@ I concur. Best channel out there for these retro games.

[@horatio_lionheart]

i remember when this game was featured in Video and Arcade Top 10. (an old series that was aired in Canada back in the 90's. 4 kids would play a video game in question, but they'd also be playing for a viewer at home. if memory serves me properly, the winner of the "competition" in question, was whoever got the furthest in the game (or got the most points if that wasn't an option) and not only would that kid get a copy of the game, the viewer they were playing for would get one as well. my name was drawn for this game, and the kid playing on my behalf won, thus i got a free copy as well.

Keeping the twist hidden during the ""I will show you how to do x, get past y and beat the bosses, EVEN the evil z" part of the intro? 10/10

[@johnbakasmoothhotchocolate]

When I fought Dive Man, I usually just look at his mouth as weird as it sounds. When he opens it, it indicates he's going to shoot missiles at you. When it's closed, that's when he's going to charge at you. That's just my trick, but still an easy fight nonetheless. I can't wait til he gets to Mega Man V one day, which ALL the robot masters are pushovers.

[@robertlevy4613]

Agreed, the series definitely got easier as it went between 1-5

[@johnbakasmoothhotchocolate]

@@robertlevy4613 It did. Mega Man VI tried to spice it up with the different path thing to get the Beat power up. But once you figure out what to do, it too is easy. I think the one that gave me some trouble might have been Mega Man 9 at first.

[@JazGalaxy]

@@johnbakasmoothhotchocolate the problem I had with Megaman 8 and 9 is that they are blisteringly hard by way of putting spikes everywhere. One-hit instant kills. 3/4 of the Megaman gameplay never mattered because your whole run could be stopped in an instant just but touching a spike. The earlier games were never like that and it felt cheap.

[@johnbakasmoothhotchocolate]

@@JazGalaxy Don't forget the ever annoying "Jump, Jump" and "Slide, Slide" levels. Those were a damn pain to get through. Even worse when you get to Wily's castle.

@@schwarzerritter5724 Mega Man 1 is very nostalgic for me because it is the first video game I ever remember playing. I have a distinct memory of being 3 or 4 years old, popping mega man into the NES and getting my ass kicked in the Cutman stage. For a while I thought it was Mega Man 3, but when I played Mega Man 1 as an adult and jumped into Cutman, I immediately knew. Took me 25 years to beat Mega Man.

[@travezripley]

What if I told you; this game came out just as I was going into Highschool and was forced to put Video Games on the back burner… Growing up was the worst decision. I should have played with video games instead of with my feelings. Thanks for helping us reverse the clock! The #megaman #rockman franchise always brings me back to the salad days. The charging of the Megabuster changed everything. As a grownup who works with robotics, AI and Neural Networks… I hope to become a Dr. Light….

[@rockk9753]

If you make a mega buster make them available for humans too not just robots also dash boots

[@johnrustic]

I always felt like this was the hardest Mega Man game, followed by Mega Man, Mega Man 6, Mega Man 5, Mega Man 3 and finally Mega Man 2. 2 is my favorite but probably because I suck at this one. Thanks for this guide, I know this will be much easier for me now and less frustrating.

[@meekd53]

I always thought this to be one of the easiest..I agree mega man and mega man 2 are quite difficult and probably most challenging of all series

[@Animebryan2]

The first Mega Man is unquestionably the most difficult of the classic series, simply because it was the 1st entry of the series and there wasn't an established way of doing things. However, if you include ALL the games from the classic series, then Mega Man & Bass would be the hardest.

[@mk2mister2]

@@meekd53 Funny you mentioned that. I thought Mega Man 2 was the easiest of them all. The first Mega Man is one of the tougher ones for sure. But after watching many longplays of Mega Man 4 is that it is really tough if you don't use the other weapons and just stick to using the mega buster through most of the game. Mega Man 2 and 3 can be beat much more easily by using the mega buster throughout the stages (except for the bosses of course). I hope I makes sense.

