I was hoping that they'd try to make use of the screen space.  But all I guess we can count on is that the games won't be changed period because of some BS like it'd take too much effort, though that never stopped Capcom from pseudo-upgrading the Ace Attorney games from GBA to DS with at least slightly better graphics.
