The MegaMan series has been one of the best video game series for the NES, and for great reason. It had precise controls, amazing graphics, and fantastic gameplay that will keep you entertained. The series even went on to MegaMan 7 for the Super Nintendo and MegaMan 8 for the Playstation, although those games don't hold much appeal compared to the NES games (They are still good games though).

Now you get to experience all eight games (Before 9 and 10) from the original series and two arcade games that are also fun to play. You gotta love the bonus content packed in here, too. The interviews, the pictures, etc....

I think it should come to little surprise that the NES games are 8-Bit thrills. MegaMan 2 and 3 are probably the highlights of this disc, due to how fans argue about which MegaMan is better: 2 or 3. One thing that sets off some fans, however, is that the A and B button controls are swapped in Anniversary Collection. But how does that change the experiences for these NES classics? It doesn't change a thing. All you gotta know is: These games are classics, and you must play them.

MegaMan 7 and 8 kinda slip away from the NES games' style. For instance, the intro and ending for MegaMan 8 are anime-styled. And there's just something that is missing from the two games that the NES games have. Who knows what it is, but I think it's the feel of an 8-Bit MegaMan title. Nonetheless, the two games are still pretty good.

Now to talk about the arcade games. I do manage to find an Ultracade cabinet with MegaMan: The Power Battle built-in, but I don't see a lot of ones that feature MegaMan 2: The Power Fighters.

Power Battle allows you to play through 6 robot masters and 2 Wily bosses. You can choose to play a course selection of either MegaMan 1-2, MegaMan 3-6, or MegaMan 7 (8 wasn't made yet when this game came out). As you may already know, the game takes the bosses from the mentioned games and it has you fight them to move on. It's kind of like how the NES games do it, except without the stages themselves, and only the boss battles. MegaMan: The Power Battle is actually an easy game, but, like all the other MegaMans in this collection, it's still a good game. Co-op multiplayer is the best part of this game. You can play with a friend and together you can defeat Dr. Wily and his robots.

MegaMan 2: The Power Fighters is a bit more challenging than Power Battle. Now you don't get to choose which robots to face from certain games. You're given the ones that are just shown depending on which mission you chose to do. It plays similarly to Power Battle, despite those things.

Overall, this is one awesome game collection. MegaMan fans should definitely pick this up.
