Which is the better? Megaman Anniversary or Megaman X Collection?

[ne2eire]

Looking to replay the old games, which one should I get? Anniversary or X Collection? Thanks

x collection

[fatbeer]

I say x collection is beter because of the refine game mechanics.If you like old school get megaman anniversary.Either way both games is must have even if your not a megaman fan.

X collection is far better. You may as well get both though.

[botticus]

Other than the crappy button configuration on the Anniversary Collection, they're both good. Obviously if you liked MMX better than the originals, you'd like the X Collection better, and vice versa.

Those old Mega Man games are no joke! I thought I just sucked but I fired up Mega Man on my NES and played fairly well. For some reason, I just can't control very well on the GC version. I can't speak for the X Collection since I haven't played it yet though.

The original Mega Man games were good (I personally liked 7 and 8 best since they had the most to them like the shop system) and I enjoyed all the games overall... but I absolutely fucking loved X Collection. I looked forward to X Collection since it was first announced and I love it. The gameplay is simply very polished and represents some of the best 2D gaming there is.

X collection is much better.

Get both:drool:.

X Collection. I never liked the originals, but I like the X games quite a bit. They far improved the game mechanics.

I like the original better. The x collection gets cookie cutter after x2.

You know it's coming.

Edit: Forgot to mention something relevent to the OP. If you can open up your controller and switch the wiring in the buttons, Anniversary would be great. The X collection I have not played yet, but reports are is that it is a better released. More polished.

Anniversary collection is much more enjoyable for me. All the NES MM games are solid, especially the first 3. I only liked MMX 1 & 4.

Right on... the Anniversary Collection is really where it's at. The MMX stuff falls apart pretty quickly. The inventive spark of the old school NES games just isn't there for me on the MMX titles.

The original Mega Man series owns. X collection is great too but the games pretty much decline in quality with every sequel.

[Zenithian Legend]

The Mega Man X games had a lot more to them, than the original Mega Man games. However, Mega Man is a classic, and if you haven't played the original Mega Man games before I suggest you do.

I'd get Mega Man AC first, play though it and then get the Mega Man X collection.

If only they release the GB Collection first...

Did they fix the controls for X Collection? I couldn't play Anniversary Collection the way it was set up.

[Starky27]

Yes, you can set up the controls however you like...

[Josef]

You really can't go wrong with either collection (I got used to the controls on the Anniversary Collection).

[Nephilim]

I like the X collection better.

Has anyone opened their controller and switched the wires around? If no one has, I'm going to try it. I bought some Gamecube bits to open up my controller to do this, but have not go around to it yet.
