1st of let me start this by saying that MMX is probably one of my favorite video game series ever, and thats never gonna change. That being said, it's been a while since I ventured back in the series and replayed them, the collection is good, you get a taste of what gaming was like before the PS3 and Xbox 360. The games play almost identically to the originals, the only differences being in Mega Man X3, which plays like the Saturn 32-bit version, with cinemas and all, if you haven't checked them out, might be something to look @ for the time being, but I don't know if it's a good enough game for a buy, if you want 2 check it out, rent it, any well seasoned side scroller vet will beat the collection in a weekend (like I did, while going to work). But it's fun to reminense the good times.
