/vr/ - Retro Games

Funny, I never had a NES as a kid so I decided to start Mega Man in July last year.

Started with Mega Man 1 and went in order to Mega Man 10. When I began I didn't realise how frustratingly (but entertainingly) difficult Mega Man games were.
Now I'm a big fan, and about to play X1-6 now that I'm back from holiday.

I would recommend playing the de-makes of MM7 and MM8. Having the art style change out of no where was too jarring, and they are great de-makes anyway. They are also more difficult and more in-line with the rest of the classic series than the original MM7 and MM8 anyway.
Duo not getting his own boss fight in de-made MM8 sucks however. Patiently waiting for MegaMan and Bass demake.

Personally I felt MM1, MM3, MM7, MM9 and MM10 are the best ones. I also enjoyed Mega Man Unlimited which is a fan game that bridges the gap between Classic Mega Man and Mega Man X.

I would also pick up the Mega Man and Sonic crossover graphic novel from Archie. It's pretty good especially when Eggman and Wily are bro-ing it up.
