This item is great if you do not want to fork over all the money to buy the original mega man titles. I purchased this for $18.00 instead of paying hundreds for the older nes versions. The good side of this game is they allow you to save after beating bosses in any title. This was not provided in the originals. Some would complain stating the save feature makes the game easier. However, I would say it is a must if you do not have a large amount of time to go through each level in one sitting. I also believe the save feature was not provided in the earlier versions because the technology was not advanced enough to provide the game save. This is what we have on all of our games today and should be there. I do have three problems with this game and all of them have to do with controls. First, I do not like how the a button is fire and the b button is the jump action. It is confusing and takes a while to get used to. Even after getting used to it, I still stumble with the controls in times when stressed out or going through a challenging part of the game. I do not like Y button which allows mega man to rapid fire. This is actually a good thing that I guiltily admit I do use at challenging points. However, it should not be there since it makes the game easier. I also do not like that the Z button pauses the game instead of the start button. I do not understand why the controls were chosen the way they were. However, purchasing this item is cost effective. It takes a while to get over the controls and enjoy the game. If you are a mega man, this game is totally worth the price.Read full review

Has a great collection of classic megaman games but the shoot and jump buttons seem backwards and hard to use with the already hard games. Not able to change button configuration kills an otherwise great game collection

This disc makes a pretty convincing argument for retiring our old Nintendo systems. Every Mega Man title ever released in the states is here on one disc. Additionally, there are two bonus games that you can unlock, as well as an interview, production art, and commercials. What I found rather cool is that Mega Man 1 thru 6 have had their control scheme redone so as to incorporate functions used in later games, such as switching abilities with the L and R buttons. We've also been spared of the chore of writing down save codes. Every game on the disc, including the first game, have game save options. Awesome! The only blight is that Mega Man And Bass isn't part of this collection. It's probably the only factor preventing this collection from being considered "complete". Fortunately, the game can be played on Gameboy Advance or on Gamecube, via the Gameboy Player. Definitely buy!Read full review
I didn't catch Mega Man the first time around, so I don't know how accurate of a port it is. This game brings back all the memories of the Nintendo era. Great platforming action with amazing level design makes this compilation worth owning. If you haven't played these games before, they are significantly different than Mario-style platformers. However, it is much more fulfilling to defeat a Mega Man level than to get the infamous "the princess is in another castle" runaround. In my humble opinion, (ratings are out of 5) Difficulty: 3-5 ... Some parts are easy, some parts are extremely tricky. Graphics: 2 by today's standards, superb for 8-bit era. Sound: 4 ... Very appropriate for the levels and not horrible for synth music. Controls: 4 ... A little loose, but plays just like an NES game. Replay value: 5 ... For some reason, I find myself wanting to unlock everything and not cheat. Overall: 4 Even if you haven't played these games before, you will probably enjoy them. If you get frustrated easily, you better buy some extra controllers to go with it.Read full review
If you are a diehard Rockman or Megaman fan, and you have a Gamecube, and you somehow didn't get this game, either I should smack you silly, or I'll let you do that to yourself. Repent and get one on ebay NOW. I know, with the recent 8-bit make of Megaman 9 coming out for the Wii, Xbox 360 and PS3 this collection is incomplete, but still, hey, it is worth getting anyhow (before all 9 games of the original series make it in one compilation for one of the future console giants). Plus, the two Megaman Power Battles (first one is really fun on the arcade) are included. Plus, unlike the PS2 and Xbox version the Gamecube manual is in full-colour, so it'll make a good little souvenir. Go, go, go. The original series is how Megaman began. Those born in the late 90s should take this as your Megaman history lesson, and learn to RESPECT retro video games. You'd better, or I'll jump on your fat stomachs, each and every one of you.Read full review
