Let us not kid ourselves here. Mega Man has never really had a significant change made to the formula. There have been neat additions, graphical upgrades, and numerous deviations utilizing the Mega Man name, but the core series has stayed pretty consistent in terms of gameplay and presentation. So for me, a long time Mega Man fan waiting for a super sleek graphically bad ass hi definition iteration to the classic franchise (gameplay preferably untouched) , the announcement of Mega Man 9 was slightly disappointing. But the price point and the stiff challenge make up for the lack of graphical flare I had so long hoped for, and 8-bit has been absent long enough to make a heart warming presentation both in the audio and visual departments. There really isn't much to explain about this game. It's Mega Man, take it or leave it. I for one will take it.
