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." http://kotaku.com/5444479/mega-man-10-brings-the-easy http://kotaku.com/5444479/mega-man-10-brings-the-easy
