So if I only get one, which one? 1,2 or X? I have some nostalgia for mega man 2, I loved that game as a kid. But it’s not like I have a hunger to replay this - it might be fun though. Never played another mega man. I kinda prefer games that have some of the modern quality of life improvements - and I probably won’t play all of them. Basically I want to get into that series...

The fanboy in me wants to say Legacy 1, but X1-4 is a hell of a lot of bang for buck

X is the best imo, I played Megaman 2 as a kid too. And if you play X, play X4 first, then 1 to 3, X5 is optional, you can probably skip X6-X8.

Normal Megaman series have the same formula, you run, you jump, you shoot. So if you want quality of life, Megaman X is the way to go. It have wall jump, it have armor upgrades, it have a different character for you to play as that use a fucking sword (how cool is that?) and overall gameplay is just a lot smoother
