As the selling point of this game is to have X4-X6 on GameCube, all the games struggle with some minor to major sound issues. The Super Nintendo games, if you’ve played them you’ll know how rich and deep the music and SFX are on X1-X3. That’s been drastically cut back. As well as the music dead stopping for about a full second then looping on all games. A lot of the SFX is botched in all the games in this compilation but to have X1-X6 all on one console, is fantastic. Just at a slight cost of the music and SFX lacking the rich pure feel. Would I recommend it? At the time of writing this review, it’s your best option to play the X series as the original games are quite costly nowadays and for good reason. They’re all great and well worth it. X1-X3, personally are my favorite but the PS1 X games are really good too. If you’re looking to play the X series for the first time, this game is perfect for you.Read full review

Megaman X Collection for the Nintendo Gamecube is a great collection of the best Megaman X games from 1-6 it provides hours of enjoyment and in my opinion the first game may be one of the greatest games ever. With hidden images, music, hints and even another game to unlock you will keep coming back for more with this instalment. The only bad points I had with this game was that after playing Megaman Anniversary Collection I noticed the menu screen was very simple and not as impressive as Anniversary Collection, it also didn't have as many games as Anniversary collection did, as it had 10 great games, this Collection has 7 and one being very short and poor however all is well as the first 6 games are much longer than the games on Anniversary Collection so don't expect any less gameplay. All in all thisis a must buy for fans of Megaman and is a great start for anybody else.Read full review
Mega Man X Collection contains 6 of the chapters in the X series, from the SNES conception to the PS1 days. MMX1-3 are all SNES games and they hold up suprisingly well. Gameplay is slightly altered from the original series, with suit upgrades, the ability to play as Zero, a slightly older Mega Man character - all to give the games that "X"treme kinda aesthetic. All the emulations hold up well, there's little slow-down, graphics look right, and even some of the PS1 load-times are much shorter. For under 15$, you're getting some of the finest chapters in the Megaman franchise - and also some of the best 2D gaming around. But, it's also some of the hardest. I don't know if I'm getting old, but as a kid, I remembered being able to beat these games. Now, I struggle beating single bosses. It's ridiculous how hard these games are. Sometimes a challenge isn't so bad, and if you're a gamer looking for a test, pick this one up. If you've grown tired of 2D games or can't stand the Megaman universe, these games aren't going to change your perceptions - they're still cheesy and still have little to offer besides intense arcade action.Read full review
When Mega Man X Collection was announced, fans everywhere rejoiced. Those who searched learned more and more information from Mega Man sites, such as how Capcom would be developing the collection, how X1 and X2 would receive remixed music, and how bad voice acting would be replaced because it has had it's bad voice acting (not horrible but not good). But something happened. Keiji Inafune, Mega Man's creator, decided in the end to not do this. Capcom was ready to please it's ever-patient fans but Keiji Inafune didn't want the old X games redone in any way. In fact, he wanted them as original as possible. So Capcom had to remove all things that weren't in the original games. Did you want the new cool X voice from X8 and Command Mission to be on all the old games? Too bad. Did you want enhanced cut scenes which might better move the flow and understanding of the games? Too bad. Aside from removing these much awaited improvements, it slowed the release date to about two months later. Personally, that makes very little sense to me. Apparently the reason why Inafune did this, was to rewrite the Mega Man stories in the form of Powered Up and Maverick Hunter X on the PSP. By now you are probably asking why you should bother getting it then. Well, that depends. If you don't own any of the old X through X6 games, this is a bargain! That was exactly the case with me. I loved the old X games but I could never buy any of them. Call it bad luck or bad stores it dosen't really matter now. If you already own all the originals, there is not much to gain aside from Mega Man Battle & Chase which is essentially Mario Kart with Mega Man characters. The games all run beautifully but there are many noticeable glitches, errors, and in some cases bad audio encoding and compression. There are too many for me to have the energy to list but these don't really bug me though and you could easily get used to them. They are all really small and shouldn't get in the way of your fun. Everything in these games are like the originals including the old passwords. Unfortunately, this means both the good and the bad. If you wrote down and kept your old X through X3 passwords, you can continue from your password. But X still sounds like a girl in X4 and the voice acting is still bad. X6 still has the Japanese voices during fights. It was removed from the dialogue in the cut scenes. Personally, I prefer good Japanese voice acting to bad English voice acting anyway. Gamecube players also get a nice treat. Aside from slightly faster loading times, they can also get a nice Mega Man X customized controller. It makes Mega Man playing on the Gamecube even better. The buttons are better positioned, at more prefered sizes, and has two Z buttons. Plus, it has the cool picture of X from X8 on the side. Mega Man Battle & Chase works very similar to Mario Kart except with Mega Man characters. You have to beat the first three X games to unlock it though. The only REAL complaint I have with this game is that the version of X3 they have is from the Playstation. It remixed the music and added animated cut scenes. I prefered the music from the Super Nintendo version, but I can always buy it on Ebay :). The collection also does have some extra gifts. It has original artwork and some remixed music which must be unlocked through playing the games. I have nothing against Mr.Inafune but I think he should think more on his decisions in the future.Read full review
Game doesn't work well with component GameCube digital cable on certain TVs' (Toshiba 57h83) as the game changes resolutions when entering the main game; some TV's don't display a picture as a result. Plays fine on my old TV with composite video connected if you want this to play only I recommend the ps2 version as it is cheaper
