It's got amazing art style and level design, with catchy lighthearted music. I love everything about it except for the lack of a challenge but it really is a joy to play.
It is such a great game. It is so relaxing, and the music is wonderful. Playing through it is not very difficult, but the challenge will pick up a bit if you are trying to "perfect" it. That said, collecting all of the beads is not that hard, but the lack of challenge does not detract from the experience.

Yep, I love it. Been trying to get all the treasures and do the little "side mission" levels too.

I have been playing the WiiWare version of Mega Man 9 for the past few days. This is a tricky game for sure. It took me three hours of playing to make it to Wily's castle. So I guess I'm halfway through now. Spikes, oh how I hate the spikes.

Just played Mega man 2-4 within the last couple months so I definitely have my eye on playing 9 and 10 at some point.

I'm probably in a minority, but I would happily vote 9 as the best in the series, and 10 is right up there too.

Played Dynamite Headdy for a while the other night, didn't get too far though. It left a good first impression though. I'll come back for more soon.

Hmmm...that's certainly high praise. I'll have to look into it.

Megaman 9 is probably the best of the 8 bit ones. (Rockman & Forte is my favorite Megaman game as of now)

I have been playing the Legendary Starfy on my DS, when I have down time (or lunch break). the game is unique and very detail oriented, for example falling or sprint, he has the funniest expressions. The physics of it are also impressive when he spins (attack) and he's underwater or quicksand, the spinning causes Starfy dive deeper in to the matter. I know there might be better games out there but personally, I think the dev team really put time and effort into making a great game.

After hearing the news about the Remastered Duck Tales, I figured I should finally play Duck Tales 2. I was planning on beating it today, but I wasn't expecting the game to be quite so difficult.
