You know what? I really loved this compilation.

It does not only feature the very first three titles completely remade for the occasion, fixing a lot of bugs and visual glitches along the way; it also includes "The Wily Wars" which is an entire new game with three new robot masters and a new Wily Tower that is fantastic.

The music is beautiful too; of course, the NES one will always be the iconic one, but what Capcom did with the Yamaha YM2612 was nothing short of outstanding, and I especially like the new tunes in Wily Wars. The use of the synthetizer in them is simply exquisite—a chef's kiss.

Now, I do have some complaints.

First of all, the game features some really unexplainable slowdowns for the Mega Drive, considering this is the same console that runs Gunstar Heroes with no problems. Second, Megaman has this weird clippin effect when you land after a jump and forces you to tap the d-pad a second time to start moving again; you end up getting used to it, but the thing is, this shouldn't even be an issue.

Other than that, amazing compilation. I'd check it out if you are a fan of these games and have never experienced this remake.
