Mega Man: The Wily Wars

The first “Mega Man” is primitive enough that the changes to the gameplay and music might represent an objective upgrade, but the other two games don’t just feel different, they feel worse. I’ve seen the changes labeled as “minor”, but to me, the changes to Mega’s fire rate, invincibility frames on bosses, and input lag add up to a poor imitation of two of the best action games of its era, to say nothing of the butchered soundtrack. These aren’t the worst versions of these games (hi, DOS and iOS), but I’d recommend even the Game Boy ports over these.
