MegaMan Anniversary Collection

[Double]

Ah yes the compilation to end all compilations for the most part. There are three different versions of this, so again three different scores, goodie.

Gameplay: The Gameplay of the individual games is pretty unaffected, they choose to use the PSX version of MegaMan 8 which can be seen as a letdown to some. In addition they added a difficulty option to the NES games, as expected MegaMan 2 lost its difficulty option due to this. The main down side in this game is each game only has one save file, not too big of a deal for most of the games, but it's actually a step down for MegaMan 8 which use to have three. The emulation is far superior to the Wily Wars emulation, no slowdown. MegaMan 7's ending was changed due to none of the systems having Mode 7 or some shit. Finally, the shoot and jump buttons for the cube are REVERESED which is just wrong.
Cube: 18 out of 20
PS2: 19 out of 20
XBOX: 19 out of 20

Music: All your old favorites are here in their original format. The PSX and XBOX versions have the addition of remixes for the later three NES games. In addition you can unlock some new remixes, more on that later.
Cube: 14 out of 15
PS2: 15 out of 15
XBOX: 15 out of 15

Translation: All the versions fixed up some typos in some of the older games, including Mr. X's famous faild line. MM7 seems untouched. However, despite this, the new Navi Mode in the game has some of the most badly translated lines in all of MegaMan history. We're talking some All your base shit right here. So this gets a 6 for effort.
Cube: 6 out of 10
PS2: 6 out of 10
XBOX: 6 out 10

Length: Oh fucking come on 8 games.

Bonus: All of the games contain the following material: Credits for the Compilation staff, three sketches,  8 music remixes (including a remix of the title screen from the first Gameboy game, WTF?!) and the two Power Games are also unlocked. After this however they split:

Gamecube: Has an interview of Inafune on G4TV, goodie. It does NOT have the remixed soundtracks for MegaMan 4 through 6.
7 out of 10

PS2: SUPER FIGHTING ROBOT, MEGAMAN. Yes, it has an episode of the cartoon. In addition it has the remixed soundtracks for MegaMan 4 through 6, something that the Cube version is lacking.
9 out of 10

XBOX: Has all of the material from the other two versions. Comes at the price of using a sucky controller.
10 out of 10

Plot: The various plots are the same in their respective games, and there is no new content with a plot to judge, hence no judgment

Difficulty: You have a fucking difficulty setting you asses.

Overall, this collection has a quite a few great games on it, any one who enjoyed the classic series should probably pixk up this.

Positve: Not having to dust off various other systems to play these games.

Negative: Getting stares from people who wonder why the hell you are playing 8 bit games with a PS2.
