Mega Man 9

Holy crap, I just bought Mega Man 9 for the Wii, and it is pretty damned awesome. They really went old school with it, it plays pretty much exactly like Mega Man 2, except you have Rush instead of the 1, 2, and 3 generic items. I don't have any problems with it so far, and it has really brought my old twitch playing skills out. I have died so many times it is fairly ridiculous.

One really nice thing is the challenges you can complete (basically achievements like the 360), but some of them are flat out nuts, for example:
*09. Mr. Perfect*
Description: Clear the game without getting damaged.
Completed: When you beat the game.

I mean, really... complete the entire game, Wily stages and all, WITHOUT getting damaged?! Seriously, I used to be pretty damned good at Mega Man 2, but not getting damaged at all is pretty fucking crazy. Eh, still interesting that they even have that challenge. I don't plan on going too hardcore into the challenges on the Wii, since the achievements don't really mean much. I do plan on getting the 360 version as soon as my system gets back from repair, regardless of how sad it is that I bought the Wii version just because I couldn't wait about 2 weeks to get my 360 back.
