A trip down Mega Man memory lane...
Notice how the little guy is jumping in every shot? You do a lot of jumping in Mega Man, a lot of jumping and a lot of dieing.

The opinions are pretty split among the hardcore Mega Man fans as to Capcom's choice to revisit the 8-Bit era rather than continue the series in a pallet closer 16-32 bit graphics. It was no doubt a lot faster to develop this way and for $10 is definitely going to be worth it. If were lucky we'll be playing a new 8-bit Mega Man by Christmases. Now how about a new 8-bit Duck Tales?
