Easiest way to play early Mega Man games

Whichever compilation you get, stay away from the Gamecube collection, the jump and shoot buttons are reversed on the Gamecube pad making it nearly un-playable.

I made this mistake years and years ago. I think that made me as angry as I've ever been at a game. You can't map the buttons yourself either. What a disaster.

I rewired my original FC Mobile because of this exact reason. Twenty plus years of playing and you flip the buttons? Aw hell naw!

It pissed me off too. Unfortunately, I don't have a console that plays PS2 or Xbox games, so I've actually gotten used to the Gamecube version, and can play it quite well. If you do end up getting the Gamecube version, there are some controllers that let you remap buttons manually.

I remember reading that Mega Man Anniversary Collection is actually a compilation of the Playstation versions of the games, bar number 7. Is this true?

Ignore! Wrong thread!

Emulator with a rewind button.

I never had any problem with the GameCube version of the compilation, and I played and beat all the old NES games. The fact that the buttons were reversed just didn't seem like an issue to me.
