This is one hell of an unforgiving game, it makes me feel spoiled with all those rather easy games we have now a days.
This game is all trial and error, sometimes its pretty cheap really.. like i jump on a platform with spikes under it and just when i land on the platform it disapears...
Anyway ive decided to finish this game no mater how angry i'll be playing it.
This is one of those games that i'll love and hate at the same time.

Double the anger eh?

"Double the anger eh?"

Why did you post this twice? ...Were you expecting something else from a new 8-bit MM game?

Playing a game with plenty of cheap deaths that relies on memorisation, makes you feel spoiled? That's dodgy logic.

this game is a challenge what we do'nt see that often now a days  but it is a cheap ass challenge

I have a question...did you ever play Mega Man 2 or other old MM games?

"I have a question...did you ever play Mega Man 2 or other old MM games?"

Well these type of games aren't for everyone...I personally love them and can't wait to get my hands on the game.

I lasted a grand total of 56 minutes today... the most frustratingly awesome 56 minutes I've had in a while.

Couldn't last the full hour? For shame...for shame."

"actually there is an achievement in it that you get for completing it under 30 min. So its quite possible to do finish it even quicker."

snaps, man. That's why I don't want to get this. Also why I reaaally don't want it on XBLA because those achievements would just taunt me for years.

How is a game angering you supposed to be a good thing? I guess after being angry because you couldn't beat a level and then beating it has a gratifying feeling to it.

It's hard but it's not THAT hard. It's pretty much about memorizing patterns. There are some cheap deaths, I agree. Like that thing that grabs you and hurls you at spikes in later stages or those things that pop out of pits (which, I know, existed in other games. But the timing here seems a little off, but maybe it's just me).

But once you've got those patterns it gets... I won't say easy, but at least normal. You know what's coming and you know how to avoid. It's just a matter of doing it.

Personaly I thought it was easier than the older Mega Mans, like 2 or 3 for one main reason. You can buy as many E-Tanks as you want. I knowm the pride of some will no allow them to use it. But the fact is that it's there, and they are extremely cheap. I used two in the final boss battle and that left me with 5 in stock. That's a lot of E-Tanks.

Now, for ridiculously punishing difficulty and levels that make you want to pluck your hair out and throw your videogame out of the window, now that Mega Man 1 offers me to this day.

My wiimote flinging arm is used every night and I don't even have a Wii."

I've had so many game overs, and hate and loved each one. That flower thing on Hornet Man's stage really pisses me off.

This game is definitely challenging, but by no means cheap.  This is how all of these games started out.  You play, trial-and-error, until you've figured a level well enough to get to the Robot Master in good shape, so you can take him ( and now her) on.  So far, I'm totally excited by what I've seen (only had a chance to try out three stages) and I'm going to keep coming back for more.  

Ugh, not a big deal, but man, I just noticed this game isn't even in 480p. Widescreen is no big deal, but at least give me my Progressive, Capcom. >: (

I'll report back on how long it takes for this game to make me cry.

EDIT
10 minutes. BS spikes in splash woman's level... I hate this game!! :*O

I'll play it more later.
