I've played 1-7 and MM&B. They're all good games.

I'd personally rank them like this:

Must play:

Should play:

If you still want more:
1,6

I get it, you like Mega Man:
7, MM+B

I really want to play 9 and 10, but I've been playing them in order (except Mega Man and Bass) and I want to find a copy of 8 for the Saturn and play it that way and I have yet to commit the money to buying a copy.

Just emulate it in Mednafen or if you want to play it on a Saturn, get a pseudosaturn cart and burn the game on a CD.

I own the Saturn version but the disc is pretty scratched, cutscenes skip and whatnot. I'm hoping to sell it soon after I get it resurfaced.

Every Mega Man game has at least one "big problem" that you have to overlook to consider it your favorite.

It's a meme that 2 is good. 2 was the first one that became popular, so everyone assumes it's supposed to be amazing and upvotes everyone that says it's their favorite game of all time. Try 1 or maybe 3 if you want the consistent classic experience without charge shot or 5 or 6 if you want a chill and fun experience, or 4 if you want a mix in between. 7 and 8 are also great, especially 7, but they play a little differently because they aren't 8-bit.

I find 4, 5 and 6 a chore to play, mainly because of the charge shot and mostly forgettable music, maybe 6 to a lesser extent. I'm amazed I beat all of the robot masters and some other bosses buster-only. I could never get the same hang of the charge shot I did with the X games.

Not really. it just makes them have to be more special either through allowing improved movement, different weapon trajectory, increased power, defensive properties or other ideas. 4's charge shot isn't the best weapon in that game. Pharaoh Shot is. Including 4's Charge shot in MM1-3 wouldn't break those games.

I agree with the charge shot in any game but 4. When it comes to four the charge shot does 3 damage and three lemons do three damage. The only advantage of the charge shots comes from bosses who have invincibility frames. Four did the charge shot the best but every other game ruins it

Top tier : 1,2,4
High tier 3,5,6
The best megaman game on the NES is 1.
It is similar to an arcade platformer what with points, the boss refights are different from the rest of the series ( exactly like X1 you face some bosses outside of capsule rooms)
OST is extremely underrated, wily 1 theme is as good as wily 1 from megaman 2.

Difficulty is the best of the series, only real men can get past Yellow Devil, your grandmother would only have a hard time in 2 with the wily boss that can only be damaged with crash weapon.

2 is a classic but even hard mode is easy.
4 is pretty much the formula perfected and the apex.
3 I think it has the coolest robomaster cast but I did not like having to revisit stages but this is just me I think they did a lot of good with the game.

5 and 6 are good but they just do not make me go WOW what a fun game like 9 and 10 did so it is not because 5 and 6 came back after the first 4 it is just that I feel they are less good.

If we include 9 and 10 I would put them right behind megaman 1, they are perfect games
