For people who played both, is Mega Man or Metroid (NES) harder?
Metroid is just plain frustrating, all the levels look really similar and there's no map!
Metroid isn't hard. It's just easy to get lost and confused about where you're going if you don't pay attention. If you make a map or use a map from the internet, it becomes easy.

Mega Man 2 isn't that hard. In fact, Mega Man is much harder. Mega Man 3 is harder as well. I do consider Mega Man 2 as the best in the series though, followed by Mega Man 3. I've also been able to beat Mega Man 2 using only the regular weapon (we always called it the "p-shooter" because in the menu it is under the letter P), except where you had to use another weapon to advance.
I do enjoy the challenge of the early Mega Man games. It makes me sad to see all the crap that the Mega Man X series turned into. I almost cried playing things like Mega Man X4, what a devolution.
Hey! MegaMan X isn't that bad! Never played X4, but the original MegaMan X was great!
If you haven't played X4 then don't talk about it.
Even today I regard Megaman X as probably the best game in the entire Megaman franchise. The later X games were noticeably less interesting. Also, MMX has the best OST in the entire franchise:
