You'll wanna break your controller in half at times, but clearing an arduous section's
extremely gratifying -- and after every hard-won victory, subsequent trips are almost like riding a bike. MM9's relentlessness molds you into a real expert by the time you reach the final chain of endgame stages, and you definitely
need those skills to conquer the evil (spoiler, I guess, if you've somehow never played a Mega Man game)
.
MM9 is an unapologetic nod to one of gaming's greatest eras. It might've been made especially for nostalgia-crazed dorks like me, but it's something that any challenge-seeking gamer can dig.
