X was definitely the best. I really can't decide if I like X2 or X3 better. They both have cool things, and they both have sucky things. Gameplay wise, and just, format wise. Honestly, I think 3 was the most interesting. If a few things were tweaked a little bit, I think it would reign supreme by a long shot, barring nostalgia from the first one. Also, bro, the OG Megaman 2 and 3? C'mon. The slide and power shot changed the game. But, so did the dash, and the wall jump, and yadda yadda. What a ledge. Nice lesson, Prof. Be well.

Love this game! I grew up playing Mega Man. I owned the original on NES as a kid. Ever since then I've been a dedicated Mega Man fan!

Gary and Blaze have a few similarities…almost like they’re related or something.

Yeah, I actually remember Clarissa Explains It All. Loved that show.

I remember borrowing this game from a neighbor years ago. Managed to beat it, but it took me until my later years until I found where the Body Armor and Shoryuken capsules were located.

Fluff is such an adorable cat..... This thanksgiving I'd love to stuff him like a bird ..... And I don't mean for eating

X2 is probably better than the original, EXCEPT for the fact that the random X Hunter Stages kind of mess with a solid boss order. X3 has great ideas, like different bosses depending on how you defeat other bosses. There is no perfect game, BUT the original Mega Man X is just about as close as you can really get, so sequels had an even higher bar than just any other given game.

Just an odd tidbit fact, if you fight Agile in the Maverick stage and he kills you, he returns to the "arms crossed behind him" pose he entered the room in as you explode. As if to say "tough luck, old boy." No other enemy has an animation for when they take you out.

Maverick Hunter X which is a remake of the first X game. With voice overs and an unlockable movie which tells us the backstory of what happened before the Maverick outbreak. Fun fact about the remake Vile is beatable in his mech and it still retains everything in the original but some power ups have been moved. Example: The slide mechanic isn't in Chill Penguin's stage its in Flame Mammoth's stage where you got the arm upgrade

Prof nailing one of my absolute faves from the SNES!

Happy Thanksgiving Professor Brigands. For some reason I never played any of the Mega Man Games. I can't comment on any of these games. Mega Man games kind of reminds me of the Contra Games or even Metroid. Thanks for sharing.

I'd buy a shirt like that

I don't know if your cat found this, The mavrick hunters were supposed to have second forms in their vbase but there was not enough space on the cartrige for it.

Learned about this game a few years ago and it’s classic nes, this is what the console was about once it hit its peak. You won’t get an experience like kick master on some other system.

Posted this game on reddit and people said i should check this out, so thank u.

21:33 I do remember that show. I loved to watch Pinwheel, but I can't ever remember why I thought it was so good.

So it actually IS possible to get the upgrade in Wheel Gator's stage by using the Strike Chain, but it requires pixel-perfect timing. I only pulled it off once.

While I get that the move pool(s) would start to dry up, I really wish that the X series kept the hidden fighting game move as a bonus reward for the games. Would have LOVED to see X interpret/perform a Shun Goku Satsu, for instance. Granted, if memory timeline tracks, I don't think Akuma was a known character outside of Capcom just yet.

Huzzah! it's Professor and the gang, blessing us yet again.

This is another of those games that I owned that I resented, simply because it was really disappointing that Zero wasn't a playable character. We all felt entitled to having Zero as a playable character, and we were bitter about it. Other than that, I don't remember it actually being bad. I always thought he was called Rockman because Dr Light loved rock and roll? And Rush was named after the band Rush. Or maybe a reference not so blatant but still related to music.

Man this brings back those memories again. Love it. Almost as good as the first. Holds a special place in my heart for sure

@ 52:13 I think Blaze meant to say flash man :)

Designer: I have the perfect weapon for the moth: the Silk Shot! Director: Great, so it let's X grapple to the ceiling, or wraps up enemies? Designer: No, it drops an exploding rock.

Rare was nintendo’s best developer, they made Battletoads and Donkey Kong. I’ve heard people say ljn was just a publisher for their games but it says something when Rare made the worst video game ever made in my opinion. This game is just designed bad and plays terribly, It’s nice to see a walkthrough and 101 on this one, no one’s really tackled it.

Pinwheel was Nickelodeon

Oh, I must've done something right... many thanks!!!

Super mega man xxx is my favorite

I just discovered your channel and I'm loving it, professor! Keep up the superlative work

Might have to buy this..🧐. PC = $95

Yay, I’m glad you reposted it. I was really excited when I saw it. Then you took it down and then I saw Goonies 2. But it’s back now and I’m a happy happy boy!!!

one of my favorite iterations of mega man was the Legend series for the original PlayStation, it's just a shame they left it on a cliff hanger.

Can't believe you actually did this game. I loved it as a kid. Was one of my favorite movies so of course I loved the game, even if I could never finish it. Hate to admit that I would take my frustration out on Roger with the wind up punch

James Rolfe (aka The Angry Video Game Nerd) did a bad review of this game and the other games that are released by LJN for the Nintendo Entertainment System.

Comment for algorithm

Shakespeare, eh... if you wanna go obscure, I bet Titus Andronicus might actually be fun... it'd be interesting to see someone make an NES game out of that one and try to observe the old Nintendo rules, you know.

I never beat this one as a kid, but I did beat the other two. At least with this one I have the excuse of there not being unlimited continues!

I have actually beaten this one on TWO different consoles. On the NES and the Atari Lynx. And I agree that this is the most difficult game of the 3 on the NES.

Awesome video, thanks for the lesson Professor.

Class get in your damn seats.

This should be an interesting vote...

I think Ninja Gaiden III was the hardest of the Ninja Gaiden series on the NES. In my opinion, #2 was my favorite of the series. #1 was also pretty fun and started the series on the right track.

Holy monkey!! ow thats fast service..many thanks Professors

how is it possible for you to put out these videos so damn fast? i've been wondering this for months. every few days you got a new video of not just beating a hard ass game.. but an edited video on how to beat it! HOW?!

Also congrats on 5K. But I agree with everyone it should be 100K my man. Especially with how awesome your channel is😊

I just voted. Had to go with one of my favorite games on SNES super Mario RPG. Can't wait for those fluff facts, scary Gary's boss beaters and the item info with blaze. You're staff is gonna be busy with this one

Love your videos

I loved this series. I rolled a thief so I could start with all the skills. I think I beat all but the last game. I know in two I became a paladin.

I really enjoy your channel! Very informative, and the characters are simply adorable. Always look forward to new content 😊
