Back when the world was simple and clean, Megaman was god. Entertaining, somewhat challenging puzzles were creative but not to the point where you had to spend an hour either figuring it out or going to GameFaqs.
Like Alvin and the chipmunks, Megaman is held dearest by those who grew up with him, not the little brats who have the nasty corrupted, LETZ RELATE TO TEH NEW KIDS, story.
Simple clean FUN. Anybody remember what FUN is? It's when you beat up 8 robots, In their own fortress, then chase down their creator, Kick his sorry ass, Then start again and go for the high score!
That is why megaman WAS so popular.

Well, here in Argentina only gamers know about MegaMan. And that's a little bunch. I would say most of Argentinian gamers know the MegaMan franchise, but most of them just played Battle Network and Star Force, so they judge the whole saga upon those games (note: poor them.)
The only person I know who knows the classic/good MM games is Slugkid, who basically introduced me into the MegaMan world, so now I'm playing all MegaMan games (when I have the time) as I can.
Answering the topic question, I think it's the combination between the factors which, like WW somehow stated, constitute FUN. FUN=Gets me a bonerEntertaining gameplay, timeless songs, gets me a bonerclean (in contrast with the games that appeared after MegaMan, which ALL contain blood), FUN. Just FUN. WW is right, games lost their FUN a lot of time ago.
FUN.

That's because, once upon a time, games felt free to be challenging and require skill.
Now if you can't beat a game, it's the creator's fault, and has nothing to do with your lack of skill.
Easy mode is for chumps. MegaMan is cool because he's like any other original classic video game character, hes blue, jumps and shoots. Like Mario or Sonic, he keeps that simplicity, well, until a new series comes 'round.. Nowadays VG characters are some alien/samurai/ninja/king who has some stupid ass special ability that is STUPID, no originality I tells ya, none at all. What happened to the good ol' days when all you needed to be was a robot with a gun or a fat jumping guy? MegaMan 9 is new hope..
