For everlasting peace! Probably the best-presented collection of classic games I've ever played, reviewed at https://thewellredmage.wordpress.com/2016/09/01/me...
My birthday present. From me to me: All Mega Man and Mega Man X games. I always wanted together in a portable device.
(there's not my birthday yet but that wasn't an excuse).
Mega Man 6: Alternate stage paths and new armors are neat. The addition of power ups other than just boss abilities is swell too. Soundtrack is awesome.
General thoughts on Mega Man classic series: I still like the X series more, but the classic series has been more consistently good and I’m walking away with a better appreciation for it. I gotta give props to Capcom because they were able to come up with new ideas to make each game feel fresh. The charge shot in classic isn’t like the charge shot in X. In X, it feels like the most powerful option, but in classic there are a lot of instances where spamming small shots is better since most normal enemies don’t have I-frames like the bosses do.
Got a gift card for my birthday last month, so I bought every Mega Man thing on PS4 basically - the Mega Man 30th Anniversary Bundle (which includes all MM games through 11 and X through 8? which is all of them?) and the Zero/ZX collection. I only ever beat two of these, 6 for the NES because I owned it, and 3 on a version for Blackberry back in like 2009.
Really excited to finally dive into this series as an adult. I finished the first game last night. It holds up well enough, plenty of challenge, a bit of memorizing patterns, but not pull-my-hair-out difficult. The only bummer was I missed getting the Magnet Beam and couldn't advance through the Wily stage w/o it, so had to game over, re-do Electroman stage, and go through it again.
The character dossiers and the art work are a nice touch.
