Mega Man Anniversary Collection Out
Laptop Battery Capcom has announced the North American release of Mega Man Anniversary Collection. The game should be available in stores now for the GameCube and PlayStation 2.
The anthology, which is rated 'E' (everyone) by the ESRB, features Mega Man I through Mega Man VIII. In addition, Mega Man the Power Battle and Mega Man 2 the Power Fighters are part of the Mega Man Anniversary Collection.
Mega Man Anniversary Collection features a producer interview, which is exclusive to the GameCube version of the game. The PlayStation 2 version of the game exclusively features an anime video and a new soundtrack in Navi mode. Both versions of the game have hidden original artwork and remixed music.
Capcom says, "In the Mega Man Anniversary Collection, players will be challenged to see if they have the skills to master some of the most extreme Mega Man titles ever released and to unlock a cache of bonus features that includes 30 minutes of anime, a producer interview and a history of the series. The Mega Man Anniversary Collection provides a comprehensive look at Mega Man's progression through the years, as this near human robot embarked on his journey to become one of the longest running videogame icons to date. Take a trip down memory lane, reliving Mega Man's numerous quests to defeat Dr. Wily and his attempts to control the world and its resources. Gamers will reacquaint themselves with past adversaries such as Metal Man,Gemini Man, Pharaoh Man, Centaur Man, and Tengu Man, just to name a few. The Mega Man Anniversary Collection encompasses everything a new and hard-core fan would want for their existing library."
Todd Thorson, Director of Marketing for Capcom, says "The Mega Man Anniversary Collection pays tribute to the brainchild behind this multimillion unit selling franchise, Keiji Inafune, and the original games that he created. It gives gamers, who have not experienced the Mega Man phenomenon, an opportunity to play the titles that redefined the platform genre."
I would say at least give Mega Man Anniversary Collection a rental. If you have never played a Mega Man game before, please do so, you will thank me later. As for Mega Man fans, I dont think I need to tell you what you already know. If you can fit this title into your budget (I know it is hard when trying to save for the rest of GCN amazing 2004 lineup), wait no longer to throw yourself back in time for worth while blast from the past.
