Quite the opposite, actually. There are elements from each that spill over into one-another, such as the orbital elevators, the premonitions of Zero's future in X7, and more.
And it seems now that Rockman ZX Advent may just bring Axl back into the mix.
Plus, the Rockman Zero Complete Works (being translated for American publication by Udon) seems to cover a bit of X stuff as well.
Not really. Besides proposed changes in technology and style over time (such as X's new look in Command Mission, for example), it's been said that Inti has simply passed it off as artistic interpretation, and nothing significant.
For which I personally call bullshit. I can take it for something like X8, where the characters are still recognizable, but that's what they seem to be sticking by.
MHX is retelling the story, and MMX was originally supposed to end at X5 under Inafune's direction, but Capcom said no. So later things have been added, and Inti has done their damnedest to make sure everything fits together. There has been some bits of rewriting here and there, the greatest example of which perhaps being Cain's early demise, but for the most part, the rest fits together.
Not as much as you think. The problem is, Capcom doesn't tell their stories in their games. No, they tell them in books, published in Japan. Stuff that leaves us by and large clueless about things until someone bothers to hunt down a copy and translate it and tell the rest of the world about it.
At least, as noted, Udon's making one rectification of that come May...

Anyway. I got all the original Megaman games in one form or the other, and play them as often as I can. I also own all the Hitoshi Ariga comics, which are bloody amazing even if I can't speak Japanese. You can just TELL.
EDIT: Screw looking at the purdy pictures. Some nice geeky anime folk have translated half of the comics. Check em out!

The series is Inafune's baby. I think he's managed to keep Capcom from doing what it did with the X series now, judging by the way that MMZ actually, you know, ended. (I'm guessing with him being the only big talent left at Capcom they're going to try and keep him happy)
The way I see it, the series is gradually moving away from several core elements. Look at the way the Zero series reinvented large parts of itself each game, look at ZX. The series is moving, if you ask me, to a more open ended style (even more so then ZX) Perhaps even making it so you just find bosses in each area instead of first selecting a mission.
Hey, what's this about Rockman Zero Complete Works being translated? I want link!

That's an adult link! You are so banned!
I'll have to try and snag that.
Darn it Capcom, put the plot in the games!
I like Mega Man, but I must admit, I prefer the X series. (Pre-Playstation, that is...) ZX was pretty nice as well. I wish I could bring myself to pay the money for the Zero games, but they're still like $20-30 apiece. *rambling*
How were the classic Mega Man games on gameboy? Furthermore, what's the best collection? (I only have a PS2 and XBox.) Finally, was the Mega Man & Bass GBA game ever released in the states?
Get the XBOX version of the anniversary collection because from what i hear it has everything that the PS2 and GC versions do.
Megaman and Bass was released in the states.
MMZ is rather fluid.
You're always dashing, throwing around your main weapon, always keeping a buster short charged.
It's awesome when you can just never stop.
Also, this is the first time I've discovered this hillariousy awesome song

They weren't even butchered, they were from-the-ground-up seperate crappy entities of their own.
I didn't care for Dr. Wily's Revenge, but the rest are pretty good.
PS2 and XBox are both better than the Cube version of MMAC, but I think XBox has a little more bonus material.
MM&B did come out for GBA some time ago.
