Was Mega Man always this hard?

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky is very much like this, from what I understand from Yahtzee.

Megaman 1-6 and 9 are the hardest in the series in my opinion. I belive the series is looked down upon by most for being babyish, but once they played one of these games, they realize megaman does not fuck around for anyone!
