<small>SUNNYVALE, Calif -- December 23, 2003 -- Capcom® today takes players on a retrospective journey through the evolution of their renowned blue action hero with the announcement of the Mega Man Anniversary Collection for the PlayStation® 2 computer entertainment system and the Nintendo GameCube(tm) and Mega Man Mania for the Game Boy® Advance.

The Mega Man Anniversary Collection is an anthology of classic Mega Man games (Mega Man 1 through Mega Man 8) from the Nintendo Entertainment System, Super Nintendo Entertainment System, PlayStation game console and arcade systems. This set will also include two never-before-released-in-the-US Mega Man arcade games: Mega Man the Power Battle and Mega Man 2 the Power Fighters.

Mega Man Anniversary Collection and Mega Man Mania are scheduled to be released throughout North American in spring 2004. The ESRB (Entertainment Software Rating Board) rating is pending.

"Mega Man Mania and the Mega Man Anniversary Collection pays tribute to the brainchild behind this multimillion unit selling franchise, Keiji Inafune, and the original games that he created," said Todd Thorson, director of marketing, Capcom Entertainment. "It gives gamers, who have not experienced the Mega Man phenomenon, an opportunity to play the titles that redefined the platform genre."
