@Draygone:

I would say that be better for you to play Mega Man 9, first. Otherwise, unless you have retro feelings for Mega Man franchise (which, you do not), the only appeal I can see in the game is being fresh experience for you. Otherwise, from what I can tell, Mega Man 9, more or less, appears to offer more of the same material from previous NES titles.

@Bahamut ZERO:

I could be mistaken.

Otherwise, if I remember correctly, MMAC had the ability to save in all of the games.

@ Bahamut ZERO:

Both Mega Man and Mega Man 2, along with rest of the Mega Man NES/SNES franchise, use password system.

I may get it. I am kinda hopping with Mega Man 9 seeing release on XBLA (as well as Wii Ware), Mega Man and Mega Man 2 will be seeing the light of day on that service. If not, both of those games are bound to be on my purchase list. And if that is the case, it will be first VC game(s) I have bought since few months ago.

As far as I am concerned, will not be worth it unless they are dirt cheap. That, and want to see full-color remakes.

Maybe that is just me...

@ Clayfrd: Zelda II is lacking not because of comparison sake... its because of its design:

• Having to rely on three lives to get everywhere is annoying
• Link's sword really needed to be bigger
• Random encounters become tiresome

Personally, I found Kirby 64 to be largely disappointing back in the day (I would have given 6 out of 10), and some how, I would say the passing of time, even more so, has been unkind to this one (probably in the 5 out of 10 range). Granted, the variety in the power-ups were great, however, the game was painfully short and level design just felt generic.

I suppose this is nice first step, however, this is really the kind of thing that should be done with the shop channel. I mean, look at how XBLA does things as example of what I am talking about.
