I didn't even think the game was that hard when I played it for the first time four or five years ago. That one boss in I think Wily Stage 2 made me want to ragequit but that's the only time I ever seriously had trouble.

Mega Man's difficulty in general is exaggerated. The levels are rather short and it's all about learning enemy placements and boss attack patterns. It's just trial and error.
