Ahh..the world of 8 bit. How I've missed you.

Holy hell is this a trip down memory lane. And what a wonderful trip it's been. Mega Man, he's one of the most popular video game characters of all time and for good reason. He has been in some damn good games not to mention some hard ones. Mega Man 9 is no exception to the (in)famous difficulty, but I love a challenge. Those of you familiar with Mega Man you know how difficult it can be I'm happy to see that Mega Man 9 brought those memories back of frustration. I know what some of you are thinking, why is bringing back the frustration a good thing? Well..just go back and play an old Mega Man (I'd suggest the 1st 3) game then come back and play 9 and you'll hopefully appreciate it too. This also features the first ever female Mega Man boss, Splash Women, she's probably the easiest boss but that doesn't stop her level from being like the rest of them, challenging, and very fun. You collect screws throughout the game which act as money so you can buy items that will help you out throughout the game. Some of them are completely pointless but are just funny to see in there, like you can pay to take Mega Man's helmet off, why you'd want to do that I'm not sure. But whatever makes you happy I guess. If you've already got a Wii connected to the internet get on that shop channel, find yourself a 1000 points and download this bad boy. I don't care if you've played every Mega Man game or if you haven't played any of them just go and play it. The classic feel to it, it's challenging so it'll keep you busy, the always amazing boss fights, and the good old 2 button controls (jump and shoot) :) What more could you ask for?

360 owners, just be patient, it is worth the wait.

Also, I'd rank this pretty high on the Mega Man list. Probably the top 3 with my favorite one still being Mega Man X for the SNES.
