I am ethnically half-Okinawan and I can say that the flavor of this level is VERY Okinawan to me, especially nice is how we have a king! It's ironic, since the Japanese took over our small island and usurped our king many centuries ago!
I am glad that the climax of the game happens on my little island, even if it's just a game.
i loved how this game was very japanese w/o being reliant on anime or shit like that. seeing the various ghosts, enemies dressed the way they were made me interested in the ancient japanese culture
Yeah, SNES and NES was where true gaming was at. Games then were not only challenging but fun. They were made for gamers by gamers. Today it is just pathetic. Just a bunch of evil corporations looking for a quick cash in. Where graphics are apparently more important than gameplay, you have to pay for extra content, and the games today are so incredibly easy. Mega Man 9 was just awesome and everyone is bashing it for being "too hard". Yeah ok, heaven forbid a game today isnt 90% a tutorial level.
Regarding the complaints about MM9, they're from people that never played Mega Man games. I sucked at MM games when I was 8 when they first came out and I suck at them now at 25.
Anyway, they whole graphics being more important than gameplay crap is nothing knew, it happened back during Nintendo vs. Sega war and thanks to the 360 and PS3 retards it's back again.
This game!!!OMG!!!The memories are endless!!! My lil bro was just talking about this game the other day. He missed it so bad!! Now thanx to you he will actually get to see it again. For the millionth time thanx for taking me in a time machine!!!!
If only games were made with this much Japanese charm nowadays.
This game is as generous in cleverly crafted gameplay as it is in beauty.
Seriously one of the best soundtracks I've heard in a game to boot.

By far my favorite Warlock Zone. The music in this stage just pwns! And so does the stage itself and its two bosses. Pure awesomeness.
