Mega Man 8? Maybe Mega Man 10 on Easy.
Mega Man 3 is pretty comparable in difficulty, too, at least up until Doc Robot.

Thanks! Are any of the MMX/MMZ games the same difficulty level as MM2 Normal?

The first Mega Man X is pretty easy, all things considered. Mega Man X4 might be even more so.
Mega Man 5 is easier than 2, 4 and 6 kinda are as well. 3 is easy up until a point, but once you reach it, you should be able to overcome it.
Like Shadow Hog said, MMX 1 and 4 are pretty easy.
MMZ... You might want to stay away from those until you play through the others. It's definitely the hardest Mega Man sub-series.

Mega Man 3 is a little harder but it's okay because it's the real, actual best Mega Man.
Mega Man 1-7 and X 1-3 are on eShop (All on Wii U, 1-6 on 3DS. 3DS also has the Game Boy/Color games). X4 is on PSN. The Zero games are going to be on eShop in the future, with the first one already out, but you might want to get the DS collection, as it has all the games in it, and an easy mode.
Thanks a ton! Which of the GBC games are best and easiest? (Also, assuming all of those recommended above are not just easy, but also good!)
My last post was just about availability, but all the games recommended here are good. (Although how good is going to differ from person to person.)
The best GB/C games are Rockman World 4 and 5 (released in English as Mega Man IV/V). Those aren't the easiest of the GB games, but I'm never going to recommend RW2 to anyone unless I hate them. Of the actual GBC ones, I'd say Xtreme 2 is good, although not as much as the former games I talked about. (And sadly, not as original.)

This reminds me that I still have to finish X5 on my PS3. It has been so long that I've played this game and Sigma is kicking my ass hard since I can't actually escape that damned purple square attack of his second form.

So what's the general consensus on Mega Man X5? I decided to go back to it after a replay of my personal favorite, X4, but I just couldn't get into it.
too overproduced for me to want to pay attention

Just a reminder that the X figure Kickstarter has reached $135,947 with around 15 days to go. $64,053 to go.
Also, there's now a reward tier with only the two figures, just an FYI.

So this just hit me:
In Megaman 4-6, Dr. Wily was the 'man behind the man';
In 4, you're led to believe Dr. Cosack is the villain, but turns out to be Wily
In 5, it's Protoman, but of course, its Wily
In 6, it's Mr. X which is just an alias Wily is using
In the latest Megaman issue
For that matter, why are the Robot Masters in Megaman 6 given the DWN serial Number? That's only for Robots Wily created.

Dr. Wily mentions how he'll succeed in his current mission or die trying, that's a neat way to lead it into his behind the scenes thing in the later games

X: Corrupted looks to be nearly complete! New video, too.

Oh, that looks sweet. The last stretch of that portion looks somewhat tricky, though, it seems to assume you can handle the wall-jumping to get around the bumps.
The TruForce MMX figure has reached its funding goal. No, I'm not gonna shut up about this until its over. As a bonus, in the updates, they revealed that the ride chaser design for the print included in one of the tiers is gonna be a companion product later on and that the design will be revealed in mid-March once Capcom signs off on it.
I find it interesting that they refer to Capcom rather than the designer, which implies that there's a bunch of people involved in the design at Capcom. I shouldn't read too much into it, though, getting my hopes up won't be healthy.

I just wonder if we'll even jump in straight to MM4
I'm guessing we're getting at least one Emerald Spears arc, a filler arc, and a prelude before it. Maybe add one of the World games or even Wily Wars somewhere in there.

It took a long time to get to Mega Man 3 from 2 (Vol 3 to Vol 10, over two years of material) between original story arcs, Ra Moon and the Sonic crossover, so I'd say it'll be a while.
I just hope they cover all the games before it's cancelled. That time travel issues got me too hyped.
I can see them skipping or condensing 5 or maybe adapting the GB games with the Stardroids, since 4 through 6 all have the same story of "New guy shows up, turns out it was Wily, ad infinitum."

I really hope this series keeps on going, at least so that they can adapt all the events up til Megaman 10, and then from there they can finish/end the series.

The crossover was my fav. major comic event at the time and it had some really neat stuff like this spread
and a lot of great character interactions and humor, chief among them

I got MMX4 for a buck in the last flash sale and I'm enjoying this more than I really expected. I'm not surprised so many people put it just behind X1 on their rankings of the series. Plus it's got that great old Capcom art from the Saturn/PS1 era. Tempted to make one of them LTTP threads
With how everyone hyped MMX4, I found it a bit disappointing compared to the hype when I finally played it. It does feel like they were starting to create the style of the MMZ games there, though, which I love. Unfortunately, it's not even close to being as refined as in MMZ.

(Don't hotlink Wikia. They started shrinking the images when people do that.)
The cover art's probably one of my favorites for the X games.
Also, after doing a write up on recommending people MMX Command Mission in another forum, I have a real urge to play it again. The game had some problems here and there, but it still was some of the most fun I had with the X games post X4 (not that I didn't have fun with the other X games after). Pretty amazing at the budget and effort they put into such a spinoff.
Wish we got a second game
Edit: For a PS2 Capcom game, I'm still surprised at some of the songs. Still has that old Capcom charm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ks-M2_IVIuI
So, I've been getting curious about the Archie Mega Man comic. I wouldn't mind getting into it, but what is the best way to? I checked their website, and while a lot of the graphic novels are on sale right now, the first one is sold out. Do they restock those graphic novels regularly, or do I need to resort to digital?

So I recently decided to replay Mega Man 9 on WiiWare. I'm at the Willy Castle and just need to carve out an hour to finish it... but from what I played so far. It's sooo good! I honestly enjoyed every single stage, especially the OSTs!
... then I purchased Mega Man 3 to replay that. Holy crap. I DO NOT like that game. There isn't one interesting stage, compared to MM2 and MM9. I was kinda surprised because I know how highly people think of MM3. I just beat the main 8 bosses, but I'm very unimpressed so far. I last played MM3 about 10 years ago, so this is my second time revisiting it. But MM9 is better than MM3 in every way.
Except for the slide move. I love the slide move in MM3. Adds a lot to the game and feels like a fair way to escape damage.

MM3 isn't very good, no.
I can attest to Comixology being fine for digital, but I can't help with physical questions. =/

I understand a large part of the answer of, "Which MM is your favorite/the best" has to do with which one you played first as a kid. I owned MM2 and beat it a dozen times, and never ever played another MM game until I was in college (PS2 Anniversary Collection). So I understand I have rose tinted glasses on why that's the best one.
I have a really hard time understanding why people appreciate MM3 so much. The levels designs are just.... boring. I'm sure I could go into more detail, but they have less "stage gimmicks'. I'm also at a loss for how boring the boss powers are.
Someone tell me: What is the point of Top Spin? I do not understand. There must be something that I am missing.
