so far, ive beaten 1, on wily in 2 and 3, and working my way (for first time ever) through opps in 4.

I bought it so I could play through 2 whenever I want, and I think I beat 3 once but don't remember anything about it. Is 4 good?

I've never played a MegaMan past MM2. Maybe I should get that collection?

The neutrality of this article is disputed.
Please see the discussion on the talk page.

The games in this set are not emulated, but instead ported. However, the ports are not perfect. For example, some controversy exists in the fact that Mega Man 7 had its ending (sans closing credits) removed due to Atomic Planet having a hard time getting the Mode 7 effect to work properly. An infamous moment in the game was also censored; instead of saying "damn" Bass now says "darn." In addition, the original functions of the B and A buttons have been reversed in the GameCube release: B jumps while A fires, whereas it was the other way around in the original NES versions. This in particular caused much criticism. So much so that some reviewers suggested the PS2 version over the Gamecube for that reason alone. Several owners of the GameCube version managed to get used to the new controls, however.

I did finally try out an N64 emulator yesterday, too, and Ocarina/Majora's Mask on the computer. Not worth it, since the original systems are always better(barring save states)
