Mega Man will be making his grand return in 2027 with Mega Man: Dual Override, a 2D side-scroller that harkens back to the blue bomber’s origins while carving a new path forward.
Someone who hasn’t played any Mega Man game (except one a long time ago which felt very difficult), any suggestions on where to start? And also tips for a beginner.
MEGA Man 2 is the go to and read strategy guides for the boss order.
The games are hard and unfair, but mastering them is where the fun is.
Also Make sure you have the option for a turbo button.
I am afraid to play such an older (and harder) game, but I’ll look up some details about it and see if I should do that or something else first.
If you’ve never played, start with 11. If you fall in love theres a lot to go into. I love 3 because it introduces the slide that is missing on 2. But it’s also the first one I played. 11 captures the feeling of the original series well, while being modern and polished
That can be a good option, I recall playing a bit of it, but it has been too long, so can give this a try, and it’s a pretty modern game, so if I don’t even enjoy (or finish) that, no point in going back and playing harder games.
The 8bit games were known for being difficult and sometimes frustrating. The Legacy Collection on Switch has a rewind feature to help with the hard parts.
My favourite Mega Man ever is the first Mega Man X, originally for the Super Nintendo. It built up on everything that came in the 8bit era and is easier to handle/more forgiving. I’d recommend that one as a start, I love it and still play it every now and then. The first stage is a master piece in design, teaching you how to play as you go.
So, Mega Man Legacy Collection an Mega Man X Legacy Collection both are on sale right now, which one should I get? Mega Man 11 is also on sale so can get that too.
