 Images Play as the Blue Bomber, better known as MegaMan!  Oh, a mini boss! Do your best to defeat him!  Gravity Man's stage. He's waiting for you at the end of the level!  The annoying thing about Megaman is... is that sometimes you get unfairly hit, like here.

Reviews Mega Man 9Extremely cool 8-bit game that fans shouldn't miss!
Mega Man 9 is already the ninth installment (Oh, really? :P) in the long-running Mega Man series that started on the NES. But because the later parts were less successful, it was decided to go back to the roots of the series, yes, in 8-bit!
Mega Man 9 consciously harks back to the glorious days of the blue-clad superhero. And that is certainly noticeable. The levels are very fun and original, and the bosses are great too. Although I must add that the game is very difficult! This game is definitely not for the faint-hearted!
The only downside is that some downloadable extras (which cost Wii Points) are a bit disappointing. It seems that these extras have been deliberately removed from the game so that you can spend extra money if you like the game and want more. Still, a game not to be missed. Cijfer:
9,0Mega Man 9 is just as strong as the older installments in the series.
Mega Man 9 revives the old days of the NES. A brand new game that looks like it comes straight from the heyday of the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1989. A very challenging difficulty level, numerous bosses, and cool powers make this a gem for every Nintendo Wii owner. Cijfer:
9,5MegaMan 9 lets you relive the retro feeling!
For fans of Retro games, this is pure enjoyment. This time, instead of dusting off your NES, you can simply download it on the Wii through the WiiWare channel. Mega Man 9 combines all the goodness of almost every previous (NES) MegaMan title. Many power-ups, super-fast pace, and above all, a ridiculously difficult level of difficulty make this title a must-download! Old School Fun! Cijfer:
9,3Effectively back to the roots
Upon the recommendation of an acquaintance, I picked up Mega Man 9. And I am very pleased that I did; after the great success of the Mega Man and Mega Man X games, this is a refreshing dive into the nostalgia of the NES games.
I thoroughly enjoyed playing through the game in a few extended sessions. And both before, during, and after playing, I consistently experienced that classic Mega Man feeling: simple, at times (very) challenging, and oh so worth it. Cijfer:

So many memories, yet it's not a new game!
Time for a mini review of my favorite Wiiware game, Megaman 9! 9 as in nine because that sounds cool =P
We thought the era of frustration was over, Dr. Wily had been quiet for so long. but now... the war between you and the NES I MEAN WII begins! And Megaman against Wily... all over again! Thinking you were rid of a ""curse"" that made you throw your NES controller against the window, a new game came out. it's time for Megaman 9!
Read more...Ugh! This game... IS SO DIFFICULT! maybe because I was constantly playing modern games, and wasn't used to the NES era. No matter how much it made me angry, how much I felt like throwing up from stress (true story) (maybe it was just the sauerkraut who knows =P). I just couldn't stop playing! Then I realized, that old school gamers always played such games! I downloaded an emulator, and simply started playing with it too. All those games from the past, that I had also played. ""I remember this!"". sorry, getting a bit distracted and sentimental when talking about MM9! But I managed to finish the game after all that ""training"". Mega Man 9. so many memories, yet it's not a new game! Download this game... now! why are you still reading this, you should be playing megaman 9, man! Hide. Cijfer:

Historical Context
Mega Man 9 was released in 2008, but it feels like a lost classic from the '80s. The game was praised for its faithful recreation of the NES style, including the signature difficulty level and pixel-perfect graphics. It was a return to the roots of the series after multiple experiments with different styles and gameplay mechanics in earlier installments. The game was a huge success and even led to the release of Mega Man 10, which followed the same retro approach.
