The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A demanding trip through gaming history where you battle robot masters across a decade of precise, unforgiving platforming action packed onto a single disc.

About

For 15 years, Mega Man games have appeared on consoles, and now you can play ten of them on one disc. Mega Man Anniversary Collection includes the first eight Mega Man games plus two that were never-before-released in the U.S. See how Mega Man has crossed into other media by watching unlockable bonus features, including footage from the original Mega Man TV Series, over 30 original artwork selections, and remixed music tracks inspired by the series.

What players say

Viewed as the version to own of this retro Mega Man compilation, with faithful controls and intact music; remembered warmly as a nostalgic celebration, in contrast to the GameCube edition's infamous reversed jump button.
