Mega Man Games: Ranked Worst to Best
This December marks the 25th anniversary for Capcom's beloved Blue Bomber, Mega Man. Through countless iterations and re-imaginings, this little robot hero has stood tall next to industry icons such as Mario, Link and Sonic the Hedgehog. At their core, the Mega Man games offer challenges based on pattern recognition and razor-sharp reflexes. Not to mention, the Mega Man games are home to some of the most energetic and catchy pieces of game music ever composed. In honor of my personal gaming hero (some of my first memories are playing Mega Man games on my Nintendo Entertainment System), I've decided to rank his games from worst to best, according to my own personal feelings. For the sake of size, I'll only be covering the 10 numbered games in the regular Mega Man series (excluding the Game Boy Advance's Mega Man & Bass) and not the countless spin-offs (a number of which are quite good) or else this would be an amazingly unwieldy list. NOTE: If you care about SPOILERS, this article could very well be rife with them. Also, all years are based on the North American release dates.
