Or at least download the soundtrack. Or one of the many remixes of the soundtrack.

If they released a new Mega Man game in this style every year, I'd buy them for sure and I'm not alone. People are starving for games like this. Look at the success of fan-made Street Fighter x Mega Man and Mega Man Unlimited.
I just don't understand it, really. We've already had those types of games, so why go backward when you can go forward. That's why I like 7 and 8. They felt fresh and new. I do agree with many people that Mega Man does go crazy with it's sequels, but they usually always add some new feature to make it different from the last. I think that's why I like the X series so much. They're always changing. That's what keeps me playing them.
