I still love going back to re-play X1 and X2. Having a vague recollection of the order I figured out so long ago is satisfying. Also, I rarely ever use special weapons on bosses. I can do most of them with the standard X-buster and take very little damage. I order the stages based on collecting body upgrades instead...which makes the decision of stage order a little bit easier.

I also loved playing Megaman Xtreme on the Game Boy. It had a mix of bosses and stages from X1 and X2...which made me experience them in a different way. Really cool.

I played it on Game Boy Color, but it was one of those backward-compatible black cartridges that would also work on the original black-and-white monochrome Game Boy. I'm absolutely amazed that they were able to replicate the gameplay feel of 16-bit X-series games on an original Game Boy.

To overcome RAM limitations, the game has "autosave" points every few screens. That's super useful on a portable system where you could be interrupted at any time.

After completing the game, you get to play an alternate game with a whole other set of stages and bosses. I think it covers most / all of the bosses from X1 and X2. After completing that mode, you get to play one with all of the bosses and stages.

Now, there are at least 3 different modes to figure out the best order, so that's plenty of replay value for me.
 
Have you played Mega Man Powered Up! for the PSP? It's a chibi-3D remake of the original Mega Man, but they added a few things such as challenge mode, which involves beating smaller levels as a specific robot master or Mega Man. Honestly, I still haven't beaten them all. This one Ice Man stage still haunts my dreams! ("Soooooldier down!" D🙂 If you beat all the challenges, you get to play as Proto Man.

Didn't play that one, but my brother said Maverick Hunter X was really good. That was Megaman X re-made with 3D models instead of sprites. Gameplay was identical. Lots of anime story sequences inserted too.

I have that one as well, but I guess I liked Powered Up! a bit more because it felt like a more substantial change. Although, the PSP could barely handle the game as there were intermittent framerate drops. I never saw that problem with Maverick Hunter X.

There were some places where the original SNES version of Megaman X choked horribly (fighting the snake thing in the octopus stage, IIRC)

X2 mostly solved the slowdown on SNES with a co-processor inside the game cartridge.

Me too, X2 is my favorite MM because of the Shoryuken power up.

On the inverse of the OP of the thread, I always liked Mega Man 3 (officially considered to be a setback) more than Mega Man 2 (officially considered to be the best Mega Man game). I think part of that is that I love the dog, part of it is that blade power up in 2 was a game breaker, and part of it is I hated Quickman's stage.

But I have been meaning to play Mega Man 9 for a while. I love the concept behind it- Mega Man 3 done right- even though I liked Mega Man 3.
