yeah, MM3 has always been my fav, followed by MM9 (not retro but has the same soul), MM2, MM1, and MM6. I never really played the other NES games or MM10 more than a handful of times.

I can sweep MM3 buster only, except for Doc bosses and Gamma (too bad the last boss is so lame).

Interestingly enough, Inafune hates this game.

>2 easiest
Not to me, most of them have around the same difficulty. It's just that people are more used to 2's quirks. They all have their ruthless parts, like 2's Wily 4, 5's protoman stages, 7's final boss, etc, but if you can beat one, you can beat them all. And that "one" is usually 2.
Imagine relearning the quick lasers, hopping on the blocks for the dragon, crash bomb order for the bubble boss, heatman's yoku blocks, Wily machine without etanks. Its trivial for us now, but that doesn't make it any less daunting.

If I was being critical I'd say 6 is the easiest cause of the abundance of etanks and the fact that even casuals can wreck any boss with the buster. MM&B is the only outlier in consistent difficulty.

Top Spin bullets are so fun, even if it's somewhat slower for me to pull off in the instances where it's used.

For anyone that doesn't know, they didn't add a check to stop pausing when Rush-equipped Buster Bullets are on screen. Switching to another weapon causes the Buster Bullets to take on the damage properties of the selected weapon. It also doesn't consume weapon energy.

3 has some more tricky platforming sections assuming your not a complete pleb and abuse how broken tush jet is. Also the doc robots are stupid as fuck as they still use the MM2 patterns but because the doc robots are much bigger it becomes imbalanced.

Actually 2 and 3's difficulty is a good comparison. 3 is more difficult but for all the wrong reasons really. 2 may be easier but it's more enjoyable in my opinion. Of the NES games I feel 4 is the best. Has a fair difficulty and not as buggy as 3. Though really mega man is quite a easy series, difficulty doesn't matter too much here in my opinion as it would for say, castlevania.

1 is different from the others and is an interesting play-through if you have the patience for it.

2 is decent all around but feels unbalanced and unfinished. 3 is the same way but drags on too much with recycled assets mid-game.

4 has good difficulty but the charge shot was not a needed addition to the series in my opinion. 5 and 6 are on the easier side and aren't very memorable.

Overall I don't think they got the design down until 9. All the 8-bit games are good despite their individual shortcomings though.
