All 8 originals plus two Japanese-only arcade titles all bundled together in one neat package.  Solid ports (not emulation), gamesaves, and unlockables are encouraging if you wish to play these familiar classics once more.  The only drawback I found was the GameCube controller's analog pad was small and a bit difficult to use.

Each Mega Man title proves to be an instant classic on almost every platform the blue bomber appears on.  With a mix of 2D platform and shooter elements, it has enough action and the right difficulty for the classic and modern gamer alike.

My personal favorite is Mega Man 2 for badass boss themes and perfectly balanced gameplay.  Which is your favorite?

I cant remember what Mega man game I played a bunck back in the day. I think it was 2 or 3 other then that I have never been into this series. I would think this game is a good deal for 10 games.

It is worth the dough that it goes for now.  I picked up my copy on x-box for a mere 10 beans new.

Considering they took the time to port the classics properly goes to tell you something right there. Never played it but had I been a collector of systems in the era of GC, PS2, XB, I would of certainly gotten this one.

I sold my copy of Mega Man X-2 in the Summer when I needed some cash. I think it went for £27 for just the cartridge. It was a good game but I didn't mind having the money instead.

Megaman 4 is the only one in the original series that doesn't fall apart after the Robot Masters.
