I hate the MegaMan formula. Playing through long stages on your first go only to find out you picked the wrong one and being forced to restart the game to go try a different one and hope the boss is weak to the first weapon is dumb. I hate it actually. There's no pattern to finding out who is the best order. It's all pure luck based on your first playthrough.

I wish it weren't because the games are only fun and enjoyable when you pull up a guide to see what level order you're supposed to do

guides are needed for most retro games. Pretty sure all the moon logic and bullshit is there just to sell magazines back then but yeah megaman goes from shit to the best nes franchise If going the intended order

I've always thought the bosses are trivialized by using the weapons, and that it's more fun to go in without knowing who's weak to what. To me the benefits of the 8-stage structure come more from finding different uses for each weapon. Like how in the NES games different enemies could be handled easier by using specific weapons.

And? Is that against the rules backseat mod?
