Am I just getting old?

[targren]

Mega Man 9 on the Wii. Beautifully old school, but hard as a bastard.

Am I just losing my edge in my old age, or is this game harder than the old NES MegaMan games? I don't remember having this much trouble with the old ones (except maybe the very first one... whooo was that one a *****).

Don't get me wrong, I love the game and I think that whatever else Capcom might be doing wrong repeatedly (*cough*DLC whore*cough*), they need to get credit for making an old school Mega Man, but to anyone who remembers the old NES games: Are the developers becoming more evil, or have I just lost my side-scrolling mojo?

I always thought mega man was really hard anyway...

I never played it for long enough to really get a sense of it.

Oh, 9 is hard as shit. I've been stuck on Wily for months. Most of the original MM games weren't too difficult, though the later ones did get pretty tough. The X series to me is notorious for being hard as hell, along with the Zero series.

Nothing quite like the deceiving MM9, though. None of it looks hard, but then you play it...

well, I started my gaming life with the N64... so I wouldn't know

edit: that said, I think Megaman 9 is really fucking hard. I can't even get past 1 of the bosses!

I've never been into those THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO JUMP TO THE END OF THE STAGE AND IF YOU MAKE ONE MISTAKE YOU'RE FUCKING DEAD.....

Not much fun to me. SO they've always been balls to the walls hard for me.

You may just be rusty. Belive me, I've had the same problem after puttting a game down for a little while. You're not old until you have to look down to remeber where the buttons are.

It's harder than some, but easier than the original. I can complete it but only with the energy tanks.

Hell we all slowly loose our motor skills over time I'm only 20 but find I cant beat some games I used to breeze through Rayman for one I no longer have the reaction speed of an 8 year old.

I don't know i didn't think it was that hard...but then again "LOVE" the mega man
series and i can't wait for MM10...proving that better graphics don't make a better game

Although Mega Man 9 is Mega Hard (hah!) I think your also getting old. Just saying.
