Buy it, finish it, love it, because if this takes off we’re going to see a renaissance of new-old games.

You have to appreciate what Capcom has pulled off with the release of Mega Man 9.

When the announcement for Mega Man 9 came out, gamers were flabbergasted -- split into two groups, but flabbergasted, nonetheless.

So what if it has a challenge level that'll eat you alive? So what if the graphics aren't "remixed"? The bottom line is Mega Man 9 relies on its old-school charms, and that's why it works.

While certainly a good game in its own right, Mega Man 9 does feel somewhat weaker compared to the original games it was based on, which mainly stems from the inability to really just run through the game freely at a more relaxed pace like that of MM2 or

Mega Man 9 is a fantastic game. The music is incredible, seven out of eight of its stages are amongst the best the series has ever seen, it has butt kicking extra features, a great story, and it's only ten bucks.

Retro fans rejoice! The classic Mega Man series that started back during the NES era returns for yet another outing in all its 2D pixellated glory.

Of the entire multi-tiered Mega Man franchise, the original NES games are the most devilishly difficult. The original game is by far the most brutal, but that’s not to say that the next five games are not also hard, because they are.

It's been 12 years since the last proper Mega Man game was released and even longer since the classic 8-bit days of the blue bomber, but that hasn't stopped Capcom from bringing its mascot back in this retro revival.

Let's talk about that last part -- difficult. Forgiveness is absolutely not one of this game's virtues.

The blue bomber is back. This is not your “Battle Transmission Network Tiger Versus” Mega Man either. This is the vintage, side-scrolling, pixilated Mega Man of old.

Worth Playing
Although Mega Man 9 for the Wii came out this year, it should be right at home among the other NES titles. As far as level design and overall game quality go, it is one of the better titles in those regards.

Gamer 2.0
Just a week after Mega Man 2 (the prime of the Mega Man series) was released in the Wii Shop Channel, Capcom has dropped the bomb and released Mega Man 9--the first real Mega Man game in over a decade.

Mega Man has had a rough time over the past decade or so. It seemed like there was a new Mega Man game coming out every few months, and many met with very limited success, if any.

Capcom’s blue bomber returns to his roots in Mega Man 9, the first new installment to the original series in over a decade. Rather than opting for a modern update, the title instead strives for an authentic, 8-bit experience.

To everyone who thought the 8-bit era died out over 15 years ago, Capcom and the Blue Bomber have just made a compelling argument to the contrary.

So, some things change, and some things stay the same. My 2D platforming skills have certainly changed. For the worst. My time with Mega Man 9 has proved that conclusively. But some things stay the same, even when everything else moves on.

I'd forgotten how brutally tough old school games could be but Mega Man 9, the new yet decidedly retro game from Capcom, quickly set me straight.

Of course, just like the classic games, most of your replay with Mega Man 9 is going to come from how much fun you have mastering levels, replaying areas, or improving on your speed through the game.

Most of us may not remember exactly how hard Mega Man games used to be. The same can be said for nearly any NES game of years' past. I mean we were just kids and didn't know any better.
