Just finished consuming all the collection content, and it was a pretty enjoyable time, after playing those NES games so many times, now I had the chance to try some new stuff behind them.
Regarding the games' emulation, it's alright, although I noticed some response time problems during some challenges, but idk if it's something in my PC. There is an option to turn off the classic input lag when there are too many things on the screen, so that's nice.
If you are having a hard time with those games, they added features like rewind and autofire, but you can always use the old save/load mid game.
There are a bunch of development phase stuff to explore, like artworks and concepts, great for long-time fans.
Challenges are a great addition to this, mixing sections from all 6 games in different missions is something I didn't know I needed, there is just a small recurrence of the same sections in several different challenges, and it can be a little bit bland.
For me, who love boss battles, the boss rush challenges were satisfying, and it's nice that they added some "buster only" ones, since it's something I already do in the original games.
The last challenge, AKA megaman hallownest pantheon, was tough, but I finally beat it, Needle Man boss battle can go to hell tho.
I probably would've enjoyed it more if the emulator actually worked!!
