Over the past couple months, me and my friend dusted off the old NES and played through the Megaman series. We've beaten 1 - 8, and X1 and X2. X5 and X6 suck, and I'm not going to play them. We're part way through X3 and 9.
Has anybody here played Megaman 9 or 10? As a fan of the old 80's/early 90's platform games, I'm really excited with that they did. And they did an amazing job recreating the look and feel of Megamans (Megamen?) 1 - 6. They took the best parts of each, put them together, and designed a bunch of great levels with great bosses and everything.
I'm disappointed with what happened to Megamen 7 and 8, and the X series. They are still fun (not counting X5 and X6, those suck), but they tried too hard to be different. The SNES and PS days were all about being new and flashy and all that nonsense. Thank God companies like Capcom have realized that retro is in, and that people will play retro games given the chance.
So yeah, for the price of Megaman 9, I'd highly recommend buying it.
Some levels are fairly easy, and some are really hard. Tornado Man's level is killer hard. I don't know how I beat it (literally.. I drank heavily while playing, and literally don't remember beating the level. I went back this morning and couldn't beat it again, and didn't even recognize parts!)
