Retro gaming fans can rejoice as today marks the release of not only Mega Man 11, but also the 30th Anniversary Edition. Capcom have been pumping out Mega Man games since 1987 and have put in a double shift here releasing a fresh new title and a bundle containing 8 Mega Man X games, the 10 Mega Man main series games and of course the latest title Mega Man 11.
This would hardly be the first time either of these franchises attempted to reinvent themselves, but the execution and timing of these releases makes them especially compelling. In the case of Super Mario Bros. Wonder, it's set to be the first new entry in the series in over ten years, introducing a bold new art direction in the process. For Sonic Superstars, it's coming at a time when Sonic Team is on a bit of a hot streak, riding the success of Sonic Frontiers. It's enough to make some gamers consider what other 2D platforming icons deserve a bold new entry, and there's one robot-busting character who is long overdue: Mega Man.
The Humble Capcom Heroic Collection Bundle just launched recently. It has ten items including Monster Hunter Rise, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy, Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection, and more.
I took advantage of the $1 deal for lost planet 3, strider, bionic commando and mega man. 3 of them run great on my steam deck. bionic commando sadly does not.
ive left humble bundle long time ago the pricimng is now off as well as game collection. humble monthly used to be excellent but thasts also downhill
Mega Man 11 is now the best-selling Mega Man game in the entire franchise, selling a total of 1.60 million units.
Mega Man 11 is great for a modern take, but Mega Man 2 is still my favorite. It was the one that got me into the series. What an accomplishment it felt to conquer Wily's castle at 9 years old!
Mega Man 11 Finally Dethrones Mega Man 2 as Highest-Selling Game; 1.60 Million Worldwide. Capcom has announced that Mega Man 11 has sold over 1.60 million units worldwide as of September 30, 2022, making it the highest-selling entry in the franchise.
This bundle is a giant slap in the face for anyone who bought these separately. If you bought each collection and Mega Man 11 when they launched, it's $110 + tax. This bundle is only $80, and if it gets a physical release that's even worse for those who purchased before.
Now I'm rethinking buying 10 on its own because of this.
