How did you get into Mega Man and what game did you start?

[BiscuitSlash]

For me it started with seeing Megaman 9 on the new releases on the wii shop thingy. Then, months later (don't know how many) I decided to get the game for some reason. Started with concreteman and it was hell hard! (No really, I fell into a pit on my 1st few tries) but for some reason it seemed to be enjoyable. Such a hard game at 1st, but now it's about my level.

Later on in that year, I was given a free NES game worth 500 wii points. Since I already had Super Mario Bros. I thought of what else to get and decided to get MM2. Great game to play. From then on, I somehow became addicted to an awesome series that I was missing out on for many years.

Somewhere in october/november I finally got MM10, and that's my favorite game at the moment of the MM series. (I wish I could get anniversary collection)

I remember people kept making Youtube poops of the cartoon. I knew Mega Man was a game franchise, but I never bothered looking it up until i saw them, my logic being "If a game franchise had a terrible cartoon, it MUST be great!"

So I looked up a wiki on the wiki index, found the knowledge base, and spent a few minutes looking. Then I bought the anniversary collection.

My first Mega Man game was Mega Man x6. I never defeated shield shelldon or ground scaravich <.< it was when i was 4.

The second one was Mega Man X. When i played it, i recognized it instantly by the 8 Mavericks, and then i started searching The Mega Man game i played when i was 4. Discovered it in youtube by all the megaman mavericks rush video when i was 8.

Then i played megaman 2, megaman 3...megaman 6, megaman 7, megaman and bass, megaman 8, X2...X6, then MMX8, and mm9, after i played mmx7 and finally megaman 10 (my prefered one).

Little ago i played Mega Man zero collecion in my Dsi xl with mmzx and mmzxa.

I got into Mega Man by hearing about it. I got an emulator, started on Mega Man 1, and loved every minuite of it. However, the FIRST Mega Man game I've ever played is Mega Man Soccer. I kind of forgot about it when my brother moved out, taking the SNES with him (jerk).

MM1, Obiously! I got a dvd reader from my parents, and also got a dvd disk with it, on the disk,theres was a lot of NES games, including MM1!

Mega Man 1 because I thought I might as well start where it started. Bad idea, I chose Ice Man first T.T
My sister had Z4 oh the GBA and she played it ALL THE TIME so I decided I should try and get into it to.
This is also the reason I have no social life, friends, or anything really....

Edit: When I was like, 4 I had an NES an like, 20 games. One of them might have been mega man so I DUNNO!

My first game was actually Mega Man X for the SNES, but I never really got into Mega Man until about 2010. I don't know how, I just did.

[Laggy Blazko]

Mega Man X3, but my first game from the original series was MM8.

Mine was this arcade game, I think called Mega Man: The Power battle or something. My local YMCA bought this arcade system that basically had no quarter slot but instead you just pushed the start button and you got one credit. It had a ton of other games as well, such as Ghost and Ghouls and Bubble Bop. I just remember a lot of people online talking about Mega Man before, so I thought why not try this one. Well a friend of mine told me it was two players, so we ran through it together. I picked Mega Man and he went with Proto Man. It was fairly short, as it only featured the robot masters and Wily, no actual stages. I decided I wanted to try it more, so I got on my Wii and saw "Mega Man 9" for sale, and bought it. That basically set me for the series. I checked online for which other ones people recommended, and it seemed like people were split between MM2 and MM3 so I just got both of them. That's basically it.

Every last game in the series is good, and that's part of the reason I love it.

...Well, not MM2.

First Megaman game I played is the arcade version, Mega Man 2: Power Fighters. Played it on the MAME Emulator as a Kid.

[Mrguy891]

3 years ago I played the first on an emulator....it was a sprite hack that was the infamous mega girl. Half a year later I learned it was Mega MAN and played megaman 2 and megaman 3 with abused save states. Then I played 4, 5 , 6 and couldn't beat any stages WITH save states. Then I tried the megaman games in 2009 again i abused saved states again, but soon I maned up and played with out them and beat them. Now to me, megaman 1-6 are not as NES HARDCORE hard as I used to think. I also played Megaman power battlefightersblahblahblah in a dentist clinic in 09 and I was owned by this little kid.....CURSE YOU RANDOM LIL KID!

Megaman is up there with Mario and Zelda for me.

You know I knew about Mega Man when I was younger, but I never got really into it until like 2 to 3 years ago. The first instance I remembered Mega Man was when I went to a Youth Center during the summer during my elementary school years. They had a SNES and games which included Donkey Kong Country, Zombies Ate My Neighbors, and then finally Mega Man X. I never got myself to playing that game and just simply watched the others play it even as far as fighting Vile the second time. It was different than all the games I owned for my N64 and I thought it would probably be way to hard for me try. Afterwards, I went to some convention like shopping place and saw a used copy of Mega Man Legends for the N64 and asked my dad that I wanted that game making it my first and only Mega Man game I owned for a long time. However, I was never any good at that game and didn't get into it as much as I have hoped. I thought the controls and game itself were complicated and only really made it as far as fighting Tron for the first time. So I just ended up just playing on the other save file playing and getting hit by cars in the city and just run around exploring never really accomplishing anything. Then after that years later I got introduced to the Megaman Battle Networks series through the show and saw other instances of Mega Man in gaming magazines and other thing never really getting my attention so much.

Probably what got me sortof into Mega Man finally was probably either when I heard about Mega Man 9 and listened to the soundtrack on youtube or when I first saw a few of the bosses in gameplay videos of Brutal Mario (a Mario hack filled with bosses from several different video game series) The first classic game I played in the series was probably Mega Man & Bass (even though at the time I couldn't beat anything past the intro level...). However, even when I started getting into Mega Man I couldn't get myself the cdnfidence to playing Mega Man games beyond 1 and 2 especially Mega Man 9 since I heard from people it was like the hardest classic Mega Man game ever. So I just settled playing just the demo of Mega Man 9 on my Xbox 360 until Mega Man 10 was released. Thus, I promised to myself if I could get every single achievemnent in Mega Man 10 including I would try Mega Man 9 and get every achievement for it. Surprisingly to myself I did get every achievement (even though it was mostly done on easy with Bass xD) and I went on to Mega Man 9 and gotten every achievement for that. Then finally after that, I made the decision that I would play and beat fully every single Mega Man game in the classic series including the Gameboy series and Wily Wars and went on into becoming a big fan of the whole series as a result of that.

So yeah that is pretty much my entire story on how I known about Mega Man and how I got into it xD.....but its too bad I couldn't got into it the Mega Man series any sooner ._....well better late than never I guess.
