I didn't like 'em anyway. To me, the Megaman franchise was getting kinda old, and the X series didn't change anything.

I mean, it changed up the story... but the story wasn't the problem with the Megaman franchise because the story wasn't what the Megaman games were about.

It would of been like if they made 6 Mario Platformers on the NES, then made another mario platformer on the snes EXACTLY the same... but instead of saving princess peach he had to save Princess tagnerine in cauliflower kingdom.

7 was just awesome because it was more of a "fanservice" type game, with flashbacks of old megaman lore.


Actually, the X series did try to change it up a bit, such as the numerous upgrades (Helmet, armour, better X buster, slide), and you had to fill up the energy tanks as opposed to just collecting them. Also, the graphics are better in the X series as opposed to 7.

I didn't mean all of the X series; the first two are personally my favorites, and for me, they are way better than 7.

Yeah, they didn't change much in the story, but at least they tried to change it. With 7, there was Wily and Protoman again. With the X series, Sigma and Zero, and Dr. Light is dead.


Yeah, but those were all very minor changes in my opinion. Collecting the armor awasn't that big of a deal honestly. Honestly I think i'd gotten sick of the Megaman gameplay after 4, and just kept on playing 5 and 6 because of the familiar megaman lore that i had enjoyed watching the cartoon. The first one with the "Super Fighting Robot" Themesong. Once I got to X, They changed that part, so when i played it... there really wasn't anything keeping me playing gameplay that had already gone stale. Then I picked up 7 later on in the SNES life, not sure when it released, but i got it around the time Megaman X4 or something was released... and it let me relive some of my fonder memories of the NES games. Even still today when i feel like playing a Megman I just fire up 1, 2 3 or 4. I don't even bother with 5 or 6. I don't own 7 though. Not sure i'd play it if I did. 7 was just a rental for me.
