When a robotic virus causes robots to either malfunction or go berserk, it's up to Mega Man and Proto Man to help cure it in the second deliberately-retro installment of the Mega Man series.
I just beat it! And was apparently the first in the world to do it!
It's easier than 9, even on normal. The Robot Master stages in particular won't give much trouble to series vets. But it's still a lot of fun. I think it'll be more replayable than 9, if only because there is less bullshit in the game.
I found Chill Man and Pump Man to be fairly easy without any weapons, so they may be good starting places.
@Luke: Even if I don't do it, they game will be fully analyzed inside and out by the time of the 360 release. I'll be expecting you to get Mr. Perfect with all those adventages!
Man maybe I was wrong about it being harder than 9.. I got into Mega Man mode I guess. I was cruising through after a while playing. Game is a lot of fun, even if it's "hard" for most people.
Edit: "You can now access Hard mode." Sonofabitch..
@Eirikr: Yeah, Chill Man is definitely one of the easiest to kill with the Mega Buster.
I haven't beaten the game yet (I Wanna Be The Guy has taught me that taking a break can be a good thing), but I've beaten 7 of the 8 Robot Masters. I don't think it is quite as hard as 9 was. Maybe it's because 9 was my first Mega Man game, but I remember it took like 3 days before I finally beat a Robot Master in that one.

Sigh... So I just downloaded it and again, the morons at Capcom have left the game at 480i. Meaning I have to play with stupid blurry shit graphics again.
This might possibly be the last Capcom game I download for the Wii.
I tore through Sheepman's stage and killed him on only two tries yesterday. It made me think "oh man, this game is way easier." I've had a tougher time today. Found that the mid-bosses are harder than the robot masters. I can't do squat to the Sportsman mid boss. Made to to Chill, Solar, and Pump, but the Thunder Wool doesn't cut it.
Ah, searching for the robot master weaknesses. My favorite and most hated part of the game. Glad to play this one more time...
@Roomrunner: Well, you were actually pretty close with the Thunder Wool there. It's all about how you use it. The cloud itself does nothing.
For the mid boss in Strike Man's stage, pay attention to his eyes. They will show you the direction the ball is coming from. Actually run in that same direction until the ball clears your head, then run in the opposite direction and hop on the hand. That's essentially all there is to it!
@Eirikr: Thanks for the hint to follow the eyes. I've found a system that i can get through perfectly without knowing what direction the ball comes from, but that still helps. I've found which boss is weak to Thunder Wool, but that SOB jumps around so much!!
Beat the game today. In one sitting too course i did play on easy but that was just to get a feel for the controls (which i havent been use to in forever) Started a normal playthough and around the end of my boss spectrum it started to get challenging. I only have Commando, Blade, and Charge man left. So hope to get those done tonight.

I am disappointed it didn't use an NTSC filter to make it look like it was running through very low res cables so that it had that accurate look.
@JonathanMoore: Sad to say but megaman 10 has very bad level designs (the length of levels are so short) and the challenge isnt really there for series vets.
@Joeyoe31: Not true. 10's levels are just as long as 9's were, with variety in design and challenge similar to 9. 9 was definitely more difficult, but I've been told by some that they think 10 is harder. I guess it just depends on the player.
@Eirikr: Guess so but i would have to say that this is one of my least favorites megamans. Which is sad because i love playing as protoman and i know that you can play as him in megaman 9 but ehh i dont like paying for pointless dlc.
@Joeyoe31: I've heard a lot of people say it's one of their least favorites, which boggles my mind. I can see some appeal being lost due to it not being quite as novel an idea, but in practice and execution it's really on par with 9. That said, I definitely prefer some elements from 9, such as music and weapons, but like the stage layouts and themes better in 10.
@Eirikr: I dont know man all i know is that its missing something. Maybe i got my final fill when i beat megaman 9 but when i beat megaman 10 on hard i felt no enjoyment what so ever. I felt it was just another game to add to my library of games ive beaten. I really feel this is probibly going to be my worse let down of 2010 because i wasnt really hyped i would say but i was at that stage were i knew it was going to be a good game but i was going to get it when i had the money. Fortunately i was able to get it the week it came out. And when i got it i beat it in one sitting. Sure on easy but then i went back and did it with protoman and another time with protoman on normal and hard. But you wanna hear something more mind boggling. I was on a megaman forum a few years back and some guy said that he thought megaman 7 was the best megaman game and that 2 and 3 were just shit compared to it. He wasnt trollin he was actually being serious. Now im not one to say that megaman 7 is a bad game(even though it is) but saying that megaman 2 and 3 are bad games? My mind was destroyed. Imagin Seto Kiba from yugioh. Remember when yugi "Obliterated" his mind. Thats what happened to me times 1000000000000. :P
