MMBN2 is my favorite game in the series but I suspect it's mostly because it's my first.

Oh yeah I feel the same. Problematic fave lol

MMBN3 makes a ton of gameplay improvements but then kinda hamstrings itself by having a bunch of weird gimmicky bosses, and 6 is a blast to play but in a different way. Plus by then the series has gone through enough changes and polishing to have a different vibe. By 6 the setting has a lot of established lore to deal with while 2 and 3 are a lot more invested in just projecting the weirdness of early 2000s internet into the future (and also Mega Man is there). And for better and worse that is at its peak in 2! But being the first one I played it left the biggest impact on me.

(this is also why Star Force doesn't work nearly as well, the setting is nonsense because it just reconstructs the MMBN world mechanically using weird lore it gets up its own ass about)
