| ElRhodeo said: I just looked up the Megaman series on Wikipedia and was shocked to find out that there are like 40 games already... I think I've played some of the NES classics, but that was so long ago. Are the newer series any good? X, Zero, ZX? Gotta say I hate the anime art style, all those new characters look awfully bland. But I'm in the mood to play some old school platforming - maybe I should go play the old ones via Virtual Console and MM9 on Wiiware. |
X was amazing until X5. The series since then began to suck (except for X8 and the RPG game.)
The Zero series is really different, but it's rather fun too, you should give it a try. The ZX series is similar to Mega Man Zero but it's still different in its own right. Plus it has E-Tanks and W-Tanks as secret items, that's awesome. :D
And yes, you should get Mega Man 9 for the WiiWare. It's one of the best Mega Man games I've ever played.
By the way, am I the only one that thought Battle Network and Star Force were actually good games? I mean sure it's really nothing like Mega Man but I thought they were fun. The 3rd Battle Network game got me into Mega Man (although I prefer Classic Mega Man over any series). Battle Network 4 can burn in hell though.
