Mega Man Anniversary Collection contains the first eight games in the original Mega Man series, which debuted on the Nintendo Entertainment System with the first six games, moved to the [platform]Super Nintendo Entertainment System[/platform] with the seventh game, and then moved again to the PlayStation and Sega Saturn with the eighth game. In addition to these eight games, Mega Man Anniversary Collection includes two unlockable fighting games , which had a limited release outside Japan. The "Navi Mode" present in the PlayStation rereleases of the first six Mega Man games is included in the Anniversary Collection versions as well. In addition, the graphics of Mega Man walking away from Wily's Castle are absent from the credits sequence, as the developers were unable to port certain [platform]Super Nintendo Entertainment System[/platform] graphical effects. Mega Man Anniversary Collection shares qualities with Rockman Complete Works, a lineup of remakes of the first six games in the original Mega Man series, released for the PlayStation in Japan in late 1999. The six games were released individually, each disc containing a port of the original Family Computer version as the game's "Original Mode" and several extras. The game, originally announced as Mega Man Mania, was to feature the five original Game Boy Mega Man games, as well as a history section and artwork gallery. The game had its release date pushed back several times, with the delay rumored to be caused by Capcom lacking the games' original source code. In January 2006, gamers contacting Capcom were told that the game had been placed on "indefinite hold".
