If you hold down Select while picking a mode in Rockman 1-3 in the Complete Works, you'll get a modern, arranged soundtrack. While most of the tracks are picked from The Power Battle/Fighters and the like, some such as the Mega Man 3 Title are unique to these titles #RetroGaming

Fun fact, the complete works MM3 theme is used for the main menu in the legacy collection.

I didn't realize that! Seems like the perfect fit for the Legacy Collection too. This is Mega Man to me.

@FluGA89 In fact, several Complete Works arrangements are in use in Legacy Collection. Game Over from MM3 Stage select from MM3 Stage select from MM2 Continue/menu screen from Mm 2

@FluGA89 That's pretty awesome. All classics too. I'm glad these arrangements got some love in the Legacy Collection!

I thought only 4-6 have complete arranged tracks.

This is true! which is why I think this is hidden behind holding Select. It is mostly the Arcade music and also some stages or jingles are default despite having an Arcade analog. Then you get some weird choices like the Mega Man 7 Opening Stage music for Top Man's stage.

I love that Capcom logo demo. First time I saw it was, I think, on Xmen vs SF. The previous one (the one from SF Zero/Alpha 1) is also one of my favorites

It's so good. When I was trying to decide what to start with it was an easy choice. I really debated leaving the sound in. It always makes me think of Resident Evil 2!

I always wondered if the Power Battles or Complete Works had the music first.

Power Battle and Fighters came out some years beforehand, so it does make sense for them to want to use those tracks for the actual game after putting so much work into arranging them.

You should see how much the Megaman 25th anniversary collection on PS2 goes for on the resale market. It's ridiculous.

they later on went to use this specific track as the title theme to the mmlc1

I hadn't realized that but it's such a great choice.

I just adore this series so much

Same. It's always been one of my favorite series. It's been so much fun playing again.

I always liked this version because it sounds like something out of a Gospel Church and I LOVE IT LMAO
