famous blue action hero returns in this latest installment to Capcom’s growing
Mega Man anthology with the planned release of Mega Man® X Collection for the
Nintendo GameCube™ and the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system. Mega Man

Entertainment System and PlayStation game console. Witness the beginning of the
futuristic version of the blockbuster franchise and experience the
never-before-released-in-the-US Mega Man PlayStation game: Mega Man Battle and

Man X must thwart Sigma’s army of renegade reploids and their evil plan of
destroying the world. Faced with intense challenges, X, his robot partner, Zero
and Dr. Light must band together to intercept and prevent the forces that
threaten total annihilation. Mega Man X Collection features a retrospective of
X’s humble teenage beginnings on a 16-bit system to its initiation into the

as they battle through each subsequent adventure while unlocking a host of bonus
