Mega Man: 5 Reasons The X Series Is Better (And 5 Why It's The Original)

Most of the Mega Man games are incredibly popular with fans and while some prefer the original series, others prefer Mega Man X.

I still prefer the Mega Man X series over the classic Mega Man series

X was the best. Although I did love megaman and bass, and the legends games that were based on the original megaman games.

The X series was good...the original got stale after 4.

10 and 11 were good throw backs though.

I just like the x series more for no reason, maybe it's something related to my childhood.

[Teflon02]

X gives more freedom to the player and isn't as strict. So generally it will just be more fun to play. I like em all but X is my fav series for sure

[RPGer]

MegaMan is different from X, like how different is Dark Soul to Other Action RPG. The OG MM is limited and X give you power and really fast and powerful moves.

I immediately hate every article that is named with this format.
They are spineless cowards.

I seriously don’t like how Mega Man 9 & 10 look like NES games. Mega Man 8 along with Mega Man & Bass had the most visually pleasing aesthetics in the series at that point and it was jarring to go back to that retro look. Even if they wanted to for MM9 for the sake of nostalgia, MM10 should’ve been on par with MM8 to differentiate itself from 9

Personally I cant get into the side scrolling MegaMan games. For me however the best Megaman game is the Battle Network series

[Araragifeels]

MegaMan X is better than MegaMan but MegaMan Zero is the best.

I prefer them both I never had a NES as a kid so I get to enjoy the older MM games I even bought the collection on PS4. Having a SNES, a Saturn and a PS1 I got to enjoy the X games I stopped playing the MMX games after 5 because 6 and 7 well they're titles you want to forget. Only port of classic MM I did not enjoy was the Wily Wars on Genesis The classic games look great in 16 bit and the music was great but it had terrible slow down.
