Who's getting it? Who has it already [early copy, that is]? I really hope the controls on the GCN are fixed for those who can only get that version... Personally, I'm not too excited for X5/X6, but whatever. I've already got the PSX version of MMX3, with the cutscenes, so that's something I hope they touched up due to the low quality of that version's FMVs...

I plan on getting this, I already have the Original Megaman Collection for PS2 and found it to be well worth the price tag. Even though this game is two less(4 if you count the two unlockable fighters) games that it's predecessor, it's still a good deal.

I mean, it would make it a 2-disc set for the GCN [maybe even 3?], and on the PS2 are still readily available... Anyways, should be one awesome collection... Battle and Chase sucks though :/. Woulda been better to include the GameGear game, and the GB/C ones as well...

Well I already own the first two SNES games and after renting one for the playstation (can't remember which one) I really didn't care for it so I'm going to pass. Unless further down the road they drop the price like the first collection then I might buy it.
I believe Capcom said the X Collection would feature customizable controls.
I hope so. I still can't get used to the controls on the original MMC.

Im thinking about picking this up, I have the majority of the games on the collection and after X4 the series started to go down hill so I may just end up waiting for the eventual price drop to get for $20 or less.

Is there word yet on if the the version of X3 was the Psx/Saturn version with the anime cutscenes?
Also, has it been confirmed that the cast of X8 re-dubbed previous speaking (and new lines for previous non spoken) dialogue?
Are there any specials a'la the single episode of the cartoon on the PS2 version?

Well, after beating IHX before I left for school made me more and more excited for this collection. Sure, there are ways to play them on many other systems, but this is a nice package and is cheap... And the new voices for some of the games will be interesting [I believe you can choose between old/new voices...].

Hmm to get this or not, got X4 through X8 just need X X2 and X3, could possibly find them for the SNES, i guess it depends on the extra content hehehe.X2 & X3 are each going to cost you more than this $30 collection. The prices for the SNES X games have dropped since the news about this collection, but not by much. Many fans (myself included) consider X1-X3 to be the best of the series, so this purchase is worth it for those of you with X4 and up already.
its a nice collection, it has less games than MMAC but those were mostly 8 bit ports while most of these are psx ports. Sadly no extras, the redub is unknown at this point since no one has mentioned if its there since Capcom first announced it. Like Dogbert said, trying to find X2 and specially X3 on the SNES is going to be way more expensive than just buying the collectiong. It is the psx X3 btw.
If you really want X1 (and even X2) for the gameboy advance get the GBC Xtreme games, they are basically the same games. And it is not likely for this to go on Xbox counting how bad the first one sold. I will also wait for the 10$ price drop since i have yet to finish MMAC, and when i do it'll have happened.

I saw MMX2 at a used game shop a couple years ago. Its price was $115, with an additional sticker on the cart saying: "YES, that is the actual price". This collection is reason enough to bypass those ridiculously high prices.

Picked up one of the last copies (PS2) at Gamestop today. Unfortunately, I won't be able to play it until Saturday night at the earliest because I don't have a PS2 at college. :sad:
Bad news, all: apparently, there are NO new voices, NO new soundtracks (unless you count the PS version of X3), NO rewritten scripts (except for a certain word X says at the beginning of X1)...at least, that's what everyone has been saying. Who knows what may pop up later...

Can someone clarify the debate over the new/old voices for me?
I just recently got into Mega Man, will probably grab the anniversary collection first before the X collection. Always wanted to play Mega Man though I'm not very good at the old school, hardcore platformers.

I'd rather have them all untouched anyway.
I got the game from Software, Etc. today though. I reserved it on the first of this month, and when I went in to ask for it, they didn't seem to remember even getting it in today. Unbelievable. They did have a copy for me though. Unfortunately, I haven't gotten a chance to play it, since I'll be moving out soon. I had to bring my television to my new apartment so the cable guy could set up my digital cable, and I haven't brought my systems over there yet.

Since my brother is in school he asked me to go pick a copy of the game for him. Two questions:
1. Anyone else but me call some places only to find that the stores didn't have copies shipped in yet?
2. Which store (Walmart, Hasting, Best Buy, etc) would carry it at the cheapest price?
The only reason I'm not getting a copy is because I don't have a Gamecube (I'm sticking with my SNES, N64 and Gameboy Advance SP.), but I'm still have X-X3 for SNES.

I picked it up during my lunch break. Mega Man X plays just like I remembered, even down to the 1up trick with the bat.
The only complaint I have about this disc is the sound. I don't know if it's just my TV but the music sounds louder than some of the sound effects no matter what volume I set it to in the options menus (most noticable are Mega Man X's effects when he shoots, jumps, or detroys an enemy).

Not just that, I've also been hearing that they removed the Japanese spoken dialogue from X6 and left it with only text (and maybe, hopefully, music)
Cna't they jsut port the damn things if they're not gonna do a good job updating them (remebers the missing Ending sequence to MegaMan 7 on the first aniversary collection)
I REALLY hope this is incorrect information, noone seems to be able to confirm it yet.

