New Mega Man games

[Coralcola]

This message is directed mostly to Erico, since he's an open fan of Mega Man, but if anyone else knows any information I'd be glad to hear back from ya.

Erico: I'm a mega Mega Man fan (excuse the pun), I know you are too and I was wondering if there was any update about Capcom releasing an anniversary collection for the X-series. I heard some months ago they were planning on it, since they released an anniversary collection for the original series (which I have and love to play!), but I haven't heard anything since.

I'm also curious about something else. Is there any chance, that you know or that you've heard, that a Mega Man 9 will be released anytime in the near future? At this point, it is ridiculously overdue. I haven't heard exactly why Mega Man 8, I think it was in 1997, was the last of the original MM vs. Dr Wily series. Did it not sell well? Was Capcom tired of Wily? Was Capcom too wrapped up in the X-Series to make another... Do you have any insight on any of this? Anything you could enlighten me on, I'd appreciate it. Thanx. ;D

Well to start this post I would like to say That in nintendo power magizine (I think it was the June issue...) It came with a DVD that showed clips of games coming out in the future (and some games that have already been released) Mega Man X collection was one of the games featured on the DVD. And secondly it was either the next issue or the issue after that but there was some information about it (No release date). I also like the Mega man series and want the X collection to come out because I really want to play X3 (The only one I don't have) So anyway that is what I can tell you about it.

Megaman X Collection came out already?! Why haven't I heard about it?! HOLY CRAP!!! I need to buy...MUST...BUY!!!! *ahem* Sorry about that. I'm a little excited at the fact that the Megaman X Collection has released. I will likely purchase it by the end of the week lol. How much did it cost?

[parrothead1983]

WE GOT NEWS! There is a brand new Mega Man series, and it's going to be for Nintendo DS. It's called Mega Man ZX.

Looks like Mega Man will finally find a home on the DS. The new series is going to be called Mega Man ZX. In Mega Man ZX you will be able to play as two new characters to the series, Ale or Van. Famitsu broke the story, and this was the only information they had. I hope that Mega Man ZX continues the tradition of amazing 2d gameplay, and keeps up the quality of the Zero series from the GBA. More info as it comes in.

AND

Artworks: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7.

Huh...looks like they'll be using a Megaman model closer to that of the Battle Network games. We'll just have to see how this works itself out

$39.99.

And about the new Mega Man games they sound really cool!

[Scotty D.]

Holy crap...it's more expensive than the original collection? I suppose that makes sense...being more advanced games...some being from PS and PS2...understandable. Either way...I can't wait to get it.

Here's the official website for Mega Man ZX:

Not yet, but not all of this page can be translated by using Bable Fish, Google Translation Tool, SYSTRAN, or other website translators.

WOAH! Stuff's been happening since I've been gone!

When did that MMX collection come out? I was in my local EB games just about a week ago and didn't see it there! I don't know how I could've missed it!

If I had a PSP or a DS, I'd readily get those new games, but I don't... I do hope they continue to do more remakes of the original series though. Maybe it'll spark a renewed interest in the original MM series, and MAYBE cause an MM9 to be released (PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!!!) *Proceeds to climb back down off the ceiling.*

All good news indeed. ;D I'll be heading back to EB this week to get the MMX collection! Thanks guys!!!!!

[Michael Jones]

I got mine 3 days ago. Also it sucks that X7 & X8 arn't included in the collection. I don't have PS2 and I really want to play them.

[Coralcola]

I just got mine yesterday, and it kicks *insert emotional slander here* (and the Sonic Mega Collection, which is ULTRA SPECTACULAR TOO!)!!!! ;D The only gripe I'd have is that it doesn't include X7 and X8 either MJ, but that is mostly because (I think) that they wouldn't have been able to fit all 8 games on one disc, but I'm not complaining at all.

Did anybody notice that in MMX, in the intro stage, MMX's dialogue with Zero was altered a little bit? The vg people dropped in the word "d**n!" in the beginning of X's conversation to Zero about how he didn't think he was strong enough to beat Vile, which wasn't in the original game... Did anyone else notice any other differences in the original games and the ones on the X collection?