[@CeeJayThe13th]

Y'all need to get some Mega Man 9 and 10 in your lives lol. I would put 8 as the hardest for me. If you're just counting the 6 on NES though then I see what everybody is saying. It also depends on how much you play these games for which becomes the most difficult. If you are coming in cold, on a first play through, I think MM1 is the hardest but if you're already warmed up, it's almost trivial.

[@mk2mister2]

@@CeeJayThe13th Totally agree. Mega Man 9 and 10 were very hard for me. But I think we (including myself) were comparing Mega Man 4 to the first 6 NES installments. I never played Mega Man 8 but from what I've seen on KZbin, I'll take your word for it. Lol.

[@skeeterd5150]

@@skeeterd5150 you're right. I just never bothered using sub weapons on stages because it was just easier that way.

Actually, in the North American release of MegaMan III on the Game Boy, "Flip-Top" is actually called "Eddie" in the Staff Roll. And that was BEFORE Mega Man 7. Also, only MM1 and 2 took place in 200X. 3 onward were 20XX.

[@youkai3785]

Some other trivia, Cossack Citadel Part 3 is the ONLY stage of the NES Mega Man games that is Auto-Scrolling. Wily's Castle 3 in Mega Man 1, doesn't count because it's the currant of the water, and the Mecha-Dragon fight of Mega Man 2 doesn't count because it's just the boss fight.

[@tylermills79]

Awesome, first a link to the past and now the continuation of the mega man series my all time favorites from my personal golden era of gaming. This channel is awesome. Just two more mega mans and Castlevania’s to go to complete the circle lol. I don’t even watch tv anymore I fall asleep to this channel playing through all its videos every night on my tv. My nes collection includes about 500 games most bought when I was younger and the system was out and throughout the years. I had all the nes mega mans 1-6 bought when they released (I was a older kid with a job in the late 80’s so I’d buy a handful of games every couple weeks and built a massive collection). Unfortunately after I retired from the military a few years ago mega man 1 and 5 went missing in the move back home and now they are ridiculously expensive which is asinine these aren’t rare by any stretch of the imagination just people artificially inflating price. Sorry I’m not paying rare game prices for games that literally were million plus print runs and are everywhere. I’m pretty sure movers jacked them to sell on eBay it sucks I like playing on the original system and they were some of my most prized games.

[@comfortabledoug85]

I've legitimately played and beaten this game well over 50 times and I never knew about the E tank on the first level of Dr. Cossack's Castle. I just recently subbed to your channel and love your non-pretentious, calm approach to explaining how to play and beat these games. Thank you for the service you are providing to the retro gaming community!

[@rcblazer]

The intros where you talk about the history of the game is really informative! Mega Man 4 is also the first of the "It was Wily all along!" Trilogy as I call it on the NES, since you have to go after a fake villain before Wily in Mega Man 5 and 6 too.

[@Blayne06]

First time I ever played this game was as part of the Anniversary Collection for PS2. Aside from the 6 NES games, it had 7, 8, and brought in two Arcade-exclusive titles -- Power Battle and Power Fighters, which were both basically Boss Games. The first 6 NES/Famicom games had a compilation rerelease in Japan as "Rockman Complete Works", which had a lot of music tracks remixed for the games. There was a bonus feature for the game which used the sadly-failed Pocketstation to enhance Megaman's stats. Ever imagine you'd two-shot a Robot Master with Charged Shots? It's hilarious~

[@Jakneute]

I remember being disappointed that the remixed music wasn't in the Gamecube version for some reason. I traded it in for the PS2 version.

[@Loader2K1]

@Blayne06: I have a copy of this on the PlayStation 2 as well. As great as it was, I'm angered that we got screwed out of a LOT of the extras from the Japanese PlayStation re-releases of _Rockman 1_ thru _6_ .

I think they're very good additions to the series and are interesting since they were added so late.

In Wily Stage 2, the boss Tako Trash (I think you referred to him as something else in the video) can be beaten really quickly.
