Most of them, I've been content to play once or twice, but I've gone back to Mega Man X many times over. It's probably the only one that I know which Maverick is weak to what weapon off of the top of my head, and I know where all the Dr. Light capsules are. I'm aware that's not any grand achievement. I'm just providing some context for the writeup. Anyway, even the intro level gets you hyped up for the game by forcing you into an unwinnable fight against Vile, only for Zero to save X at the last moment by blasting the mech's arm off. It doesn't feel like Zero only appears twice in the entire game because the dude maximizes both of those times. I think this might have been the first video game I ever played where a hero died (although since Zero is a robot, "death" is pretty cheap in this universe), so that left an impact on me, too. I like the enhancements of Mega Man X over Classic, like the dash that allows you to make longer jumps than ever before. It's why I always do Chill Penguin's stage first because I just can't handle not having the dash at my disposal. Well, that, and the game essentially wants you to do that stage first. The wall climb also enables Mega Man X to do things in terms of level design that the Classic games couldn't do. There's also something cool about getting all the upgrades and watching X gradually change from being pure blue in color to white. The new look just conveys that you're getting more powerful for some reason. Plus, the game gives you an awesome bonus by allowing you to get the Hadouken once you've gotten all the upgrades, and it's a one-hit kill that you can only use at full health. As such, you don't get to use it that often, but it's extremely satisfying if you actually manage to nail a boss with it. As I've repeatedly said when talking about Mega Man games, the appeals largely come from the bosses and their powers. Mega Man X has a classic lineup of Mavericks, with my personal favorites being Spark Mandrill, Storm Eagle, and Boomer Kuwanger. I like the fact that the weaknesses have a visible effect on the bosses, like literally shocking Armored Armadillo's armor off of him. Mega Man X also has an excellent soundtrack. It's got more of a rock and roll vibe to it than the Classic games do, which is ironic, considering the Rockman and Roll puns there! I still need to play the Playstation Mega Man X games one of these days, as well as Mega Man Zero, because I generally prefer these games to the Classic ones.
