At some point play the rest of the Mega Man NES games. They don't get as much love because of the nostalgia not being there for most but they are still really great games.

Funny you should say this...!

Mega Man 4
Mega Man 5
Mega Man 6 (all via Mega Man Legacy Collection, Steam)

I'm gonna be honest, playing all of these over the span of a few days made them all kinda run together so I don't really have anything detailed to say about them. They're all solid, though I think 6 is probably the weakest entry since 1. It feels much more like a kid's game than the rest, partly because of the dumb story but also because of the lower difficulty and, idk, just a lot of intangibles. 4 and 5 are both really strong, though I lean towards 2 as still being the best of the group.

Mega Man 7 (via Mega Man Legacy Collection 2, Steam)

Definitely the most hit-and-miss so far. I really liked having a bunch of upgrades to discover throughout the levels, but they're almost all really obscure and hard to find without a guide. Just in general I think it plays worse (and, honestly, kinda looks worse) than the NES games though. Something about the more detailed sprites makes the gameplay feel a lot slower even though I don't think it actually is. The story is really dumb again though Mega Man threatening to kill Wily at the end kinda owns. The difficulty is also unusually low with the exception of the final boss, which I found tricky.
