Reviews of MegaMan 9 are coming in, and the reception is overwhelmingly positive! A good cross-section is represented in this roundup at Gamasutra.

I haven’t had much time with it myself, but so far I’m totally enjoying it. The development team knew exactly what they were doing when they designed this return to 8-bit platforming. It’s as if there was no break between the release of MegaMan 6 in the mid 90s and MegaMan 9 today. It fits perfectly. Tough as nails so far, but fair. Everything is polished and well designed.

For an excellent introduction to Megaman 9, watch Shinya Arino of Game Center CX give it a shot!

If you haven’t yet picked up MegaMan 9, do yourself a favor and do it now! 60,000 downloads on the first day can’t be wrong!
