9 and 10 are okay, they're just too expensive for what they are and punishingly difficult compared to the others.

And Mega Man Legends 1 and 2 are so utterly stupid that they're fun.

MMV GB is neat since after four games of remixing NES stages they went all original, changed up your default weapon (to a rocket punch), and took Wily out of the final boss seat.

If they are, they're worth it, they definitely were NOT at release, and both try to sell you on a ton of microtransactions.

MM9 has some lovely gotchas, but you have plenty of ways to get around or trivialize threats between a great weaponset and the store.

Both 9 and 10 are designed by the kid of people who rear end in a top hat Mario and it actually kind of owns.

9's soundtrack also owns pretty hard. It's in the top 5 for the series, possibly top 3.

My favorite part of 10 is the Wily castle twist. Sheep Man also brings me a lot of joy as a phrase to say.

Honestly just play as many as you can, outside of the blatant favorites there's a lot of variation on what games people like.

And you should still play the bad ones just to see how bad they are, you know if you're just emulating them anyway.

This was admittedly a large part of the reason I enjoyed playing Bioshock for the first time last month, years after it should have been any good at all.

The big problem with seven is that they stagger the levels, so that you have to beat the first four robot masters before the next four, and the first four are all less fun than the last four. It's a very backloaded game.

Also making Mega Man big instead of going the Mega Man X route makes you have about 3 Mega Mans worth of screen space. X is just better.

There's a password that unlocks all 8 bosses from the start.

You can always play this extremely good fan game if that's a real sticking point. Although it does remove the shop and intro stage from the game.

Is there a cheap way to stream so I can show my face on the side and the game I'm playing, if I'm playing on a console on my TV in the living room? I have a laptop and HDMI. I might start streaming in the middle of the month for just my friends and put a donation button to the CF Foundation instead of doing the CF walk this year.
