Mega Man fangame sprite style

I'm not saying I'm planning on starting a Mega Man fangame anytime soon or anything... but if I were, which of the following styles would you prefer to see it in?

Classic 8-bit
The style for which Mega Man is most famous, and one which has received even more attention with the release of Mega Man 9. It would make designing custom backdrops, enemies, and Robot Masters much easier, but has the disadvantage of having been used to death in most other Mega Man fan projects.

Wily Wars
I mainly like the Mega Man sprite from this. In fact, I'd probably just edit a lot of the 8-bit sprite to make them fit this style rather than using their Wily Wars counterparts since a lot of the other stuff from that game didn't look nearly as good. This style has the benefit of being easily converted from 8-bit sprites with a little added shading, plus it's been used rarely, however quite a few sprites would need to be edited to fit the style.

Game Gear
Not much to this style. The Mega Man sprite is okay. I might consider merging many of the sprites from this game with the Wily Wars sprites since they aren't that different. (Note: I'm referring here to the style used in Mega Man for Game Gear, which was basically a combination of levels from Mega Man 2, 4, and 5).

Mega Man 7
Unlikely to use this style since so many people use it and it would be more difficult to create custom sprites (at least for me), but I did want to see how this style fared compared to the other three.

Whatever works for you really.

Picked Classic style.

Classic 8-bit has always been good in my eyes

I'm going to go with Wily Wars because that made a lot of ugly looking NES levels look good.

Despite how often it gets used, I'd probably like to see Mega Man 7.

8-bit classic

and i sorda liked the X series

but 8-bit classic

8-bit Classic. Its just so awesome

Wily Wars since they aren't used enough and a lot of them are rather nice sprites.

Classic 8bit.

Classic 8-bit, same reason as MechaBowser.

Classic 8-bit is simple and easy to work with. I'd use it.

CLASSIC 8-BIT!

One concern I have about attempting the 8-bit style is that if you don't make it strictly 8-bit (i.e., if your sprite has one too many colors), people tend to jump all over you about it. I've noticed it in the comments on MFGG.net for "8-bit style" sprites.

Argue the Master System defense

What the hell is wrong with you people?

Wily Wars is the best Mega Man style ever.

I don't think people will mind with a Mega Man game because Mega Man pretty much already beats that rule into submission.

Jeff if you'd picked the Game Gear one that's 8-bit too.

I'd say classic 8-bit, but don't let the "8-bit" part fool you, it's not always easy to make a sprite look nice with the color restrictions.
Either that or MM7. Always liked that style.

Agreed.

Wow, overwhelmingly in favor of NES-style.

Once I come up with some RM ideas I'll see how easy it is to sprite them in NES-style compared to WW-style.
