VC Monday Madness: Mega Man 3

I picked up a used copy of the GameCube Mega Man Collection for $8.99 from GameStop!

Good deal... although I still hate GameStop!

I already own the anniversary collection, but I hate the reversed a and b button thing, I intend on downlaoding all the Megaman games they may put on the VC solely so I can play them with my Wiimote, I'm only keeping the anniversary collection around for those fighting games.

While I comprehend that the Anniversary collection is the way to get a lot for your money, the control swap was awful.

I'd much prefer to have the VC versions for what would only be $33 if they release 1-7. Granted, no special features and no MM8, but the controls and convenience of being on the Wii menu are a huge perk IMO. So, I'm all for it.

Same with Sonic... playing the Sonic Collection with the backwards GameCube controls is sooo annoying ;)

Please someone gift me MM3. I will pay you back very soon. And even if you dont trust me its only five dollars. . . Pffffft is say that like i have five dollars.

I had the anniversary collection, but the games weren't the NES originals. The NES games had Navi mode built-into the menus which I believe is a left-over feature from the PS releases of these games. Mega Man II didn't have the option on the title screen for difficult or normal because it was worked into the menu somehow. It didn't correctly translate to the normal and difficult versions in the NES game.

The anniversary collection may appear as a good value, but it's version of the games aren't the true originals. The same is true of the X collection which uses another version of X3 instead of the SNES version with the awesome music.

The anniversary collection is good for the fighting games and the ability to play MM8 on a Nintendo console. If down the line the Virtual Console adds Sega Saturn emulation to the list, you could very well see this title appear there as well.

sheesh, I always forget how frustrating these games can be! And even after finishing MM1 and MM2.

My recent game choices have left me with poor MM skills (Metroid, Guitar Hero, and Secret of Mana). blergh.

The A/B swap thing sounds worse than it is. It took me like a second to get used to it.
