In a surprising turn of events, it seems westerners are getting the better game deal for a change....

Capcom will release Panic Maker (Under the Skin in US) and Rockman Power Battle Fighters for PlayStation 2 in Japan on August 5, for 6800 yen and 2800 yen respectively. Rockman Power Battle Fighters is a compilation of the two classic Rockman arcade games -- Rockman Power Battle and Rockman 2: The Power Fighters, which are taken out from the Rockman Anniversary Collection

...not only are JP PS2 owners only getting 2 of the 10 games from our Anniversry Collection but they're paying the same price for just them. And Gamecube/GBA owners don't even get any collections at all, poor guys. I bet Japan still gets nicer cover art though....

Why the hell are they taking them out of the collection? Weird

 

[brandonnn]

<Japan> we'd be totally jealous if we hadn't gotten them on PlayStation in 1999 and then again as PSOne Books just a year ago

With all the extra shit that the Japanese get with their games that we never see here in the States, I doubt this will hurt their feelings much.

Japan already got a Rockman collection. It packed all six of the PSone remakes together, and threw in X7 for free.

Japan still misses out on Rockman 7-8 even if you count the recent Complete Works rereleases.

Yep. And they're getting X7, which is of questionable benefit.

Is there remixed music, or has it been nixed like I've been hearing?

 

[Wario64]

I remember the annoucement last year said it would have a remixed soundtrack, but I never heard anything about it since then

I'm fairly certain Capcom will find some way to screw this up, but hey, we can always hope.

 

[jarrod]

Given that it's being handled by Atomic Planet (the guys who delivered the bug ridden crashing Puzzle Fighter GBA months behind schedule) I'm thinking a "screw up" is inevtiable. Hopefully not that bad though....
