Which Mega Man was the Best?

Post Reply New Topic

I'd have to go with 5 and 6, then 2. 2 for nostalgia reasons. I actually just played 5 and 6 for the first time thanks to the recent Megaman Anniversary Collection. I was surprised that they really were different from the earlier ones, not just the yearly update that they were kind of painted as back in the day.

8 was good too. I'd like a real sequel at some point. Throw the full power of the PS3 behind a completely 2D Mega Man 9 I'd love that for a sequel to Symphony of the Night as well :drool:

Hehehehe Mega Man V. The Game Boy version. It had all the robots based off the planets. Back when I first played this (I was in the second grade), I was inspired to actually read solar system books in the library. It even paid off when I had to do a solar system project >8D

Who says games rot the brain? Not mine!

I never got to play that one. Would have liked to.

There was supposed to be a MegaMan collection of the Gameboy games for the GBA, but it never came out. It's release date just kept slipping.

I stopped keeping up with video games about the time that the Nintendo 64 came out. It was about 10 years ago, and I was focusing on my studies, and I got my first girlfriend about that time as well.

The only thing I don't like about Mega Man 2 is that if you are using the JNes emulator to play it, and you choose to have unlimited supplies of each weapon (it's a cheat). If you use the Flash Stopper, which you normally acquire by defeating Flash Man, it goes on forever, and you can't switch weapons again.

Usually, after I defeat Flash Man, I choose Quick Man as my second opponent, and I use the flash stopper to freeze the laser beams in the middle of the Quick Man round.

From the classic Mega Man, I love Mega Man 4 (NES) and 8 (PS1). MM4 was the first Mega Man game I played and MM8 was cool.

From the Mega Man X games, my favorite is Mega Man X4, that game gives you some clues about Zero's past.

Hmmm, megaman...

I enjoyed Megaman Zero 2, and it had great music to boot. But the Zero series is a lot tougher, at least in my opinion...

Megaman: The Power Battle, the old arcade game. Great fun. My brother and I played it for hours upon end.

Yeah, those were WAAAAAAAY too hard for me.

The original megamans were the greatest, once the X series came off of the SNES it went downhill from there.

I enjoyed 2 or 3. I could NEVER beat Megaman 4, so hard. Megaman 5 and 6 were way too easy. Megaman 1 was hard but I found the trick to beating it (pause select to double damage on the last 2 bosses)

I've beaten every megaman on NES and SNES except megaman 4 (curse you megaman4)

2 is my favorite, with 3 right behind.

Ahh megaman. Great games. Megaman X for the SNES was the 1st video game I ever played, thus beginning my lifelong Asperger's-style obsession with playing video games.

I still maintain MMX as the best megaman game, but I also like the Battle Network series for the GBA.

I'm afraid I've never played the original series megaman games. Perhaps I should try.

4 was pretty hard in general.


with saying the x series is where it went down...i thought that too until i played them again recently....they're actually really solid megaman games. and they feel like megaman games.

You can pick up the entire series at once. Megaman Anniversary Collection was published on the Playstation 2, Gamecube, and X-Box, and contains all 8 games. I have to say they're actually better than I remembered them when I played through them again a year or two back, and I like them better than the Megaman X series (although that's just personal preference).

sucks the megaman x collection didn't see an x-box release.

Megaman 2 for NES is the best straight up Megaman game you can find. Megaman X and X4 always did it for me in the X series.
