True, but given how many games it has and those games having plenty of content you do get a lot of bang for your buck.

I remember seeing old Gameboy (color) games on the Nintendo E-shop for 10 bucks each, like the original version of Pokémon Crystal.
Getting 6-10 games with added functionality and on new platforms, seems about what you'd expect.

Yeah, that sounded a lot like him.

I wonder if they did, especially since they're going to be releasing episodes of the anime and the NT Warrior dub on their youtube channel.

Maybe I'm just stingy.

Im looking at the game's page on steam & it seems like as a bundle (Vol 1 & 2), it will cost $81 in my country. I cant seem to see a price tag when looking at each Vol separately but i think its safe to assume that each Vol will be sold at half of the bundle's price (so like $40.50). I only want the first Vol so hopefully that is an option.

Yep, it's him.

Considering how much work they're putting into this collection, even online features, the price seems pretty fair to me.

It's not just the trailer, there's a fully voiced representation of MegaMan.exe in the game who serves as a guide to the collection.

Until the official release of the game all digital pre-orders are bundle pack only. That means if you want the pre-order bonus content you must purchase both games.

In my case I don't mind at all since I am a completionist.

And on Rockman's (Megaman) 35th Birthday today! Quite Nice!

The series inspired an anime titled MegaMan NT Warrior (Rockman.EXE) in 2002. The Kids WB block aired the series in the West in 2003.


We don't talk about NT Warrior...

Im glad the battle network games are getting a collection, but I could have done without the online play. Im not confident many people will care for it.

Otherwise, I look forward to the music player. The battle network series has some bops

My favorite game series as a kid. I'm looking forward to being able to replay it. I'm also pleased this release will be based on the Japanese version, so there won't be any missing content this time around.

It's cool they're re-releasing the NT Warrior anime too. Though I'm disappointed it's dub-only. I was hoping something would come of ShoPro gauging interest in a potential subbed stream of Rockman.EXE last year.
