Is it still worth playing?

Capcom and Inti Creates' 2008 platformer, the ninth numbered Mega Man, released only on WiiWare, PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade at first. You control Mega Man through 2D side scrolling stages, and the game starts with a select screen of eight stages you can clear in any order. In each stage you run, jump, avoid traps, shoot enemies and mini bosses and finally battle the Robot Master boss at the end. Mega Man begins with the Mega Buster arm cannon, and each boss you defeat adds a unique weapon. Because each Robot Master is weak to one specific weapon, you can plan the order in which you clear the stages. His dog Rush can transform into a Coil spring, and between stages you buy extra lives and energy tanks at Auto's shop. Choosing the order of the stages still lets you plan around each boss's weakness.
