Capcom anounces Mega Man X Collection and Capcom Classics

Capcom announces Capcom Classics, Mega Man X Collection

New compilation of the blue bomber's adventures and 20 classic games is on its way to consoles.

At its recent press event in Las Vegas, Capcom revealed that it was currently working on a new compilation of classic games starring the mighty Mega Man. Dubbed the Mega Man X Collection, the compilation appears to be following in the footsteps of last year's Mega Man Anniversary Collection for the GameCube and PlayStation 2.

While the details about which games from the Mega Man X series will be included haven't been revealed, the footage shown at the event contained clips from several games in the series. More importantly, the trailer for the game showed off what we assume will be one of the unlockables in the game, Mega Man Battle and Chase. The PlayStation game that took assorted characters from the Mega Man universe and dropped them in a kart game was never released in the US.

While no platforms were specified, aside from a vague mention of a multiplatform release, it is expected it's safe to assume the compilation will at least hit the PlayStation 2.

At the same press event, Capcom announced Capcom Classics Collection, a compendium of classic games from the veteran Japanese developer that will draw on its sizable portfolio of games. Specifics on which games will be included weren't given, but Capcom reps on hand stated that the games in the compilation will include old-school favorites, such as some of those seen in the Capcom Generations compilations released in Japan for the Saturn and PlayStation, as well as some games that have never been playable on a home console before.

While Capcom reps remained tight-lipped on the specifics of the games in the compilation, it's probably safe to assume that old-school classics such as Bionic Commando and Final Fight are candidates. As with the Mega Man X Collection, Capcom didn't specify which platform the game would be coming out for, but a PlayStation 2 version is almost guaranteed.

Yes, it was called Megaman Anniversary Collection Collection. It was a collection of all the Megaman Anniversary Collections. It was awesome.

I would buy both for the right price

I was happy with the MM collection

good call Capcom

Holy shit, I am SO all over both of these. I've been trying to get a copy of MegaMan X3 for ages since I lost my old cart. I wonder if these will be the SNES versions or the ones that were released for the PS1/Saturn with the added FMV anime scenes?

As for the classics collection, I just want every side-scroller Capcom's ever made. :)

That game is urine. Still, nice of 'em to throw it in as an extra.

With the licensing those involve, I'd doubt it, heh.

Anyway, I hope these are emulated and not ported. Considering there's no existing PS1 versions of all of these games like there were with the original MM games, it's a possibility, but I doubt they will be. Anyway, if it was just MMX1-4, it'd be awesome. I haven't played the PS/Saturn X3 so seeing the cutscenes from that would be nice too, I guess, heh.
