this is probably the most important game to me.
when i was a little kid, my dads friend had this machine, something i didnt even think possible: he had a wii with a wifi connection. i was fascinated at how he managed to do that, as well as all the little things he had on said wii. one day when my family went over, my dads friend was playing this game on the wii. of course, being the dumb idiot kid i was, i asked if i could play, and he said yes. he started me out on solar mans stage, most likely to bully me a little, and i fucking sucked. i was like 8.
my only thought after i got home was "wow i have got to know everything about this" and did an 8 year olds equivalent of research (look at "mega man" on google images). when i finally learned how to play these games myself on the computer like 2 years later, i was ecstatic, and immediately started with 1. too hard. went to 2. liked it, but wanted more, and really liked 4 as well. when legacy collection came out, i bought it as soon as i heard because it sure as hell beats playing it on a browser emulator. when legacy collection 2 came out, i bought it on my brothers xbox. i didnt really care about 7-9, i just wanted 10. and now that i was actually good enough to beat video games, i loved it. mega man 10 is a genuinely amazing game, and also the one im most nostalgic for. i used to play this game so much i could get all 3 characters down to under an hour. this is the game that made me start doing annual marathons, because i wanted to play all of the classic games because of how much i loved them.
mega man 10 is essentially what made me interested in video games beyond mario.
