Mega Man 9: Wait, what the fuck?
Plasticity:
I will buy this game, but I do wish it was slightly updated graphics wise. It could be a 2D platformer with updated graphics and I don't think anyone would mind.

The first Mega Man, okay, kinda tough. All the others? Not so much.

Younger? I mean, I'm not Joe Hocking old, but I'm fairly certain I wouldn't count amongst the younger gen of gamers if you're going by when you started.
Frustrating might be the better word though. Older games were simply made to be very very difficult for stupid reasons with no difficulty option. There really was nothing more frustrating than having to start a level over because there was an almost impossible to avoid enemy, that you could have no idea was going to swoop down from the ceiling or sky, that knocked you into a pit. Or for that matter a boss that simply took half a billion hits to kill.
Current games usually try and stray away from things like that.
Jackie Blue:
Well, my point really is just that I beat Battletoads when it came out without much trouble, and 15 or however many years later when I played it on an emulator I could still easily beat it, using a friggin' keyboard no less!
Whereas my mind boggles at the insanity of Guitar Hero/Rock Band once you get past Hard mode, let alone Expert or Hardcore. It's a million times harder than actually playing guitar.
Spluff:
Yeah, but the thing is, we have difficulty sliders. Back then, they had only one option - hard.

That and a large chunk of the generation that grew up with Battletoads would you call you a freak of nature for being able to get through the Speeder and the Snake Pit levels easily.
Jesus why did they even put those levels in that damn game, would have been so perfect without.
