Are graphics really that important?

If graphics was important Mega Man 9 wouldn't be a good game, but it is

 

I think it's a pretty crappy game, of course great gameplay and design like Super Mario Bros could have changed altered my opinion, but IMO the gameplay experience is extremely limited and nothing special. It's not just the graphics and sound which are below expectations for me.

 

Translation: I played for 2 hours and couldn`t finish a single stage.

 

I can appreciate a good side scroller, but I think with regard to MegaMan 80's NES technology really got into the way with regard to the gameplay they implemented.

It was already the Amiga era back then, IMO this game is not of 80's Amiga or Arcade quality. I think it's a mediocre gameplay experience at the time (now IMO it's pretty horrible, just milking nostalgic feelings) like was usual for the bulk of 3rd party NES games.
