This really feels like where Mega Man came into its own. You have the slide, charge shot, a more balanced Rush Jet, much less clunky menu that shows full item names, and you can replay stages freely. The artstyle and soundtrack are all on point, the weapons are useful and well-balanced, stages are fun and challenging with their own unique themes and novel ideas without feeling too overly gimmicky, less slowdown and flicker than MM3, and Wily's Castle actually feels like a proper gauntlet. I'd put this over Mega Man 2 any day, easily.

1 is clunky and barebones but still fun as it's the most pure, minimal gimmicks and bullshit 2 is rushed, unbalanced dogshit shat out in a couple months. Horribly unbalanced weapons and stages, janky as fuck, poorly designed, ugly 3 is fun but clearly rushed, some questionable stage designs, many of the weapons are ass, and Wily's Castle and especially final bosses are a joke

I find it to be the most painfully average. Nothing about it really stands out among the NES games.

I've never been able to play all of these to find out which one is the best, because I got tired of the series after 2. But I'll agree with OP that 2 is overrated. I liked 1 better. I believe you about 4, too

>You have the slide, charge shot, a more balanced Rush Jet Maybe unpopular opinion, but I don't like any of those. >slide Later games stop trying to do anything clever with sliding and just treat it like a shitty version of the MMX dash. >charge shot Now you're always holding the button to charge, the entire game. Run-and-gun totally converted into charge-and-release. >balanced Rush Jet I liked controlling Rush Jet freely, so few 2D games let you fly.
