A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

The Megaman series feels difficult to me too, the Megaman X series feels difficult but it's got a soft spot due to when I was growing up. I highly recommend the Legacy Collection for megamanX, it gives some features the originals were lacking that were infuriating (like remembering passwords in order to 'save').
20xx and 30xx are 'spiritual successors' to the Megaman X series, but it's a rogue-like, meaning portions of it are randomly generated and when you die you do start over and the power ups you get are not set in stone in terms of order or whether you'll see them at all. So if you liked Megaman X but wanted something that's got an 'active' community and even co-op, it's definitely worth a look.
Thanks! I like the sound of the Legacy collection - I'll take a look :)
Megaman X, the SNES original, is a great starting point. X2 and X3 afterwards will offer significant challenge even after you master the first game. X1 has the best music of the 3.
If you go for the NES classics, I personally find 6 the easiest. It also has some absolutely amazing tracks, like Tomahawk Man's stage. 4 and 5 are weak points, in my opinion.
Thanks, I'll give X a try first and then move onto the others if I enjoy it :)
