This game is much more than just a simple demake.
Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge aims to combine elements from Mega Man 1 and 2 to create a unique handheld experience, and it could have been a lot worse.
It takes some strange design choices from both games, such as reeaaaallly spaced out checkpoints, lengthy lengthy Yoku Block platforming over spikes (no Item 2 to help you this time!), as well as the NOTORIOUS issue that plagues Mega Man 2!
Said issue being one boss ONLY being damageable with one specific weapon, and if you run out of that weapon you are just screwed! This time it's Phase 2 of the final boss! Incredible!
beating this game without save states would have been much easier if I didn't keep accidentally hitting the Stage Select button instead of the Continue button, leading me to replay BOTH Wily Stages constantly instead of just playing the second one after each game over (which there were a lot of)
