After spending a portion of my Saturday evening, in an epic battle playing Ice Hockey on a top-loading NES against SpoonThrash, I was inspired. So inspired that I decided to fire up the ol' Nintendo Wii to browse through the Virtual Console NES titles. What did I find? Mega Man 2 of course! I loved, no, I love the Mega Man series. I've forgotten how great (and difficult) old Nintendo platforming can really be.
Mega Man 2 was originally released in North America in July of 1989 and I think it is safe to say that I haven't played that game since 1991 - give or take a few years. What surprised me about playing the VC version, is that I actually recognized a few of the boards! For someone with as bad of a memory as I have, that's pretty remarkable. It just goes to show how much time I must have invested in the Mega Man series when I was young. For those of you who also love(d) the series, I highly recommend throwing down the 500 points, you won't regret it.
Check this video out! Remember how EPIC the Mega Man 2 music is? Awesome.
Okay, okay, I have to add this video too. I think SpoonThrash and I will start a "mega man series" cover band, we'll get SpoonRavis to jump in there with a wicked saxophone solo too:

loving your guitar rendition of old school epic nintendo tracks!
"mega man series cover band" is the most amazing idea ever! :) but why limit to mega man? so many old school nintendo games had classic soundtracks!
~K~
