If you were going to just play one of these games, I’d urge it to be Mega Man 3.
This is when the series peaked, and it’s still my favorite game in the whole series to play. How could you not love that? Mega Man 3 also predates the taint of the Mega Buster, so you’ll still want to use useful Robot Master weapons like the Shadow Blades and Magnet Missiles. And don’t forget Rush! While Mega Man 2 had items that let you fly across and above stages, Mega Man 3 gave you a robotic dog that could transform into a jet or submarine. Wily’s castle, making it a longer experience than Mega Man 2. This was also the first game to add extra levels besides the Robot Master stages and the ones in Dr. As of March 31, 2021, the game series has sold 37 million units. Mega Man, released for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1987, was the first in a series that expanded to over 50 games on multiple systems. Mega Man 3 also introduced Protoman, Mega Man’s mysterious brother who always announced his arrival with an awesome melody. Mega Man, known as Rockman in Japan, is a Japanese science fiction video game franchise created by Capcom, starring a series of robot characters each known by the moniker 'Mega Man'. It also made him move faster, which was great for players looking to beat the game as quickly as possible. Mega Man could now slide, which let him dodge certain enemies and projectiles. However, it also added some great features. Like Mega Man 2, it features great level design, memorable Robot Masters (like Snake Man, Shadow Man, and Magnet Man), and one of the greatest gaming soundtracks of all time.
My favorite Mega Man, and one of my favorite games ever. This is also the first Mega Man game to have a boss re-fight section that let you choose the order, which was much more satisfying than Mega Man’s linear, fragmented rematches. OK, maybe they are a little overpowered, but they are so much fun to use. They are also incredibly powerful, strong against a lot of bosses, and would hit multiple enemies. It also includes the greatest Robot Master weapon ever, the Metal Blades, which you could shoot in eight directions. It’s actually remarkable how many of the series’ best-known Robot Masters come from this game, including Quick Man, Wood Man, Bubble Man, and Metal Man. This is the game that really made Mega Man an NES standard.
You have eight Robot Masters instead of six, platforming and moving is less slippery and more precise, the Robot Master weapons are better and more fun to use, and the soundtrack is one of the most memorable in gaming history. Mega Man 2 took everything about the original and made it better.
