This whistle... It must belong to Proto Man!

Capcom seems to have taken the criticisms of Mega Man 2's low difficulty to heart. Between the tough new Robot Masters, Proto Man, the Doc Robots, and some tricky new levels, this game is BRUTAL. Luckily, it isn't as thankless as the first game—this one is a whole lot more fulfilling. I also laughed a bit when I got to Wily's Castle and I was subsequently showered with Energy Tanks and extra lives. You can almost hear Capcom begging for forgiveness.