First 3. I HIGHLY doubt they'd try and re-make 4+... IHX was a great game for a re-make, and kept the spirit of the original with it, and I do believe they can do the same for X2 and X3. I hope Inafune decides to add more OVAs, as they are awesome to watch.

I've noticed that in Mega Man X5 for MMXC, some of the letters have been messed up on numerous occasions, like in the first Dynamo dialouge in the beginning, he says "have" but for some reason, the test is changed to "Bave" and it happens elsewhere with M's too.

More Engrish in a Mega Man game is a good thing. I'll be getting this for the PS2 soon, since I want to play it with my Retrocon. I mainly want it for X1-3, and Battle and Chase. It'll be nice to catch up on the 2D X games I missed out on (X4 onwards). For $30, it's a great deal, although after paying only $20 for the Capcom Classics Collection, I might wait a bit.

By getting remake ports. In comparison, the DS is getting a fully-original game (admittedly, after the double-pack that was Megaman Battle Network 5)
I was interested in Megaman X Collection. I love the X series, but if Capcom's decided to move resources from the Collection to a series of at-least-$30 individual games (instead of $30 for a collection)... who knows. What happened to the days of Super Mario All-Stars/Sega Classics Collection efforts of remaking multiple games in one collection?
Dr Crocodile
01-14-2006, 02:35 PM
I wouldn't discount the IHX series so fast. They may be remakes but, from my knowledge, tons of stuff has been added and even some story details changed. It seems like Capcom wants another go at the MMX story so that it won't be as messedup as the latter games ended up making it. But I agree that it kind of sucks, though understandable from a business perspective, that now we have another series to buy. Even with the best deals it wouldn't approach the value of a the collection. I do hope they do a IHX collection in the future though, if the series even makes it through X6, as well as a Zero series collection.

The Mega Man PSP games look really interesting and I want to give them a try.
But the PSP was the biggest electronic mistake I ever made, and I sold it - so they'd better port it to PS2. I'm not buying it again until the PSP (system AND games - $50 is downright insane) goes down to a far more affordable price.

Well the only other compilation package that Nintendo did was Zelda....and that was something you had to get other things for just to buy. All the other re-releases they've done have been separate individual games. So it wasn't like it was a trend. Also the remade Sega Classic games compilation sucks, they emssed up on that one, and they canned the Phantasy star collection that has PS4 in it. But they did do a pretty good job with the GBA PS compilation
Currently there seems to be alot more compilation packages from other companies, it's an excelent way to aquire nitche games that you've only read about in import sections or high end collector magazines. So it's not all bad..
But I'm wary about Capcom's new Megaman game, those GBA Zero games came out frequently and each one took a dip in quality each installment. They took no time making the game good and just ran them out the door.
I think more or less the X remakes are going to try and fix the problems of the X series and buff them out (which is what they should have done in the first place). Overall Megaman has never really been a primary Videogame character in america, he's stayed pretty much a secondary figure. It also doesn't help that the majority of the games he's in are of sub-par quality. I mean X7 and X8 are just bad games, and if anything those need to be re-worked or remastered.

I'm just dissapointed in the little things... The menus aren't nearly as cool as MMAC, and the lack of options is lame too. I would regret purchasing this if I weren't a huge Rockman/Mega Man fan, but if I had only played X1 or just vaguely remembered the series, I would pass. It's definitely a rip-off, but I felt compelled to buy it because it is X1-X6 on one DVD. So... I guess stereotypes are true about the games industry. Oh well, at least I found Command Mission today. If only Capcom had just re-made the X's on the PS2/GCN. As much as I love my copy of IHX, it was overpriced and has a lack of features. Play as Vava/Vile is not a feature, it's just a frustrating experience. He controls like crap, and can't maneuver very well. The OVA was awesome, but the game is still over-priced. Rockman Rockman/MMPU better get ported. I don't feel like shelling out more money on the PSP. It feels like a lost cause. The games are expensive and I don't ever feel like I got my money's worth.

Mega Man 9?
That game doesn't exist.
This is a misnomer promoted mostly by the ROM crowd who decided to arbitrarily peg Rockman & Forte A.K.A Mega Man and Bass (which at the time didn’t have an English name) as “Mega Man 9.” Needless to say Mega Man 9 does not yet exist. Some people have asked if there is a Mega Man 9 in development, and thus far the answer is no, not to my knowledge.

Disagree. Each game plays widely different then the others, if not on the sheer basis that the changes to the helpers vastly change how you play the game. And I've vastly gotten my monies out of Zero 1-3.
I do think we'll get a Megaman 9... but only once Capcom's squeezed each and every drop out of the original Megaman era. At this point, it'd have to be the bridge between the original and X eras, featuring something akin to the final battle of Megaman and Dr. Wily's new robot, Zero... Given the existence of "Megaman and Bass" and not "Megaman 9", I think Capcom's not ready to make that leap yet; they'll milk it for all it's worth with different title variations in the meantime.
And then, Capcom can say "You thought the 'X' in Megaman X was regarding the reploid X... no, it was actually '10'!" and retcon the hell out of it.

