Megaman: Anniversary Collection
There are many, many games that I could yammer on about in the old school category. Those of you who actually read my gaming articles, which I don't think is many, might see that.
One of my all-time favorite videogames from the past is the original Mega Man for the NES. It was the first platform game I had a real problem with. Well, only in one area. But, I digress.
I don't have tons of room to set up all my systems, and therefore some are deligated to the closet until the supreme urge to play them rears up and forces me to pull out the old systems. The last time I did was the time I was trying to find Faxanadu for the NES. It has to be my favorite 8 bit game. Well, next to Final Fantasy.
When Capcom released info last year that they were bundling up previous Megaman games, I was excited, except for the fact that it was on the Game Cube. Later, they released it on the PS2, and there was much happiness. I picked it up and reveled in old school paradise.
This collection contains Megaman 1-7 for the NES, and 8 that was out for the SNES. Better yet, they offer a bonus. You can unlock two never before released in NA games, Megaman Power Battles 1 & 2. These are fun little fighting games that remind me of Marvel Vs. Capcom for some reason. The fighting games let you pick from Megaman, Proto Man, and Bass. they are addictively fun.
The original games are all here for you, the only thing changed was that you don't need the passwords to continue after you leave the game. That is what the memory card is for. I played through Megaman 1-4 and enjoyed every minute of it. It helps that these are some of my favorite games. And, they are priced lower new, and worth the money for 10 great games.
