So I've been looking for Mega Man X Collection for quite a while, and finally found and bought the PS2 version on GameStop. I was going to get the GameCube version initially, but the PS2 controller is infinitely superior for those kind of games (featuring a much better dpad and digital triggers), plus the GameCube version is much more expensive ($50 is the cheapest I can find it online).
Anyway, I had never played the PS2 phat I got this summer until I bought this game. Much to my dismay, while GameCube games always looked pretty decent on my 37 inch HD, PS2 games, or at least THIS PS2 game, just looks abysmal. It's blurry as heck, the colors are dark and washed out, and the sound quality on the first two games in particular sounds very poor.
So here's my question: Is the GameCube version any better, or was this just a piss-poor port all around, regardless of the version? I understand that the GameCube is capable of a higher resolution, but I have no idea if the GameCube version of Mega Man X Collection takes advantage of that. Also, what about the sound quality? Is that any better?
Any answers are appreciated. I really don't WANT to cough up $50+ for the GameCube version of Mega Man X Collection (and some more for a GCN/SNES controller adapter), but if doing so will get me noticeably higher quality ports of the Mega Man X games, I'll very willingly do it.
