Yeah, it's always a danger - especially when your mother is a hamster, and your father smells of elderberries!
Crap, even I am helpless to its power.
I'll tell you what Mega Man 3 has that 2 didn't. Snake Man's theme. And before you pull the whole "But what about Wily's Fortress theme from MM2?", you have to kill every robot master just to get to that point. I can plug MM3 in and get immediate satisfaction of hearing Snake Man's theme whenever I want.
Comparing the music in Mega man 2 and 3 is like comparing a vanilla sundae to a chocolate sundae. They're both so good that I refuse to choose between them.

If Mega Man 2 is the chocolate sundae and Mega Man 3 is the vanilla, then the comparison is apt, since chocolate is the superior sundae. Vanilla is good, but chocolate is better.

Still, I'm not going to challenge them listing Mega Man 2 at no.1 - it's a safe choice. It just kinda disappoints me that they did go for the safe choice. It's like when I was watching something on the biggest White House scandals. (I try to avoid trash TV, but it's damn near impossible on Sundays.) I knew the Monica Lewinsky scandal would be number 1, which made it all the more disappointing when number 1 came up. I wanted to be surprised.

Well, the list wasn't the most underrated games for the NES or the top 10 games you never heard of for the NES, so yeah all the choices are "safe" because they are all great games.
