Some people collect coins. Others collect... whatever they collect. I have always collected video game images. Which is nuts, since I have dialup, but it is a passion of sorts; digging around in the deepest reaches of the internet for a higher quality or larger version of an image, or on the rare occasion something new. And Megaman images are among the main ones I collect.
It used to be, for like years and years, that MMLS here had more and higher quality MML images then anywhere else on the net. Years and years and years this was pretty much the standard. Buuuut.... MMN has recently updated it's images and has pretty much surpassed MMLS. More images, and all of them are pretty much larger and better quality then MMLS's versions.
MMN is well, hardly the best in regards to quality images. It is no PMM, that is for sure. Color, hue, blah blah tends to be way off; they make no attempt to match it to the originals. Just scan it big and plop it on there and that's that. And the MMN varients have alot of noise and things that possibly could be avoided.
I don't know if anyone cares, but I would like MMLS to regain having the highest quality and most MML images around. Though the size is tempting, often MMN's images are hued and color balanced wrong and through off it's images. With a good eye, and good source material, I am sure MMLS can boast of the best MML collection on the net once again. It specializes in MML, it should have that title. But I have no idea how to go about getting the source material. Has an artbook been released? Digital archives released? I am willing to assist, but I don't know how to get started...

EDIT: Here is a sample of what I mean about MMN's image quality. Doesn't this just look a little... off?

Looks like too much red and too high contrast, but I'm not sure.
