Mega Man is too big!
Seriously, though, he takes up too much of the screen and it makes avoiding obstacles mostly a crapshoot.
I remember really enjoying GB MM5, though. (The one with the Space Robots.)

I know that 2 is supposed to be the worst of these. I think I've heard good things about the rest bit i havent played any if them. I think the sale ends tonight so if you don't get a lot if replies today I'd recommend checking out Nintendo Life's reviews for these games, they have reviews if all the VC stuff and they usually seem to be in line with fan consensus.

1 is just ok, 2 is sorta mediocre and too easy, 3 is decent but feels needlessly hard at times, and 4 and 5 are legit good.

I would also recommend Mega Man 5 on the GB. It's the most unique classic Mega Man game out there in my opinion. Really great game.
The OST is fantastic as well.

I gotta agree with this. Heck, I was reading the MM25 Official Complete Works that I just got & even Inafune himself agreed that II didn't turn out so good. It's not BAD by any means, but it's so easy and just left no impressions on me. I think the most I recall was the final stage music being decently catchy.

I'm a huge Mega Man fan, and I can confirm that 3, 4, and 5 on GB are absolutely fantastic. 2-4 are like mash-ups of the NES game with the same number and the next Nes one. For example, Mega Man 3 GB has 4 bosses from Mega Man 3 and 4 bosses from Mega Man 4. Mega Man 5 GB is a completely new, original experience.
2 is the weakest of the GB games. It can be beaten in about 20 minutes, and the game is so bad that Keji Inafune has actually apologized for even making it. It is only worth it if you are a huge fan, like myself, and want to experience it, knowing it's bad.

Dr Wily's Revenge is awesome.
Though it was the first Megaman game I ever played, so I am probably biased.

You can't go wrong with 4 and 5. 4 is just really solid and has a lot of level designs from its NES counterparts changed for the better, plus it introduced the item shop. 5 is totally original and actually switches up the basic formula by giving you a rocket punch instead of a charge shot. Some of the weapons are pretty creative, like a weak shot that makes life ups fly out of enemies you hit with it.
II was made by a different developer than the other four who didn't have experience with the Game Boy or with Mega Man and was also given a ridiculous deadline. The music actually had decent compositions, but the instrumentation was ear-piercing.

Mega Man 1 is pretty good, and V is pretty good. Those are the ones I own.
Honestly, they're all pretty solid. I played through all the NES games growing up as a kid, I never touched the GameBoy games. So only recently have I played them, and I enjoyed them. It's nothing amazing - but it's a "fresh" Mega Man experience because I never played them.
