Are graphics really that important?

Uh, graphics are actually a big reason why Mega Man 9 is well recieved.

"Graphics" doesn't have to mean numbers of pixels...the graphics of Mega Man 9 are simple, a return to a classic style...it's classic graphics, and it's the reason people like it so much.  Case, if Mega Man 9 had typical modern 3D graphics, it probably wouldn't have done well, or gotten so much news anyway.
