I don't really think Megaman 9 is that hard?

Everyone is bitching about how Megaman 9 is impossibly hard. I downloaded the demo and once you learn the patterns it's not hard at all.

Maybe you guys saying it's so hard have forgotten how to play games like this? It's mostly a matter of knowing where to go and memorizing it by rote and if you fuck up and die, going back and doing it again. I wish the demo let you fight the boss though. kind of weak you can't.

I actually watched a video of Mega Man 9 and I didn't think it was gonna be 8-bit.
I thought it'd be 16 at least because Mega Man 8 was 16-bit. .as was 7. . .that doesn't make any sense.

There is a new Bomberman? :)

Megaman 8 was 32 bit. It was a PlayStation game. They just wanted to be retro. He doesn't even have the ability to charge and slide which he gained in Megaman 3. This is like directly following up Megaman 2, which is fine with me, since that was my favorite Megaman game.

Uh, it's a game about a blue guy in shorts shooting robots. Who cares about the story?

But the story I assume follows Megaman 8, but I was talking gameplay.

Yeah, which it did. It's not laziness, it's retro.

They painstakingly recreated the 8-bit experience. There's an option to turn on 80's style sprite flicker.