True, in the first MMZ game, I only found using an Elf worthwhile was fighting the last form of Copy X. any other time in the game, I did just fine without them.
Figures...
Capcom has always dissapointed with ports/remakes, there is never a way to have a 'nice' collection...
So now MMXC is not really a nice collection since the PSP will get the nice remakes....and even if you spent the money on those they'll probably stop halfway through since Capcom is always like that... Wasn't the PSP also getting a remake of MMLegends?
Knux: hahaha, long before there was a connection between the first and X, I always 'pretended' they were because i was a continuity nut back then as well and i thought "once they make megaman 9, they can say X is 10" :D :sweat:

X4 was the second X title I picked up. I bought it when it was brand new when I just had gotten my first Playstation. X5 took me a little while, but I found it used a couple of months after it was being sold new anywhere, and X6, I only got X6 around June of this past year, it just took me forever to find. The only thing I didn't like was how they cut out the voice dialouge for X6 in the X collection.

While X7 was indeed a crapfest, X8 on the other hand was much better handled and well done. X8 fixed everything that made X7 horrible. The gameplay was fun, the music was awesome, the graphics were sweet (Except for the fact that X and Zero's design make me weep) and the voices were much better since they had famous actors like Mark Gatha and Lucas Gilbertson do the voices to ensure us that X8 would be much better than X7 and it was.

Here's an editorial from the Mega Man Network as to why the MMXC collection is missing a lot of stuff.
http://megaman.retrofaction.com/index.php?main=articles/editorials/editorial019
I find it amusing that once again, the Japanese side of a publisher are the ONLY ones in charge (Nintendo of America learned this the hard way). Capcom of America said that a ton of extras were planned and in fact were done (mostly surface changes like redubs and music remixes), but were ultimately scrapped because the X games are going to be re-released on the PSP. Maverick Hunter X is the best example of this.
This could very well explain the month long delay, as the collection was originally slated to be released a month earlier (early December). It would take about a month to go through the games, remove content, then test it to make sure everything else still worked.
Don't what to think of this, though. I never thought the X games were good enough to warrant a remake, and besides a graphics overhaul and Vile as a super hard playable character, I don't see the point of Maverick Hunter X. Only annoys me more that some minor improvements for six games are sacrificed in order to get gamers to spend 50 bucks on one portable. On the other hand, there are hints of a script change for later PSP X titles, so these could end up being remakes and not just ports.

I hated how you had to run down the hall in order to get to certain games like Mega Man 8 or Power Fighters, when in X Collection all the games are available on the same screen and opt for quicker cursor selection.
Also, the save system in X Collection is much better; Anniversary Collection had that annoyance where you would begin a new game and if autosave were turned on and you were to beat a level, it would erase your current game and replace it with the new copy. In some cases, that may be earlier in the game, meaning that you threw away some hard work in short order.
Other thoughts:
-Huh. Mega Man X4-6 are less fun than I was expecting. They seemed like Mega Man 8 (especially the graphics), except not as polished and inventive with the levels.
-The remixed music and FMV cinemas for X3 were nice, though I couldn't find an option to play the game with its original BGM. Is that option even available?
-The small amount of extra content wasn't that big of a deal for me; Anniversary Collection didn't really have much either. Though for a future collection they should include some of the handheld games, like with Sonic Mega Collection+.
-Still haven't unlocked the racing game. For those that have played it- is it any good?

X2 is much more boring and lame than I remember... Honestly, I never really liked it that much. The Robot Masters were stupid [I mean there's a freakin' sea sponge!] and I didn't think the levels were very long at all. Oh well, I just need to beat Sigma then I'm on to X3... I've been beating X4 and X5 too, as well. X6 is the only one I never played really, and I'm glad I didn't buy it when it came out. It's horrible...

Capcom has always dissapointed with ports/remakes, there is never a way to have a 'nice' collection...
Have you checked out Capcom Classics Collection Vol. 1? Digital Eclipse did a great job with that one (even though most of it is Capcom Generations). Good ports and nice extras. The only complaint I ever hear is why X game wasn't included.

Can anyone tell me why the hell the Ride Armor platforms won't work in X3? I jump on and they do absolutely nothing. I have the dang Falcon Ride Armor already! Let me use it you damn piece of trash!:mad:

You have to first get the Chimera Ride Armor before you can use any of the other armors. To acquire it go to Blast Hornet's level, then use the Tornado Fang on those walls and boxes after you defeat Genjibo and Shriuken *That's the 3D vector graphic star boss thingy. You see the Ride Armor being suspended over a Carry Arm. Destroy it and the Ride Armor is yours. Once you get the Chimera Ride Armor the others will be useable once you acquire them.

Oh I though that might've been the reason. I never actually got the other armors before the Chimera one before so this is a first.

Overall I like MMAC better... Not just because overall I think the classic series has better games, but the presentation and extras were better. And I like having turbo bound to Triangle, which helps a lot... Yes, this wouldn't work in the later X games, but for X1-3, it would've been nice.
