That was a great read. I remember having a tough time with Mega Man 2 when I was a kid. But I eventually beat it about a year after I got it! Also, does it make me a horrible person to admit that I really enjoyed MM 3? Sure not as awesome as 2, but it was the first video game that I remember advertised on T.V. (and the commercial was pretty cool for its time) so maybe I was just caught up in the hype of a new Mega Man game.
Not at all. I think Mega Man 3 still has some of the spark of Mega Man 2, and it's a fantastic game in its own right. In fact, any of the Mega Man games on the NES are, at worst, a decent, extremely competent platformer - I'm just not terribly fond of 4 through 6; I always think when I'm playing them "I could be playing one of the first three instead."
I think the only Mega Man games you can be considered horrible for liking are some of those later Mega Man X games. Ye gods.
Ahhh ok, that makes me feel a lot better. I guess years of internet snobs bashing part 3 really got to me. And, yeah, anything after 3 was pretty boring to me as well.

You've inspired me to play all the way through Mega Man 2 tonight.
I love that ending. Rarely do you see so much done with so little.
