Definitly Mega Man. I never saw so many people waiting and wanting this to come out before. :)

[MegaDrive20XX]

Mega Man AC for sure

Midway Arcade 2 in 2nd place

[YoshiM]

Midway Arcade Treasures 2 is an excellent compilation. This time the developers got it right: decent interface, near spot-on emulation and a fairly decent selection of games. It's got an arcade perfect emulation of NARC, what more could you want?

[Wily]

Most of the interested people for MM AC moaned about the inverted controls... so this title wouldn´t be my first choice!

[tholly]

Mario 64 DS

[TheRedEye]

Mario 64 DS

Same. I actually have problems with everything on that list (except Pinball and Atari, which I haven't played), but out of the rest of them, it seems to me that only Mario had any sort of loving care put into its development.

[LeGIt]

Sonic mega Collection - a) it's got more games there than a lot of the other nominees b) the games are classics! c) they rock!

[Crush Crawfish]

Megaman, of course. 8 of the greatest games ever on one disc.

[Sotenga]

Midway Arcade Treasures 2 is awesome... though, I'm still simmering over them leaving out the original MK. Can't win 'em all.

[Jasoco]

Mario 64 DS hands down. I was waiting for a port of that since Nintendo started rereleasing all the Mario games. I knew it was a matter of time before it showed up. And it was more than I had expected.

[max 330 mega]

i voted sonic mega collection, im glad to see its actually getting a fair amount of votes.

[DigitalSpace]

My vote goes to Mega Man Anniversary Collection, despite the minor control issues on the GC version. Mega Man 1-8 on one disc, and the emulation was spot-on.

Runner-up: Atari Anthology. 67 Atari 2600 games, and 18 arcade games, so there's definitely something for everyone here. No problems with the emulation on this one, either.

[classicb]

Megaman was great. I got the PS2 version so I don't know anything about these inverted controls people talk about. I'll probably pick the GC version up too when the price is right just for the other extras. This was really a great compilation all the great old stuff and some new stuff. I also enjoyed the remixed music.

[Phosphor Dot Fossils]

Tron 2.0 GBA = first official release of the Tron and Discs of Tron arcade games since they hit the arcade in the 80s = a beautiful thing.

[SegaAges]

Even though I am a street fighter fan to the core, I have to give it to megaman. they basically gave you every game you could possibly want minus a very slim few. sfac was my second choice, but megaman was released way better than street fighter.

my 3rd choice was definately midway arcade treasures 2. mk2 and 3 plus narc, hell yeah

[gamemaster5378]

I don't understand what the big deal is about Megaman. I dont think those game were that great.

[RetroYoungen]

I voted for the Atari Anthology, beautiful emulation and spot-on gameplay. And the best rendition of the arcade version of Tempest that I know of.

Second place, Sonic Mega Collection. Same reasons, really. lol

[spoon]

Wow, so many good ones to pick from. hopefully the list looks this good next year.

With that said, I am still going with FF 1&2, I just can not stop playing this and am having such a blast. FF 1 on the go=\m/

[Psycho Mantis]

DOA. they added so much more and online play.

[Gamereviewgod]

Midway wins thanks to an arcade perfect MKII. I can play Mega Man all day long on the proper systems. Not much special there.

[Overbite]

Anyone else suprised Katamari wasnt nominated for this award?

[PapaStu]

Anyone else suprised Katamari wasnt nominated for this award?

First off Katamari isnt a Retro/remake game. Please stop mocking the vote and +1ing the threads. Joke or no its not needed.

I voted for DOA, because they took an amazing beautiful DC game and made it run even smoother, slicker and better than it did (which is hard to do).

[Lady Jaye]

I voted for Mega Man.

Midway Arcade Treasures 2 was ok, but it didn't interest me as much as the first one. And I wish they'd have done a better job with the video interviews.

[oesiii]

Tron 2.0 GBA = first official release of the Tron and Discs of Tron arcade games since they hit the arcade in the 80s = a beautiful thing.

\^_^/

[EnemyZero]

my vote goes to mario 64 DS, very suprised i enjoyed this more than the original

[Half Cab Leroy]

Mega Man Anniversary Collection

[Jibbajaba]

I went with Mega Man as well. That's just too much gaming goddness on one CD. The midway collection is a close second, though, and FF I&II is third.
