So, who is getting the MegaMan Anniversary Collection today?

[spooie]

Or tomorrow, as I'm sure most places won't have it in stock until then.



Curious to know which one you'd be getting, if you are? The GCN or the PS2 version? I wanted to get the GCN version because of the interviews, but now I'm not so sure. I heard the GCN version has faster load times and better suppliments, but also their controls are inverted and the remixed music tracks can only be heard in the sound test screens.

If anyone gets the Cube version today, feel free to mention which buttons are shoot and jump and about the music tracks... and also, if anyone knows, whether the MegaMan 8 port is the PSX or Saturn version.

I'll be picking up a copy, cube version

[Querjek]

I'm going to buy the GCN version in a few weeks and I'm going to "get" the PS2 version through some "methods".

[NintendoMan]

I reserved this way back in like Nov or Dec. before they pushed the date back of release. Can't wait to get it today.
I am getting the Gamecube version!!!!

[T]

I'll get the gamecube version

I never know when I'll burn up another
one of these cheaply made PS2's

[Lemmy Kilmister]

Had the gamcube version pre-payed at my local eb for about 6 months. So i guess you could say yes.

[video_game_addict]

I preordered off the Capcom website several months ago, back when they offered the preorders on the second run of Steel Battalion. Supposively it was going to ship with a free t-shirt, I'm wondering if I will see it this week x_x I haven't received any confirmation on it for being shipped as of yet. And they were slow with SB.

I too ordered Gamecube version. I'm wondering couldn't you use the Hori pads with this one?

[Drexel923]

I have the Gamecube version on reserve.

[spooie]

Hmm... no love for the PS2 version it seems.

[Lemmy Kilmister]

Looks like i won't be getting it tell tommorw. I hate those damn shipping delays.

[Crush Crawfish]

Did anyone notice that's I've been counting down for the past ten days with avatar? Oh well. Anyway, I was originally going to get the GCN version (I even bought a Hori digital controller for it) but it seems that Nintendo got shafted again and the GCn version doesn't have the remixed music. So i'll go with PS2 for now, because I'll eventually have both.

[Achika]

Crush, yes I did notice your avatar.

I have the GCN version reserved and all paid off.

[Half Japanese]

Yep, got $10 down on it and can't wait to pick it up either today or tomorrow!

[captain nintendo]

Megaman = Nintendo IMO.......

Yeah I will be getting the GC version today.

[SoulBlazer]

Wait a second, are you SURE that the GC version does'nt have the remixed music?



Damn, if that's true, I'll have to get the PS2 version instead.

But I thought it was'nt coming out for another week? The releate date I saw from EB was 6/30

[lendelin]

Like always, I wait until the little thing drops in price. The last 4 games I got new for $50 (Sphinx $10, SSX3 $20, Winning Eleven 6 $10, Pro Race Driver $10), suddenly $40 or $30 for a new game I want seems expensive.

From a feeling level 8-bit Mega Man games have to be on a Nintendo system, no doubt; but I'll buy it for the PS2. I can't imagine playing Mega Man 2 with the GC controller without getting a thumb injury. I need the SNES button design or at least the NES button design to get the nostalgic feeling back when playing these games, ironically now on a Sony system.

[lendelin]

BTW, I read that the little 'select'-trick doesn't work anymore for Mega Man 1 and 2. Yikes! Good luck with the Rockmonster in MM1 and the bomb-room in MM2.

[SKVermin]

Dropped by the local EB today but they won't have it in stock until tomorrow. So I dropped down the cash for a GCN version to be sure I'd get one. I was holding off on preorders until I shopped the price around.

10 games for $40 CDN? Much better than $25-$30 for just Donkey Kong on GBA. And the Mega Man gameplay has really stood the test of time. My kids'll probably get good use out of it too. They've played the tar out of my Sonic Mega Collection already.

From what I understand, they included the PSX version of Mega Man 8, not the Saturn version.

[spooie]

Oh well. I've never played the Saturn version of MM8, but I'm told it had better controls, slightly better graphics, and an extra stage with Cutman and Gutsman. Anyone with a copy able to set the record straight?

As for the remixed music... there is a Gamespot review where they talk about it not being in there, and the GCN controls being inverted. One of the staff members of Xplay mentioned to me and some others in chat back in May that the E3 version was practically unplayable because the controls were messed up. Since then, a few people told me that was just a prototype version on display and hopefully everything would be straightened out for the launch... but it seems the controls weren't and the music is missing. Either that, of Gamespot reviewed a prototype of it.

[ClubNinja]

I've never played the Saturn version of MM8, but I'm told it had better controls, slightly better graphics, and an extra stage with Cutman and Gutsman. Anyone with a copy able to set the record straight?

Yup. And I'm actually glad that the Playstation rendition will be on the Anniversary disc - it makes owning the Saturn MM8 still feel special

I've been preordered since 1956 (or so it seems that long) and will be getting the GameCube version despite being a little concerned with how the game might play with a stick instead of directional pad.
