As something of a "hardcore" gamer, I'm ashamed to say I've never beaten a classicly styled 2D-platsormer-shooter Mega Man game. I've played a couple of the Battle Network games for the GBA, and got my ass handed to me by Zero 3 back in 2004 or so, but have never seriously tried to play through any of the original series or classically styled entries in the series. I know, my shame is great.
However, after most of the NES games came to the 3DS and I heard that X was coming to the Wii U, I decided now is a good time for me to begin giving the series a real shot.
My question is: Where do I start?
Should I begin with the original, despite its flaws? Mega Man 2, which is widely considered the best in the classic series? 3, which has all the beasic mechanics together for the first time? Or should I wait until Thursday for X?
