- Considering a hot key for save/load state
- There’s a platinum trophy for PlayStation 4
- No Navi Mode (i.e in-game hints)
- The intent of this collection is to present MM1-6 on modern consoles in the highest quality possible. *If* sales are good, they will consider collecting other Mega Man games.

- They did not specify why the Wii U is being left out, just one of those “not right now” answers

– Save slot for each game
– Won’t feature any new art that isn’t featured in the big Mega Man 25th anniversary art book
– No filter, NTSC composite simulation, RGB monitor filters
– Unclear if 3D will be supported
– Can stretch 16:9 if you want
– Not restoring unused content from the Mega Man 3 cart
– Audio is apparently “spectacular”
– The team contracted an expert to help with audio
On the project’s intent:
My god, though, I promise this isn't a cheap cash-in collection. This is our attempt to prove there's a market for respecting our heritage.

Decision to focus on the first six Mega Man games:
@ZeroAndShadow @Capcom_Unity because I'd rather spend time on extras than on making more games work
