A good 16-bit remaster of the first 3 Mega Man games, which as far as I can tell provides an alternative way to play to the games rather than something which can replace them. I've never played a Mega Man game before this, but after really enjoying what I played, I can definitely say I'd like to play the other 8 Mega Man games as well as the NES versions of the first 3 games. Wily Tower was also a fun little addition, even if most of it was reused assets apart from the bosses which were decent, and at least adds some exclusivity to the game even though it's nothing amazing.

Overall, Mega Man: The Wily Wars is basically a Mario All-Stars type bundle which stands alone from the original versions, but can't replace the older experiences, and whilst Wily Wars has its problems compared to the originals at least I can say it's made me a fan of the Mega Man series.
