Mega Man 9 is the toughest Mega Man game?

So far, Patrick Klepek over at the MTV Multiplayer Blog has only been able to fight one boss in Mega Man 9.

In the past, he easily got through Mega Man games like they were nothing. In the latest one, he is often finding himself seeing a "Game Over" screen after just barely passing the first save point.
The original “Mega Man” is arguably the hardest game in the series, but I’m hard pressed to believe that’s because Keiji Inafune and his team at Capcom intended to make something bitterly difficult to screw with players’ heads; that’s just how games were designed back then. Games of that era were ridiculously difficult and “Mega Man” was no different.

“Mega Man 9,” however, comes during an era of game features like a “no fail” mode in “Rock Band 2″ and regenerating health in “Halo.” “Mega Man 9″’s difficulty is intentional. Its deaths were engineered to be cheap. Every time you die and it feels like it wasn’t your fault, they were trying to make you upset. That’s one of the reasons we’re “Mega Man” fans, right? It’s just how they work.

    Haha, he probably has a point, we're all kinda spoiled. Yet another reason I welcome this revival.

    Or perhaps, you know, he really just sucked during the game.

    This is one of those old skool games like Contra where the challenge is remembering the levels and getting your fingers to cooperate. If you get something unexpected right the first time it was probably a twitch or an accident.

    I beat Galaxy man last night as successfully remembering to avoiding the drop-down robots. I've gotten blocked in numerous other stages since then. Apparently I just chose the really easy level first.

    Could anyone beat Contra without the 32 lives code? That game was tough. Not as hard as Battletoads, but tough.

    I'm sorry, but that is VERY VERY sad.
