Maybe you'll get lucky and get "Mega Man Collection PLUS" ala the Sonic Mega Collection and PS2.

People are almost positive that SONIC CD will be on there. I'm really hoping it will have Knuckles Chaotix for the 32X. That game still fetches close to 25$ on Ebay.

Well I couldn't wait. Picked it up at Wal-Mart. Read through the manual last night. Says there is an option to set the number of lives you get and difficulty level. ?!? That is pretty lame. Pretty much putting a cheat in there for the young'uns that haven't played a truly difficult game in their life.
Going to play right now.

Target has this advertised for $26.88 this week (both versions).
Picked my Gamecube version up from Wal-Mart several days ago, for $29.99. Great so far. I just wish I could save more than one game at a time.

Minor nitpicking, but they only started manufacturing those last month; there's still thousands of unopened units out there with the digital out still included. I believe it's possible to tell when a particular unit was manufactured by looking at the barcode on the bottom of the system (which is visible through the box) but I don't know what to look for specifically.

Sega probably had a good excuse in the size of the GC disk for the limited "collection".

You can. The game treats each game as a different save. Just save whatever game you are playing to it's slot.

Mega Man rocks!! I forgot how challenging these games were.
I just started playing this morning. They first one is already bringing back memories of flinging my NES controller across the room out of frustration. I haven't had that feeling in a long, LONG time.

I think he meant like 2 different MegaMan3 saves at a time. I wondered about that too. Not a big deal though.

Man! The GC controls are wack. I thought it would be easy to get used to b/c I haven't played these games in 10 years how hard can it be to learn jump & shoot. Well once I got going, the original play style from ages ago is implanted in my brain, kept me from just learning to use the new style. I keep hitting the wrong button at the wrong time, falling to my death.
odd how that is after all these years.

Okay, my brilliant idea was to beat these in order. Got through the bosses for Megaman and now I'm on Wiley's level. I can NOT beat this infernal rock monster. I can barely get him down to half.
Any ideas? I beat the game on my old NES, but I was younger then and my reflexes weren't dulled by beer and whiskey. For fear of destroying my PS2 controller, I had to stop even trying.

My memory is fuzzy. Did the original games give you unlimited continues? Or was it fixed at 3?

On Mega Man 1, if you rapidly pause and unpause while the elec beam is over an enemy, it counts each unpause as a hit. Was most popular to be used against the rock monster, but if I recall, it can be used on any enemy in the game (that actually takes damage from elec beam, of course).

I rented this for GC yesterday. It has been years since I last played a Mega Man game, and the controls still felt awkward. I adjusted to them quickly, but man, I really suck at these games now.....I remember all the old frustrations, problem is so far I haven't even been good enough to get to those areas. I may buy this for PS2 today, so I'm going to be having some late nights with these games for the next few weeks, hopefully regain the old mega skills...
