@@RockinKatReviews One big difference for me is... I actually like Mega Man 1 more than 2, but not more than 3 or other games. I feel like not enough people point out the more empty level design of 2 with enemies not being well utilized, and how the weapon pool isn't as well rounded as 1's, or, well... The Wily stages somehow being even more obnoxious in 2. ... But probably not as bad for most people the Wily stages as they played the American easy mode, but... i haven't. Though 2 did improve on some things, it's far less glitchy, has passwords, way better presentation, and e-tanks, all of which are great! But i still think MM1 did slightly better than 2 overall. The Wily Wars did improve Mega Man 1 a lot actually, though Mega Man 2 and Mega Man 3 didn't get touched on really, i still wish less people kept dogging on Wily Wars, it's a fine game, with the best version of Mega Man 1. Though i still like the NES version honestly.
@@rapappathepepper3996 I love the fact you mentioned Wily Wars. It really doesn’t get enough recognition. I think the original core 6 robot masters just compliment each other very well and the enemy skills just play off each others weakness perfect. I’m finishing up my thoughts on MM3 this week and def a few of my opinions line up with yours regarding mm2 vs mm3. For me as the series went on the games got more enjoyable for me but I always had a huge soft spot for 1
Nicely done br0! MegaMan 1 is often regarded as the "growing pains" of the series. The formula was good, but the kinks needed to be worked out. Most notably, that little slide after landing a jump drives me absolutely bonkers. I will admit that the one aspect of MegaMan 1 I wish had carried over to the rest of the games was the scoreboard/points counter. I know points are worthless, and as kids we didn't care about it (unless it meant extra lives) but as I get older I find myself keeping tabs on my score in games like Super Mario Bros 3 or other games that don't reward the player. It would be nice to keep tabs on scores from the other MegaMan games. Can't wait for the rest of the series!
Thanks my bro you are 💯 on point with the scoring system. To me I enjoyed having it gave a bit of variation to running a game aswell. You could have a speed or a score based run
@@RockinKatReviews Precisely. Take MegaMan 2 for example, I find I play it the same way each time. I get the Metal Blade first and spam it the rest of the game. Its fun, but i wish I had a scoreboard so I could see myself racking up points during a dominant run. Knowing you're dominating isn't the same as having a points indicator proving you are dominating. I know there's other ways to play 2 like buster only but I much prefer Metal Blade.
@@underwaterlevelz1947 You think first time gamers got the metal blade and were like “ so why doesn’t the mega buster shoot in all directions?” clearly this is the best flipping MegaMan item 😆
@@underwaterlevelz1947 also you really should playthrough some of the OG MegaMan gameboy games there actually very good and some of them are completely original in content especially MMV
Megaman 1 is my personal favorite. Everything from the challenge to the fabulous music. I’m proud to say that I had the opportunity to experience this great game when it first launched and the graphics and gameplay at that time were incredible! Long live this amazing classic game! I have high hopes for a Megaman Legends remake soon! 😊
With Capcom announcing the MVC collection I could def see them putting out a remaster of legends 1,2, and Tron Bonne and follow that up with Legends 3. Especially with the Capcom survey please even give me a MM12 we have been patiently waiting. Also thank you for sharing your experience with 1 because even as a kid I could not track down 1 anywhere it was such a hard game to even find. I would pick up 4-6 as they came out and really loved 6 but 1 was a mystery at that time and not may ppl spoke about it so it was definitely eluding me to find it for many years
Growing up in podunk Michigan, this game was the most elusive as a kid…so hard to find. I imagine we are around the same age. My story of playing 2 and 3 first then finally managing to be able to play the first mirrors yours. I think trying so hard to get this game is probably one of the reasons it remains one of my favorites in the whole series. Looking through the videos you’ve put out, it seems our tastes in games align. Instant subscribe. I’m rooting for you!
Thanks so much 🙏 yes for me it was very much the same… I couldn’t find MM1 anywhere and when I did manage to go back and start picking up the original series of games I picked all up but 1. MegaMan 5 was another that was a bit harder to find aswell and always pricey even when NES collecting started getting popular again in early 2000 I actually purchased my original games in the video from a local flea market we had in the area and went to a few funcolands too. As a kid tho When I finaly picked up the snes I was still going back and playing a lot of the late release nes games like star tropics and MM6 something about that time around 92-94 when the nes and snes were still out was a special time.
"tiny robotic offspring" You should put that phrase on a shirt with a bunch of pictures of all the trillions of things that Mega Man enemies have given birth to over the years.
😂 💀 Sounds like the name of a metal band! It was pretty amazing seeing some of those mid level boss enemies for the very first time like the cats of topman stage using fleas as projectiles
From what I remember possibly an interview with Capcom or Inafune that was the original stylized concept for MegaMan but I believe they went with a different artistic approach maybe due to the nes restrictions so I believe that’s why they ended up giving him chibi look in the psp remake
I'm really enjoying your Classic Mega Man series! Mega Man 5 was the first OG Mega Man game I owned. Mega Man 1 was always this mysterious, nigh impossible game to me and my friends. To beat it, we had to resort to the Game Genie, but eventually, through much repetition, I was able to complete it on my own. With the pause trick, of course. I never actually beat the Yellow Devil the proper way until I was an adult!
Was right there with you on the Yellow Devil Fight.. to this day I’ve only bested him a handful of times without the glitch….Funny tho I could manage to beat Mike Tyson as a kid in punchout but the Yellow Devil forget about it lol
It’s definitely up there for me it has the perfect variety of robot masters and I think the perfect difficulty too not too crazy hard but with practice it’s beatable
I enjoyed this video, but I do have a couple bits of criticism: 1. You really need to increase your audio level. This video is way too quiet! 2. I can appreciate a good preamble, but you don't really talk about the game itself until a whole 7 and a half minutes into the video. I did feel like the actual analysis at that point could have gone into a bit more depth, too.
Thanks so much for the feedback will def take that into account. I actually captured audio for my second video with a much better mic so It sounds much better. The first video was mainly me testing the waters with my editing capabilities and I’m looking more to capture a reflections video more so then an in depth analysis. As much as I would love to dive into a deep review I wanted to focus more so on what it was like experiencing that moment and how I felt playing this for the first time
I feel the game ages very well and the robot masters are almost iconic at this point. Not sure if you ever took a look at the Archie series but they did a great job with the original 6 working alongside MegaMan through the stories. What really like to know your opinion on 7 and 8 sometime
@@RockinKatReviews I’m actually not aware of the Archie series, what is that? Is it a comic? I played 7 a little bit on the game cube collection many many years ago, I thought it was a great game. I tried playing 8 on that same collection and DETESTED it, I tried a few times and didn’t like anything about it.
I ironically beat the "hard" ones (1 and 9) and 2 time and time again, but I suck at the other ones. Like Megaman 4 and 11 kick my butt over and over... i dont know whats wrong with me lol Nice cover of 1
You’re def not alone with the difficulty. I too had trouble with mm11 and even mm9 to some extent. I think the repetition of playing them helps but when you go into a new MM experience blindfolded it will def kick your butt Atleast for me it does. Also thank you for the feedback I just posted my MM2 review and working on MM3 will have part 3 out next week so def like hearing any opinions on the franchise
Personally I think Mega Man 2 is extremely overrated. Personally I think it's one of the worst nes Mega Man games. The first one was WAY better. However the best of the nes ones is Mega Man 4. The best of the classic series is Mega Man Powered Up.
Great job with this bro I still play MM 1 to this day
🙏 it still holds up very well
