Mega Man Anniversary Collection

Mega Man Anniversary Collection is a compilation of video games developed by Atomic Planet Entertainment and published by Capcom.

Each game has a similar structure in which the player traverses a series of themed stages to face off against boss robots, gain new weapons and abilities, then defeat Dr. Wily in a final confrontation.

For the first six titles, an extra feature is the "Navi Mode", originally introduced in the PlayStation (Rockman Complete Works) re-releases of the first six Mega Man games.

Other unlockable elements in the Anniversary Collection include original art, remixed music, and bonus videos: The PS2 version features the pilot episode of the Ruby-Spears Mega Man TV series, while the GameCube and Xbox versions feature the Mega Man episode of G4's Icons.

[4] A Game Boy Advance version of Mega Man Anniversary Collection was also in development and was originally due to be released concurrently with the PS2, GameCube, and Xbox incarnations.

More controversial was the change in the GameCube edition's controls, which saw its fire and jumping buttons reversed from their original NES configuration with no option to arrange them back making level progression much trickier as a result.

However, it was given a score of 8.0 (versus 8.5 for the other two versions) from IGN for arriving late, in addition to occasional graphical glitches depending on screen settings, which become more apparent when played on an Xbox 360.

The PS2 and GameCube versions of Mega Man Anniversary Collection sold a combined total of over 500,000 copies in less than six months of release.
