I'm feeling the casual play-through. I was thinking the challenges would be like "beat MM2 on hard" or "beat the games with only the mega buster" (which I'll probably do anyway), but it'll be nice to just play and chat.

2 things I'll say to start...

1 - Two of the best soundtracks on the NES. Many consider MM2 the greatest soundtrack of all-time and it probably has the most cover songs. But I feel MM3 is overshadowed in this department because MM2's soundtrack is so dominant. If you ask me, they are both top 5 NES soundtracks.

2 - I've beaten both of these games several times. I'm going to play in a random order and refrain from using Metal Blade. For those who don't know, Metal Blade makes an easy game easier.

Good suggestions Jerry!  I wanted to add achievements to this playthrough, but not being very experienced with the Mega Man games myself, I wasn't sure what to set as achievements.  I added these suggestions to the OP.  Keep 'em coming if you have any more.  I'm sure the Mega Man veterans here will appreciate the challenge.  Smiley

I'm hoping my Blinking Light Win comes in pretty soon (it should). This will be a great way to break it in.

Blinking Light Win?

Beat either game without using an E-tank. Hard to say which is more difficult; using only the Mega Buster or not using any E-tanks.

*Regarding the Mega Buster challenge, there are some bosses that are invincible against the Mega Buster so we'd obviously have to excuse those enemies.

Beat the games with only the megabuster. Lol...if someone does that i want an autograph. That sounds like it would be very hard.

It's not that bad, in MM2 a lot of the bosses take a lot of damage from the Mega Buster. However, beating either game without E-tanks AND only using the Mega Buster would be a MAJOR challenge.

That bastard scared the hell out of me the first time it popped up behind me as a kid. Am I the only one?

I knew he was coming, so I wasn't scared, per se, however, I was startled when I was lining up a jump and Mecha Dragon rose up and OHKO'ed me.

You're not alone, I just haven't started yet Smiley

Am I alone in the mega buster-only challenge or the no e-tank challenge?

The music in Mega Man 2 is my favorite video game music of all time. So diverse and well done, and every track is distinct and matches well with each stage.  I'm not sure if any of the rest of you are NA members and took advantage of this some time ago:
