Being a Capcom fanboy, i'm little ashamed to admit that i have only played a handful of Megaman games. Sure my very first Capcom game happens to be Megaman: Dr Wily Revenge on the Gameboy (a remake or compilation of sorts of the first two Megaman NES games) but since then, i have had very little contact with the blue wonder. Like a double-edged sword, Megaman's wild success which led to an insane number of sequels and spin-off has sort of made it incomprehendable to the average gamer. At least that's why i have shy away from the franchise since and perhaps Capcom themselves have recognised this and decided to return to their roots by releasing Megaman 9, the first sequel to the main installment in ten years not withcounting the various spin-offs and other sequels.
If you happened to follow my blog you would know i have a tendency to replay old games in anticipation of new ones and in an effort to prepare for the new Megaman 9, i picked up the Megaman Anniversary Collection to replay the first eight Megaman installments. I have been contemplating which versions to get but since i found the Gamecube version at a nice bargain price i decided to go with that. Its exclusive content also happens to be far more enticing, now i'll just have to see if i got the skills to make it past all eight games as Megaman is notorious for its difficulty.
