Mega Man 2 Playthrough - Difficult Mode

You don't really appreciate what a hard game Mega Man 2 really is, until you play it on the Difficult mode (which I imagine is the standard difficulty of Rockman 2). All the other NES Mega Man games didn't have multiple difficulties, but I remember beating them just fine. I had a tough time with this playthrough, but I did get through it in an hour and thirty-five minutes. In some ways, the Difficult mode isn't really fair. Enemies rarely drop health pickups, and if you get Game Over at Wily Stage 5, you don't have any E-Tanks when you are dealing with Wily himself, so you can't really afford to screw up. In my opinion, this second-to-last boss (Wily himself, in two phases) is harder than the final battle. I don't know -- those are just my thoughts. Enjoy the video!
