For those of you who have heard about the Mega Man Zero collection coming out in Japan hoping for a US release can rest easy today as Capcom has decided to bring the game over.
In a press release sent out today, they stated the the Mega Man Zero series has sold almost 500,000 copies in the United States alone; that’s a pretty big number for a hand held release that isn’t a Mario or Zelda game. Also, included in the release was the information about when the game would hit store shelves, with a tenitve “early Summer 2010”. The Mega Man Zero Collection will have all the Mega Man Zero games (1-4), which is great news for those who originally missed out on the series. Trailer after the break.

Well, I'm glad to hear that this is getting a NA release so soon. I'm definitely picking this one up. If you even remotely like Mega Man, I heartily recommend that you check this game out, as the Zero games are some of my favorite Mega Man games, regardless of platform. I do hope that they add some new content though. Some additions such as the ability to cross game weapons (such as using the Recoil Rod from MMZ3 in MMZ4) or some bonus levels would be nice (though 4 of the GBA's best games on one cartridge is already a bonus enough). Still, I've heard that III is being hired to remix the original music, and that they've included a gallery feature that showcases concept art (here's hoping for some translated material from Rockman Zero Original Works).
I'll likely check this out…but I really wish we could get a re-release of the Mega Man X games. I only ever played the first SNES one, but I feel like I missed out on a lot of good gaming by never checking out the rest.
^Megaman X collection on the Gamecube?
Anyways, I think this is great and I'll definitely get it. I always wanted to try these games and I liked ZX so this seems like an obvious choice.
However, I also want X Collection and a SNES-to-GCN converter…
