Megaman 10

[A Black Falcon]

I've heard that it's easier than MM9, in MM10's Normal mode I mean. I haven't gotten MM10 yet, but I hope that's true, because while MM9 is a great game, the difficulty level is just so, so insane... it was one of the first WiiWare games I got, but though I did finally manage to struggle through all eight Robot Master stages (that was really hard, and took a while), I haven't beaten it because the Wily stages are insane and of course there's no saving in that part, in classic NES fashion. Great game, but the difficulty is just too high. MM9's way harder than any of the NES or Game Boy games -- and some of the GB ones were pretty tough. I and III for GB are quite hard, IV a challenge... II is a complete joke, probably the easiest MM game ever, though. The Game Boy ones are just as difficult as the NES oens though, II aside, and might be even harder.

But still, MM9 is harder. It's not 8-bit Mega Man hard. It's closer to MM&B hard, or MMX6 hard, or MM Zero hard, than to any of the 8-bit games. Yeah, there are a few too many insanely hard Mega Man games... MM Battle Network was way too hard too, though I've heard that it gets easier farther in, I always have given up early on when it's stupidly difficult and not very fun. And as I said, MM I GB... very short, but quite tough! And then MM III GB is longer and also really hard. Some of MM III's stages were almost as hard as X6 levels... not QUITE as hard, X6 is the harder game (I beat MMIII, not so for X6), but hard.

My point is though, I enjoy the difficulty of the NES and GB games better than the difficulty of all of those too-hard followups. I'd more rather see MM9 or 10 be closer to the NES or GB difficulty levels than the crazy difficulty level MM9 has...

And then the DLC is for even HARDER difficulty options. Talking about rubbing salt in the wound.
