Mega Man Anniversary Collection - PlayStation 2

Excellent condition. Minimal scratches on disk. Used but grey value for money. Happy adding this Megaman to my collection.

Wanted to own this again after losing my copy many years ago. Very nostalgic and as fun as ever! I used to play Megaman on NES as a kid, and it's great to have them all in this updated format, plus some fun extra content. Was shocked to see this was a brand new copy still in shrink wrap!

The PlayStation 2 is well-known for having some of the best collections on it and this one is definitely one of the best. The Mega Man Anniversary Collection comes with Mega Man, Mega Man 2, Mega Man 3, Mega Man 4, Mega Man 5, Mega Man 6, Mega Man 7, Mega Man 8, Mega Man: The Power Battles, and Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters.All of which are presented with their original graphics as well as new options which you can turn on or off such as added difficulty settings, an option to use the original 8-bit soundtrack or a remixed CD quality soundtrack (which was previously used in the Japan-exclusive "Rockman: Complete Works" and sound really nice, a weapon switch button which was later used in Mega Man 9 & 10, and a save feature! No longer do you need to write down passwords as the game will save your current game progress to your memory card after you complete a stage.This version also removes all lag from the games, especially noticeable in Mega Man 3 which is infamous for lagging on the NES. The games overall feel much smoother now and refined, even though nothing about them as changed. I do have to warn you though on the GameCube version the jump and shoot buttons are reversed - meaning that A shoots and B jumps. It's not a deal breaker however if you can get this on the PS2 or Xbox I'd suggest it.The reason I would suggest getting this version over the upcoming Mega Man Legacy Collection on PS4, Xbox One, Steam, and Nintendo 3DS is because that version is more expensive and comes with less features than this one even though this one is a decade older.OVERALL: I think this is one of the best collections on the market. It has so much content and anyone who is looking to get into Mega Man or relive their childhood should pick up this version because it is truly the definitive version.

This game is perfect for any fans of MegaMan!

The presentation of the opening sequence on the disk is skippable, but it gives a feeling of "cheap". Thankfully, that's not what this game is for.This game is actually a collection of 10 games.Mega Man 1 to 8, and 2 Mega Man arcade fighting games that were originally japan-only.The games emulate well, and you can turn on a mode that plays remixes of various songs in the game while you're running through it, though not all songs for all the games, oddly.And if you're terrible at old games, you can turn on "Easy Mode" which removes some bad guys and even makes your attacks 1.5 times in power to normal.Ignoring minor complaints about how they changed the ending sequence of Mega Man 7 and the occasional sound effects being weird in Mega Man 8, the game emulates all these classics rather spot on. I recommend it for anyone looking for a collection of classic game goodness.(bonus: you can unlock the pilot episode of the American cartoon to watch as well!)

When Mega Man Anniversary Collection came out in 2004, it was a stupidly-awesome deal. 10 games, two of which were previously unreleased, for 40 bucks? You kidding me? 12 years later, however, one might confuse this with the just-released Mega Man Legacy Collection. While I'll buy anything with that goofy robot mug on the cover, the Legacy Collection actually features much less content, for the price of a modern game.If you're unfamiliar with Mega Man in general, and you've still got a ps2/xbox/gamecube kicking around, then the Anniversary Collection is a great and cheap way to get familiar with one of the most important video game franchises in the last 30 years. It features Mega Man 1-8, as well as two arcade beat-em-ups called Mega Man: The Power Battles 1 and 2. Any fool with an emulator can play most these games, so you're probably wondering, "What makes this package stand out?"Features. A smorgasbord of wonderful features.One can now save in any of the 8 main games, removing the need to memorize grid-based passwords. The password input menus are still there, making it possible to skip ahead if desired, but the ease and usability of the new save system cannot be overstated. Mega Man 1 is not quite the soul-crushing exercise of futility it used to be. It's a good thing.Speaking of the older Mega Man titles, they've had their music redone for the collection. The remixes are not always better, but the option can be turned off in the main menu.This collection also offers the two "Power Battle" games, which have never been playable on a home console before. They are a fun beat-em-ups, with multiple playable characters and big, dirty sprites that tug at my arcade nostalgia like nothing else. The two games essentially play like a "Boss-rush" mode, featuring plenty of Mega Man villains from across the series, and you can tackle the ladder of opponents with a friend, if you'd like, thanks to the inclusion of local multiplayer.The final "feature" that makes this a worthwhile purchase would have to be the plethora of unlockables awaiting those who want to tackle all 8 main series games. Depending on which console you buy it for, you can unlock music, interviews, concept art, and even episodes of the Mega Man cartoon of old.I would also remiss if I didn't mention the excellent Mega Man 7 and 8, which aren't included in the recent "Legacy Collection." Both were kind of shrugged-off in their day, possibly due to unrepentant badassery of the Mega Man X series, which was being steadily released by that point. Still, these games are fantastic, especially 8, which features a truly unique, if sometimes goofy, cast of robot masters. I first played MM8 when i was in grade school, and I still wake in cold sweats with the words "I'm Grenade Man!!!!!" echoing through my mind like a cacophony from Hell. Good stuff.Seriously, if you haven't gotten the chance to play these games, especially the Nes-era ones, this is a great option. At 10$ for 10 games, how could you go wrong?Hope this Helps!-Terry Bop's Bright Side Gaming
