Is there a series more overrated than Mega Man? You could take just the best parts of the first six titles combined into one game, and it still wouldn't even be a top 10 NES game.
They're just so fricking derivative and poorly designed. The UI is so fricking slow and clunky and you have to constantly menu through it to cycle through all your weapons to find the one the boss is arbitrarily weak to, or constantly menu to swap between items in order to bypass environmental obstacles, and then you also have to sit there and farm RNG energy drops on trash mobs for minutes on end. It's just such so fricking moronic. The core gimmick of these games is the weakest part of the game, and yet they focus on that over actual competent level or boss design. All of the games just feel like a glorified Simon Says.
>and it still wouldn't even be a top 10 NES game
damn so what's in the 10 then?
Which one of the games filtered you, OP? Be honest.
>LOOK MA, I CAN BE A YOUTUBE REVIEWER TOO
List the top 10 NES games.
Castlevania 1
Castlevania 3
Punch-Out
Ninja Gaiden 1
SMB1
SMB3
Contra
Super Contra
Gradius 2
Battletoads
cope
>Battletoads over Metal Storm, Shatterhand, Ducktales, Darkwing Duck, let alone a majority of the Mega Man games on the system.
Battletoads is genuinely a great game with a huge amount of variety. It's a shame most people never played beyond the turbo tunnel. Battletoads wipes the floor with garbage like Ducktales or Mega Man.
>having to resort to multiples of same franchise
Real top 10:
Castlevania 3
Ninja Gaiden
Punch Out
Zelda 1
Metal Storm
Shatterhand
Guardian Legend
Mario bros 2
Jackal
Mega Man 4
Honorable mention to Kid Icarus, Zelda II and Blaster Master which are super ambitious but flawed/imbalanced
SMB2 USA is legitimately awful, SMB2 JP (Lost Levels) is good.
Guardian Legend is extremely overrated trash.
Highly unpopular opinion but the first 2 mega man games are the most fun (9 is great too though)
After that there's too much gimmicky bs and stupid difficulty, not enough platforming
then do bosses without their weaknesses and don't grind health drops (maybe try not get hit in the first place). Mega Man is pretty much the opposite of a Simon Says design.
