Rockman Complete Works (1) on the PSN, Update by Dr. Cossack

In a surprising move, it was announced today that the Rockman Complete Works version of Mega Man 1 will be hitting the Playstation Network in North America tomorrow. Set at 5.99$, this is the improved port of Mega Man 1 that was released in Japan a decade ago on the Playstation One. The game will most likely be untranslated from it's original Japanese, but this should be no big deal for a platformer.

It has been my firm opinion over the past several years that the Rockman Complete Works versions of the six first games are the definite ones to own, thanks to their extra features and minor tweaks (saves!) that improve the overall experience without losing anything. If the five other games also make it, we're in for a treat.

I've purchased the game tonight, both to test it and as a way to say "thank you, please send more" to Capcom.

This is exactly as I expected: a direct port of the Japanese PSone disc, with no modifications whatsoever. This means that the entire text is in Japanese. The only difficulty comes from navigating the menus and figuring out how to load and save a game. Once you get past those hurdles, you're facing the best version of Mega Man 1 ever released!

Completely the same, and in Japanese? That's pretty wild. Come to think of it, I didn't know you had a PS3 Doc!

It happens that I've got one last summer. :) I don't speak very often about it since I mostly got that PS3 as a Blu-Ray and media player, and not for it's library of games. Still, once in a while I use it for a bit of gaming!
