Capcom announces Capcom Classics, Mega Man X Collection
New compilation of the blue bomber's adventures and 20 classic games is on
its way to consoles.
At its recent press event in Las Vegas, Capcom revealed that it was
currently working on a new compilation of classic games starring the mighty
Mega Man. Dubbed the Mega Man X Collection, the compilation appears to be
following in the footsteps of last year's Mega Man Anniversary Collection
for the GameCube and PlayStation 2.
While the details about which games from the Mega Man X series will be
included haven't been revealed, the footage shown at the event contained
clips from several games in the series. More importantly, the trailer for
the game showed off what we assume will be one of the unlockables in the
game, Mega Man Battle and Chase. The PlayStation game that took assorted
characters from the Mega Man universe and dropped them in a kart game was
never released in the US.
While no platforms were specified, aside from a vague mention of a
multiplatform release, it's probably safe to assume the compilation will at
least hit the PlayStation 2.
At the same press event, Capcom announced Capcom Classics Collection, a
compendium of classic games from the veteran Japanese developer that will
draw on its sizable portfolio of games. Specifics on which games will be
included weren't given, but Capcom reps on hand stated that the games in the
compilation will include old-school favorites, such as some of those seen in
the Capcom Generations compilations released in Japan for the Saturn and
PlayStation, as well as some games that have never been playable on a home
console before.
While Capcom reps remained tight-lipped on the specifics of the games in the
compilation, it's a safe assumption that old-school classics such as Bionic
Commando and Final Fight are candidates. As with the Mega Man X Collection,
Capcom didn't specify which platform the game would be coming out for, but a
PlayStation 2 version is almost guaranteed.
