The animated scenes in MMX4 were very surprising, since there haven’t been any since Mega Man 8, and they helped flesh out the story more. The last bosses have multiple forms and give you no mercy even if you have the best armor and items. The gameplay is deeper and honestly more challenging, even though I know some Mega Man games are brutal, but playing through the end of MMX4-6 is very tough. You feel an attachment to both, even though Zero keeps on dying. X has a lot of character to him and so does Zero. Mega Man 8 was the best well-rounded of them all in regards to story and character development, but still didn’t meet the standards of X. There wasn’t much of a plot in Mega Man except for Dr.
Just in case you thought this was coming from someone who hasn’t played the games… Anyways, the reason I enjoyed Mega Man X series more than the original Mega Man is the story. I even have some fan-made art purchased at a convention on my wall, and some of the comics as well. Before I state why, let me make it clear that I am a huge Mega Man fan! Not only have I beat all ten Mega Man and eight Mega Man X games, I have also played/beat: Mega Man X Command Mission, Mega Man Anniversary Collection and Mega Man X Collection.
Each has its pros and cons, but I will have to go with Mega Man X. Michael Morejon Mega Man and Mega Man X are both amazing series.
Overall, I would have to say that even though the classic Mega Man may hold more nostalgia for retro gamers, the Mega Man X series tops the original.
Of course, the later games in the Mega Man X series went in a direction that pulled away from what made the series great, but Mega Man X through X6 were great games and even though they may be getting expensive to collect, with X2 and X3 demanding well over $100 each, the games are easily and inexpensively had in compilations like the Mega Man X Collection released for PS2 and GameCube. The new upgrades to your character and the inclusion of a super rad new character to the story, Zero, helped round out this completely new experience and gave Mega Man the shot in the arm it needed to move forward and give us more great gaming experiences. The sprites and environments are bigger, more colorful, and more detailed. Mega Man X improved by leaps and bounds over the NES titles. Capcom had to drop something fresh and new for the Blue Bomber on Nintendo’s new hardware to save the beloved character. It was getting stale like Call of Duty and Assassin’s Creed are today. But as well beloved as the series was, by the end of the NES lifecycle, Capcom had pumped out six titles in the main series and each had generally the same look and core gameplay elements as the last. It’s a tough-as-nails, Nintendo-hard, jump-n-shoot adventure that changed the gaming industry. Jon Hill I love the classic Mega Man series. Which has the better games? Gameplay, bosses, soundtrack, graphics, side characters, and pretty much everything is in play here.
