The B button is on the left on both the NES and GameCube controllers. In the NES version, B is fire A is jump. In the GC version, it's backwards. It is hard to get used to, and when you do, you screw up in other Mega Man games.

The games that started it all ported to perfection!

I have always loved Mega Man, but have never been able to own the entire series. My copies of Mega Man 1-3 disappeared over time, and I was never able to get 4-7, never even got to play 6, and then I got 8 for my PS 1, which eventually got used to trade toward something else (a move I regretted). When Capcom announced Mega Man Collection my response was a mix of "YAY" and "It's about time!"
There is not a Mega Man game from the main series that isn't at least good, if not great, and I've been having a blast playing through all the classics, especially since Atomic Planet and Capcom took the time to polish the titles. The original NES was too weak to be able to properly handle these games without some technical problems. While some could be taken advantage of (Such as the elec beam glitch in the first Mega Man which allowed you to make short work of the games most difficult battles) most dragged the original games presentation down significantly. There is no slowdown, or flicker in any of these ports. Not only that but they bumped up the resolution too. Don't get me wrong, these games are not graphical marvels al la Campcom's Resident Evil 4, but they are not only a collection of the ten greatest Mega Man games ever created, but the best versions of those games ever released. Additionally the remixed music is awesome, the navi mode helps the games instead of hurting them, and the bonus material (especially on the GameCube version of the game) is both fun and informative. Fans of the Mega Man Anime will want to pick up the PS 2 version for the anime episode it contains, though mega man die hards will likely already have the Mega Man DVD sets, and won't be gaining anything from it. Fans interested in the making of and history of Mega Man may be more interested in the GCN version, which features interviews with the series creator. These of course, must be unlocked, and with the glitch fixing that went on that won't be easy. No more taking advantage of the elec beam glitch, its not there. Good luck getting past the Yellow Devil, the Clone, and Dr. Wily now! These games will challenge you in ways that few games do anymore.
Kudos to Capcom, and thank you for a compilation that is long overdue! Thank you to Atomic Planet for fixing a lot of the annoying bugs in the games (although I liked the elec beam glitch, oh well.) I highly recommend this collection for all gamers, as the collection is large enough (including two never before domestically released Mega Man Fighter games) to have something for everyone, and the price is simply too good to be true for such a huge collection. The GCN version is the better version over all as it loads much faster, and has no slow down or flickering at all. The PS 2 version does have some slow down, but it doesn't affect game play very often. I also preferred the bonus material of the GCN version. The only advantage the PS 2 version has is the control scheme. The GCN has a great controller for most next gen games, but has always been a bit awkward in fighters, and old school retro games. It will take some getting used too, and it would have been nice to have an option to let you change the button configuration. A should be the jump button with B being the single shot button. It is awkward, but after a bit of adjusting works just fine. In all, I recommend the GCN version with my only real complaint is that most of the older games still have that black bar on the left side of the screen, and the titles never even filled a 4X3 screen before, let alone a 16X9 (slightly stretched out of course.) I also am disappointed they did not include Progressive Scan, but the resolution is still very good for a collection of 8 and 16 bit games. It's surprisingly very smooth.

Definitely Worth It!

Sadly I have never owned a Mega Man game but I have played many of them over the years for all the different consoles. When I had heard that this was coming out I was looking forward to it since I had yet to play all of the games included in this. Before I got it I had heard some people complain about the newly changed control scheme where they reversed the a(shoot) and b(jump) buttons. Some even said that this was such a big deal that they returned theirs and recommended that others not buy it.
Well I decided to get it anyway and I adjusted within minutes. Man these games are trip down memory lane and are a blast to play. Having 8 games and 2 hidden arcade ones, is really a great value for the money and is well worth it. I had forgotten though that these games can be very hard and unforgiving. Anyway this a great deal and will keep you entertained for a long time if your a Mega Man fan.

An almost flaw-less collection!

