I suggest you never play a contra, shinobi, or Devil May Cry 3.
And for the sake of your controllers and wallet, stay far away from Ninja Gaiden.

You forgot one: Super Ghouls and Ghosts. Never mind challenging, that was just plain RIDICULOUS!!
Yeah, the MegaMan X series is a much harder series than the original Megaman games. You had to get all these secret items that added to your power, but they were neatly tucked away just well enough for you to cuss out your screen. You had to be GOOD to get past some of the obsticals in the game.
But, low and behold, I consider myself sort of an expert at Megaman games, and the same strategy applies to both series: Keep moving forward, NEVER forget about your Energy/Sub tanks, don't be afraid to use special weapons in other places BESIDES on bosses, ALWAYS get rid of any on screen enemies BEFORE dealing with spikes, traps, etc., and ALWAYS get your Mega/X-Buster ready to go when you see a break in the enemy flow. For the MMX games, a few other things come into mind if they can be of any help.
- Always slide down walls when dealing with long chasms. It could be leading to spikes that you have to jump over or something else that could kill you right away.
- Air dash is your friend. Use it frequently, as it could get you out of more danger than you may think at first.
- Always be LOOKING! Things seem to come from out of nowhere.
- Some powerups are not always worth it. Don't try to get a extremly hard to get 1-up over a full bed of spikes that you have to be a contortionist to get if you don't absolutly need it.
If anyone needs any help with MM or MMx 1-3 or 8 (I haven't played 4-7 yet, so I can't really help anyone there), give me a buzz and I'll see if I can give you some advice.
