Thoughts
I've never played a Mega Man game, at any length that I can remember.  I do remember when I was younger (a lot younger), watching a friend play one of the Mega Man games on the NES.
Mega Man 10 has debuted extremely fast for a WiiWare title, at least the ones I have been watching.

How popular is the Mega Man series?
Just to give you an idea, let us look at another WiiWare title, LostWinds: Winter of the Melodias.
LostWinds: Winter of the Melodias was released on October 19, 2009.  
It has been 6 months since LostWinds: Winter of the Melodias was released.
LostWinds: Winter of Melodias has been out 183 days, Mega Man 10 only 50 days.
LostWinds: Winter of Melodias still has not debuted with any data on the Nintendo Channel!

Questions
Being that I have not completed a Mega Man game, is there a certain Mega Man game within the series that I should start with if I want to play the games?  Or, can I just start playing with Mega Man 10 and not really miss anything?
If you've played other Mega Man games, does Mega Man 10 fall toward the top of the series, or the bottom, compared to the other games?  
If you had not played any other Mega Man games, and Mega Man 10 was your first for the series, what do you think about it?
