Mega Man Zero Collection Announced for June Release

Awesome! June isn't too far away... excitement for this game has ramped up a little bit more in me.

They do

Really looking forward to playing these games for the first time.

"Spend $30, get Zero"
Ha ha, I think this contends for best tag line

As long as there is no L&R buttons used...

Ah this looks great. I will be going to new york for a school trip after school has ended. I'll probably get this for the ride there
Edit: Noooos I can't cuz this comes out a couple days later . Ah well still looks great.

First game was awesome but MAD hard! Can't wait to play it again and the others since I never got around to the others.

Hmm, I may get this.

Hmm, I don't think I'll get it, already have 1-3.

Although it is tempting as they're phenomenal.

I'll be getting it for sure! I can't wait!

looks really good, i may buying just for collection purposes... plus dsi doesnt play gba D:

I need to replace my DSi (shoulder buttons have been nearly kaput for months) but when I do, this will be one of the first new DS games that I'll purchase. I haven't touched ANY of the Zero series of games (too busy with the Battle Network series) so this would be an interesting treat.

Did they seriously use japanese text in an english trailer? lol. I'll probably pick this up at some point. The games look pretty good.

really wish i was interested but honestly i cant say i am...looks kinda lame

I never played the Mega Man Zero series. Are they like the 8 bit Mega Man games at all?

I borrowed MMZ3 from a friend and finished it a week later. It was a blast to play, but getting everything perfect was ludicrous!!! I will get this when it comes out, can't wait for it.

It plays more like the X series but with added difficulty and more skills.

I only played the first. I loved it. It was the hardest game I have ever played, but after learning the tough parts you felt like Chuck Norris!!! Trailers music(mostly soundvice) reminded me a bit of E1M1.

Wow, when I first looked at this game in my Nintendo Power, I didn't give it a second thought. But when I saw this... it looks great!

Clarification for you guys who never played these games; a short introduction.

The Mega Man Zero games is the sequel series to Mega Man X, though it's not quite the same as the X games. In the game, you take control of Zero from the X series, although this Zero is physically very different from the original Zero. He carries a handgun, a different Z-sabre and even gets other main weapons.

It takes place another 100 years into the future, and takes place around the conflict between Neo Arcadia, a city that is home to the humans, and a group of reploids on the run from Neo Arcadia, which seeks to neutralize them all to ensure peace between humans and reploids. A human scientist girl, Ciel, resurrects the remains of Zero and seeks his help to make a stand against the wicked leaders of Neo Arcadia. That's how it starts. The plot references the X games, but mostly stands on it's own with a large cast of characters and original design.

The gameplay is a lot like the later Mega Man X games, with quick movement and offensive combat in it. There's no real special weapons to achieve from bosses, but you do unlock ammo-less main weapons a la Devil May Cry and gain special moves for most of them in most games. In some games, you can even level up your proficiency with the weapons.

The difficulty is STEEP, and there's a ranking system involved. Also, there's so-called Cyber Elves to be used to boost your abilities, raise your max HP and even get some backing firepower.

I'm a huge fan of Mega Man Zero, so this is great news, really. Mega Man Zero 4 is the best Mega Man game since MMX back in 1993. 4 deep, dark, fascinating Mega Man games on one cartridge? Sold.

^And Zeroes(at least the first) have slight MetroidVania feel in them.

Sadly my DS went OS(one sceen), but this will be amongst my first 3DS purchases!

Can Zero do a wall slide? Ive missed that playing the old Mega Mans.

a question for those who've played any of these games: i got all the way to Wily in MMX back in the day and got bored trying to beat him, so i gave up. these games look/sound interesting, but am i just going to get bored again at the end due to the difficulty level?

In all honesty, if MMX at the end bored you due to its difficulty, none of the MMZ's are any different as they ARE difficult, like MMX5 and MMX6 difficult (minus the cheap hit detection). Although I will say, if you use up every CyberElf you come across, the games become MUCH easier, which makes me wonder why they took it one step further with an Easy Mode. Hmm... don't know how easy this easy mode will be, but it might be right up your alley theblackdragon... stay tuned for the review...

Just pre-ordered it. I can't wait to play them.

Can't...wait...pain...getting...to...me......

EDIT: On a side note, there seems to be no difference in the sprites from the original MMZ1 and the MMZ1 in the collection. While I'm not surprised (the game's basically a straight DS port of the GBA games), it would've been nice to see Capcom go the extra mile. Oh well.

Excellent value for $30.

This is on my list...and it's only $30!
