I'm playing a 8 bit game. And I'm loving it :(
I don't know if I'm already at a point where I like NES games because they remind me of my childhood and all that stuff. Or if I like it because is a really Nintendo hard game you don't see around anymore. Or if it's just that I played it after a somewhat average Zelda game. But Mega Man 9 is one of the best games I have played recently. Probably the best after PW: Trials and Tribulations last summer.
And yet the graphics are... well, the 8-bit crap you'd expect. But they are all what the game needs. The music? It's way better than 70% of Spirit Tracks' soundtrack. And, even if I have been killed around 90 times in 4 days, the levels are challenging, and you are given enough powerups and unlimited retries so you don't give up too easily. And when you beat a level after dying there for hours, it feels really awesome.
I wish more games were like this.
