I always remember Megaman 2 being one tough game.

Thought it might have been just cos I was young when I first played it but I recently bought it off VC and damn is it still one tough cookie.

How can a game be this hard. Still addictive though.

Some new stuff. the game will also have an online leaderboard where you'll be able to track your score and time against other gamers.

the price will be 1000 wii points.

Mega Man 9, which is being developed as a WiiWare download for later this year, won't only be old-school in looks but in difficulty, too.

"Mega Man 9 is very hard," says producer Hironobu Take****a. "I've always tried to challenge players and I think there are gamers who miss being challenged by games."

Bring it on.

What's his name?

Mega Man is green and red in those screen shots, as well as blue are these suits new, or are they in the old games as well?
