I recall X collection on PS2 working just fine. Anniversary collection was the one that had lag problems, IIRC. Hopefull Mega Man X3 will show up on Wii/Wii U VC someday. It always irked me that they ported the PSX/Saturn version of X3 for the X collection.
Fixed that for you.

So do I have to be the first to mention the greatness of the Boomer Kuwanger stage theme? for shame.
But this does speak volumes about how good the soundtrack for Mega Max X is, everyone has their favourite and they're all good choices.

Played on the world's smallest violin.
I'm not so sure about that
Well X is the best character in Mahvel 3 at least? No but seriously speaking I feel nothing when it comes to Rockman announcements.
neogaf does what capcdon't
The really shitty thing is that the Rockman DASH/legends games never got complete OST releases, and 2 only had a handful of tracks. They didn't even rectify this or include the games AT ALL in the Rock-can.

I guess they felt that the PSX/Saturn versions were 'upgraded' or something, but I'm with you. X collection on PS2 ran fine, imo.
To be fair, we're talking about a company who can't spell its own name correctly.Chemo said:
I'm expecting their December announcement to be an iPhone title.

Truth. I may really favor those two I mentioned, but I like all the tracks other X fans have mentioned too.

Kind of a shame, since the music arrangements in the PSX version were awful (aside from one particularly great track, anyway)
Probably :/

I am mad that Powered Up ain't on PSN. Maverick Hunter is and it looks great on Vita.

Mega Man's 25th anniversary isn't for nearly 6 months. Thread fail.

The E-Can looks pretty awesome. Also yay for being born in the same year as Megaman creation! :3

OP forgot the most influential MegaMan game of our time:
It sold so poorly it killed both Battle Network and Star Force at the same time!
Well, you can't expect anything else when the selling point is reduced to one fight in one of the worst games in the series.
I remember how Seth Killian once mentioned that Capcom Japan doesn't think that Mega Man is popular in the west. When I read that for the first time, I just thought he was referring to the way that MM2 and MMX are put on a pedestal, and the rest of the series gets a middling response. But now I think they meant that most people won't buy anything with Mega Man's face slapped onto it. And I, for one, am OK with that.

It is. Perfect tribute to the source material, and the shining beacon for Archie's entire comic catalog (since regular Archie's a waste of brains).
Rockman X and its sequels, going up to 6, already got a soundtrack release years ago. So did the Classic games, for that matter. This 25th Anniversary stuff is just going to make all of that easier to own on disc.

Something just hit me: With S-Kill gone from Capcpom, will we ever learn the Mega Man 9 and 10 super duper gumdrop secrets?

OK, I already heard people in this thread say that the PS2 version of the Anniversary Collection is shit, but how about the Xbox version? I know that 8 is apparently borked when playing on 360, but is there anything else I should be weary of?

The chart has Mega Man V (Wii Virtual Console) listed as Mega Man 4.
Also, I never knew there was a Mega Man Tennis game. Looking up some Youtube videos, and it looks pretty neat, actually!

Was going to post this. Otherwise, that timeline is awesome.

As far as I know, there were a few other graphical glitches in some of the other games, too. (At least when played on a 360.) The PS2 version was actually pretty good, even if there were a few minor issues. There's also the GC version, although there's the whole button switch issue.

Picked up #14 the other day. Might read it tonight.
The comics really are decent, folks! Cover art is usually fantastic.

Huge Mega Man fan here, but I think the Archie comics, aside from the first four, have really been sub-par.
I've still been buying them to support the cause, but from #5 on, not only has the art been more lax, but the writing is generally pretty terrible.
I want to like them, but they make it pretty tough. Everyone should still buy them though.

Well not like it's the first time or anything
The only thing keeping Megaman from Super Dead Robot status really.

Ahh, Mega Man. Been a favorite since the anniversary collection I got back during early grade school....been improving and ever since love the difficulty factor in his games.
Oh definitely! Such care for the franchise and attention to little details (such as the vents on the back on Mega Man's helmet). I actually didn't know about the effect that Crashman's weapon had on Heatman until I read the manga!
Yeah I really need the SNES version of X3. They butchered Blast Hornet and Gravity Beetle.
I loved Ariga's take on Elecman being a bauss and Skullman,
with him being the main antagonist of the MMIV arc and redeeming himself
He also has a New Project in the works.
And I would look into the Archie comics Azure, the arcs(4 comics) are coming out as graphic novels. The art is really faithful to the original series.

No kidding, I was always under the impression the non-SNES MMX3 games would be an upgrade. But then the remixed music sucks, and the animated cutscenes ended up being dumb. Hell, the animated cutscenes were worse than old spiderman cartoons.

I haven't read any Ariga yet, so perhaps I'm missing out. But there's nothing wrong with Ian Flynn's Archie MM at all. It's lacking in areas, I suppose.
Eh, to each their own. The pacing has been too fast, admittedly, but they're fixing that.
As far as the art goes, Spaz tends to be too busy to do interiors for anyone, let alone whatever Archie pays.
I keep meaning to buy those, they certainly look good.

There might be a game, then again, I am thinking that Capcom will release more figures, and maybe a new animated series, or heck, even that MegaMan game that was made for Koreans. (wishful thinking)

How is Bad Box Art MegaMan's sad wailing face screaming "Caaaaaapcooooooooom!!!" in misery not a meme yet?

Has it really been 4 years since Star Force 3 came out? I'm one of the more hardcore Mega Man fans, having played every major game except X7 and the Legends games.

OSS was such a cashgrab it still sort of irks me. I just remember following the news on that game and every bit that came out just got worse and worse. At first everyone thought it was a full new game, then it turned out to be a BN1 remake, then it turned out to be a BN1 port with like half an hour of new content.
Hell of a way to celebrate EXE/SF's 10th game. Hate to see what they've got planned for the series' 25th year.
I've actually been thinking about the MMX series nonstop lately. I spent a couple hours yesterday watching speedruns of the early X games (along with some of my other old 2D favorites), and I've been playing the PS2 collection, Mav Hun X, and Kirby's Return to Dream Land (not exactly Mega Man but I've been meaning to buy it and finally did ) while catching up on podcasts today.
I blame all the constricting stuff I've been playing recently (Ultimate Ghosts 'N Goblins, Uncharted: Golden Abyss, Lollipop Chainsaw, ME3 for the new ending, etc.) for making me crave something that doesn't feel like I'm wading through molasses. It seems that MMX has always been my go-to brain defrag comfort food besides fighting games and a few other standbys.

I'm going to finish Gravity Rush eventually, I promise!
