Mega Man 9 was an absolutely amazing return to form after a decade away. 9 is pretty clearly the best made game in the classic Mega Man series. It has weapons that are useful, diverse and most importantly fun. The levels are really varied and theyre all pretty enjoyable. The minibosses are enough of a challenge that hitting the halfway point of a stage feels rewarding. This game is challenging. It has great replay value too, with additional modes like time attack that can be pretty addicting given how great the weapon design is.

The one downside to MM9 is that theres so much instant death placed all over the stages, especially towards the end. This has always been prevalent in Mega Man but it feels especially notable here given how fun the rest of the game can be. Some jumps can be pretty tight and the game can feel like it requires muscle memory since the punishment is to have to run through half the level again. It feels like outdated game design in the age of hard games that instaspawn you right back where you were. If theres one thing Id complain about with classic Mega Man, its that it still has the concept of lives and game overs that make you rerun the whole level, especially when you go into a stage with 0 lives because it took everything you had to beat the last level.

Anyway. I love classic Mega Man to death and MM9 might be the purest distillation thats ever been made.
