#30. Mega Man X (SNES, 1993)
Oh boy, its a Mega Man!
Its everything you could want in an improved Mega Man game. Better action, more mobility, like wall climbing and the special upgrades, the fact each level is now a fully fleshed out real level,instead of a series of single-screen obstacle courses, a game actually built around these differences, and better music to top it off. You have the charge shot and dash(/slide) too, but now the game feels ready to actually make these differences meaningful, where they always felt a bit more thrown-in in the later Mega Man NES games. Its got all the other stuff that makes Mega Man great, the 8 different levels that you can do in any order, but has a good recommended order with boss weaknesses. The weapons feel useful. All the bonus parts you get add a lot of depth to the game, like charging up your maverick weapons so they do something else. The Hadoken is in the game! Its got the great intro stage. The individual stages all feel unique and memorable. The robot masters are well-designed and fun to fight. The game is a really solid difficulty level. Finding the hidden areas with the special weapons is fun. Being able to go in any order gives it some good replay value. The fact stages can completely change in design/style based on the order you do them in. You already know all about this game, you dont need me to tell you why its great. Its one of the most well-designed platformers there is. Thats all I got!
