for my whole gaming life, i have never missed a mega man, Kirby, or metroid game! it may seem like a lie, but it is true, and also, my very first video game was the NES: sonic and knuckles. and so started the best waste of my life!!! for the metroid series, i say it was too short, not the games, but the series. Kirby, was OK, but the best one was air-ride. and for mega man, i don't consider the zero series a mega man, and i say that the X series is, but not a good one. other favorites are: a few Zelda games like wind waker and orcarena (don't care about spelling), the YU-GI-OH series like sacred cards, and then the Mario series like Mario 64, super Mario, Yoshi's island with baby Mario/Luigi, Luigi's mansion, and double dash for game cube.
