Megaman II was the very first action game that I beat in a single sitting. I went to my friend's house on a Saturday afternoon, plopped down and went on to destroy the thing over the course of a few hours, winning with who knows how many lives left.
I found the argument to be pretty persuasive in general, but every time I saw the name Megaman, I thought come on, what kind of person would need an easy mode for that game!!?
Ninja Gaiden, on the other hand frustrated me for the better part of a summer. It desperately needed an easy mode. That game is to Megaman as Megaman is to You Have to Burn the Rope.
Mega Man 2 actually had an easy mode that was called normal mode. Ninja Gaiden is a terribly difficult game, but it's unfair to choose Mega Man 2's normal mode as representative of the difficulty of the Mega Man series.
"Technically, Mega Man 2's easy mode was called normal mode, while the white-knuckled difficulty typically found in a Mega Man game was called difficult, but it was an easy mode."
