I think the people that are saying it's too hard are mainly the ones that, after dying enough, decided that the punishment of dying and the task of memorizing and replaying many times is too massochistic an effort and/or don't expect a challenge this hard from a modern day game.

I might be stereotyping a bit, but there's other factors like the amount of time needed to put into it for casual players that probably isn't worth it to them, or the level of frustration that turns people off, which is why they point out that it's too "hard".

I think you brought up a good point when you said modern players dont expect a challenge like mega man 9. Players today are also expecting more of an open world 3-d type game, so going back to the classics welcomes a whole new challenge.

Alright so I absolutely love Wily's stages 1 and 2's theme.

I'll try to beat Wily tommorow and DL protoman tommorow.

"Megaman 9 would be hard for people that's not use to retro 8 bit style. I could be wrong, but the game was fun, and it had its moments when it came to some challenges. The first level of Dr.Wilys castle was a challenge especially  the part with those beams going back and forth @__@; Haha thats what youll expect from a old school classic Megaman game, but hey im not complaining. Im just glad my favorite character is finally making a comeback."

Well to this day I still have not beaten the game with Megaman since I only play protomode.

The first level of wily's stage is so easy to me that it is the only Megaman level in any Megaman game(including other series) that I can consistently beat w/o taking damage.

The second level is easy for the most part but I get nervous on the part where your underwater, there's spikes etc

The third level is easy

The fourth one is easy except for Wily and Magma man.

"Just saying the game was too "easy" would take the fun out of it in my opinion. Im good at Megaman games, and each title that was released has always had a twist in the game. It's interesting. No I just wont flat out say its easy, but I will say it was challenge, and I had alot of fun playing the game. Early 90s games can make a comeback. 8bit I believe are still the hardest games in the gaming industry until this very day. We all remember those evenings just playing Ninja Gaiden, Super Mario 3, and other NES titles that we grew up with a challenge. People will say Megaman 9 is easy because they have kept up with the old school NES titles, and thats cool, but I think we all should just acknowledge that Megaman deserved another shot in the gaming industry. Lets just hope we get a part 10 in the near future."
