No Megaman and Bass?

[Everybody do the flop]

I heard that MM and B was part of the classic series, so is it non-canon?

b/c lazy devs

Lazy devs who are clearly tied by lazy little things called digital distribution rights. <.<

[Everybody do the flop]

So they're not allowed to re-release that game?

Most likely seeing as despite the developer label it was mainly handled by a third party and likely has a poorly written rights contract from the 90s seeing as it was a satelleview / Nintendo Power download.

Plus, the game didn't sell all that well internationally. So I think Capcom figured it wasn't worth all the trouble.

Megaman & Bass is a ♥♥♥♥ port of Rockman & Forte. Rockman & Forte was a Japanese only release that came out in 1998. Megaman & Bass came out on the GBA in 2002.

The GBA port wasn't great to begin with but it was the only US official release. Sounds/Music was gimped and a the screen was horribly cropped that made it more difficult to play.

I wish Capcom would just release R & F but I don't know why it was excluded.

In the Megaman Anniversary Collection, Megaman Battle & Chase was a game that you unlock and that game, up until that point, NEVER saw a US release.

Rockman and Forte on the SNES was pretty dope.

Exatcly this, why there is no ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ megaman and bass?

The exact reasons I mentioned.

[austinthehotty]

Even 1 of the games in this collection references Megaman and Bass

[Everybody do the flop]

So they literally only care about the numbered classics then.

So many leaps to conclusion.

I mean, is there any other way to take it? Collection 2 already has less games included than MMLC1, so they could have added something else to this collection. Especially since both collections would normally cost the same amount anyway (excluding sales) so this one is overpriced.

Less games but two modern entries with packed in DLC that exceed the base price point all in their own and would have involved payouts to the original developers.

Again pointing out that M&B have a sheer mess of digital distribution rights by comparison.

You say “could have” but it’s more “you wish they could have”.

But you do remember that the DLC was all in the base game to begin with right? I remember a lot of anger that you had to pay extra money to play modes that were already in the release build of the game.
