This review is based in the options the collection offers OUTSIDE of the 6 games. I would dare say it is a magnificient product. It knows not everyone wants to fulfill the demands of the NES era, and puts multiple tools for multiple skill levels.

-A single save slot for those lazy to memorize passwords (or those who want to go past tricky sections)
-A rewind button if you are really struggling with the game
-A practice mode for every robot master so you can experiment its weaknesses without risking losing time in the real game

And besides that, it gives other usability options. But for me, the cherry on top are the wonderfully compiled extras: artwork and biographies for every single enemy in all 6 games, and a challenge that remixes different sections from different games to put the most hardcore players skills to the test.

The megaman collections (starting with this one) are a wonderful example of what a compilation truly is: a preservation machine, an interactive museum of old relics. And that includes long past memorabilia and different ways to approach the games for both new and veteran players.
