pretty solid remake of the NES originals + some cool "postgame" content after you beat Mega Man 1-3

definitely worth checking out if you love early classic mega man, but also be afraid of it being such a faithful remake that some of the flaws were remade as well

my only real gripe is that i think the music has less punch compared to the NES original, but it's not bad imo

If we were to judge this game as a port, I would say that artistically, it exceeds the NES versions, but music wise, it's hit-or-miss. Ultimately, if you had to choose between NES or Genesis, I would lean towards NES, but these versions don't slouch.

Mega Man 1, 2, and 3 are fine games, but I find that the extra Wily levels are nothing to truly write home about, just neat additional tidbits, that do in fact have neat music accompanying them, at the very least. If you are in the mood to replay the NES originals and are all too familiar with them, I recommend the Wily Wars for a change of pace.

At the end of the day, this game is a nice coat of paint for games that already aged well without it.

This trilogy of games remastered for the Sega Genesis has been a very enjoyable experience.

The first thing you may notice is that the gameplay doesn't feel as good, it feels strange to jump and shoot, this is even more noticeable since the level design is the same as the original games. The slowdowns it suffers sometimes don't help either, but after a while you get used to it all.

But well, let's go to what stands out mainly in these games: the graphics. I liked them a lot, the art style here I feel has not been seen in another 16-bit Mega Man game or similar, as the color palette used instead of being colorful as in other Mega Man games tends to be more "realistic" (taking into account that it is a game for Genesis in pixel art, of course). There are some stages that were drastically improved and really give a different feeling when playing them, the enemies look good, and the robot masters even better. What did leave me disappointed is how characters like Dr. Light, Roll and Proto Man look, I feel they could have done a better job considering how the rest of the characters do look good.And the music, some arrangements sound good, others didn't sound as good to me, but all the songs in Mega Man 3 sound great.

Additionally, this game after beating the first 3 Mega Man, unlocks an additional Mega Man game, although it is not a complete game as such, since it only consists of 3 Robot Masters (with totally new designs, stages and music) and a new Wily Fortress, also with new bosses. I really liked this add-on, the stages and music are good.

Conclusion
In conclusion, it has been an interesting way to revisit these 3 games, certainly the gameplay could have been polished a bit, but it is still enjoyable.

I recommend it to anyone who wants to play Mega Man, Mega Man 2 and Mega Man 3 with a different look.

This compilation combines the first three Mega Man games with upgraded 16-bit graphics and was only released on the Sega Channel in the west. New features include a save system for each game and a new area called the "Wily Tower" in which Mega Man can equip any 8 weapons and gadgets from the first three games. The three stages feature enemies from the three games, as well as a trio of powerful robot masters called the Gemini Unit. The Wily Tower lasts about forty minutes on its own, making it the longest Wily Castle in any Mega Man game. While the remakes aren't 1:1 with their original game, they are enjoyable enough to be beaten, with only a few slowdowns, some of them making titular bosses like the Yellow Devil much easier.