Of all the Mega Man games nothing beats the classic series, and the collection has all eight classic games on one disk. Two unreleased arcade games are also included. All eight games are almost perfect ports of the NES, SNES, and playstation games. The only parts that have been changed are the control setup (B is now jump, A is fire, X is rapid fire, and Y is slide)and the addition of the Navi mode which alerts you of danger, displays your health and special weapons, and it turns on new music in the playstation2 version. Overall the Mega Man Anniversary Collection is a great buy at only $29.99.

P.S. This game is actually rated E for Everyone, not Teen like it is displayed on this webesite.

Hard But So Rockingly FUN!!!!

Despite that Mega man anniversary collection is hard it's really cool! But it being hard is cool! My overall favorite dude is in mega man 8, the clown boss!

"this is no joky matter" and "You don't stand a chance" are his two beggining annoying lines! He says them in a really baby weenie way. Mega man anniversary collection also has two never released in the U.S. games, Tons of special feature stuff and tons of levels to explore!

I also like that in Mega man 8, you get bolts in the levels and can buy things!

After every boss you defeat you also get new attacks, for example, after defeating the clown boss you get the electro beam thing, mega man changes color and you can shoot a beam of electricifing destruction!

The power battles {games 9 and 10 I think, mybe just 9} You get to do two player, To any mega man fan or not, I highly recommend this kick butt game!

Great Collection

Mega Man is one of my favorite games, and having the chance to play all the classic nes(and then some) is awesome! Plus the ulockable interview gives insight about the blue bomber...on the "down side" is that some cheats are gone, like the super jump from MM3, but I can live with that!

This Game is SOOOO Sweet

I've only owned 3 since this came out Megaman games(Megaman Legends,Megaman8,and Megaman battle network 3.) And I go on amazon and here it comes, in front of my eyes! GRAPHICS8/10 My aunt owned a NES and let me play megaman and everything looks the same.Still the 8-bit megaman. SOUND9/10 The sound is great except in Megaman8. They changed it all from the PS1 version. FUN10/10 This game is great fun and I recommend it to any megaman fan. (Megaman power battle rocks on high!!!!!!!) I finally figured out how to unlock it but I'm keeping it a secret. CONTROLS10/10 I know Capcom switched the controls and it took a little practice, but don't let that stop you from playing.(Everybody, STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT THE CONTROLS!!!!!!!!!Thank you.) This is a very great game and if you missed out on megaman,buy it now! Thanks, Capcom!Thank you for everything!

Mega Awesome

Finally Capcom has come up with one of their best games ever, and it's not just one game either--it's 10-games-in-1! Not only does the Mega Man Anniversary Collection have the very first 8 original Mega Man hits from NES and Playstation (just #8), it contains 2 additional games that were never ever released in the US. Judging by the reputation of the Mega Man series, those two games are going to be equally-as-great and extremely enjoyable. I recommend this game for anyone who has a video game system compatible to play this game. Also, what a steal at only $29.99 when its going to be first released. It would really not surprise me if this game earns the Game-of-the-Year Award. Don't miss out on some of the greatest video game classics ever. This game is a must-have for all. It will be MEGA FUN!!!

CAPCOM...... PARTY BOOPERS!!!

First of all, yes controls well.. no PROBLEM at ALL!!Quit complaining dont listen to reviewers who complain about controls, if thats a big deal to them then they are weak gamers(no offence),i got used to controls in two days honest, its not that bad.Now I have been a mega, mega man.....X for years it was the best i played it from 1-6(then got ruined by 7)i have also played mega man 8 which was kinda nice but not as good as the X series.The 2 mega man arcade games were coole 8 was great,7 was fine then the rest was all TOTAL CRAP!!i mean the bosses look kiddie and weak(cut man,stone man,air man,so dull..).Capcom had to ruin it by placing the original mega man which is the worst of all!!Honestly who would you rather play with, Zero or Proto man.But since i bought the game i would just go with the flow,hoping that someday capcom would come to its senses and make an X series collection.It does deserve 3 stars because of the 2 arcade games, bonus features and mega man 8 which was the best of all in my opinion.Man i thought capcom would be real wise..suggested only if you had played the series and enjoyed it!!
