History YMMV / MegaManTheWilyWars

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: Detractors will point to the various differences in gameplay, such as Mega Man's awkwardly large sprite making it hard to discern his hitbox, his slower buster pellets and refire rate, and various other quirks as inherently inferior to the NES originals, making ''The Wily Wars'' more of a novelty rather than definitive upgrades for them.

** Another big point of contention is the music. While many enjoy the remixed music with the distinct [[UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis Genesis]] sound, others find the new music to be grating and unpleasant to listen to.

* HilariousInHindsight: An old promo image exists of Mega Man and Sonic shaking hands, meant to promote Capcom releasing the game for the UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis. Fast forward many years later, and Sonic would not only star with Mega Man [[ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogMegaManWorldsCollide in an ambitious comic book crossover]], [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros but in a fighting game as well]]!

* TheyChangedItSoItSucks: Detractors will point to the various differences in gameplay, such as Mega Man's awkwardly large sprite making it hard to discern his hitbox, his slower buster pellets and refire rate, and various other quirks as inherently inferior to the NES originals, making ''The Wily Wars'' more of a novelty rather than definitive upgrades for them.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: A remake would be the perfect place to restore cut content and rebalance weapons. Unfortunately, aside from Wily Tower and saving there is no new content, and any changes made to weapons has arguably only made things MORE unbalanced.

** While the ports are considered to be very well done, there's some divide between whether they're better than the original NES versions of the games or a step down on both a technical and aesthetic level.

* PolishedPort: The 2022 re-release by Retro Bit fixes bugs and reduces slow down. The Nintendo Switch Online version also runs smoothly with minimal slowdown.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: The first 3 NES games were ObviousBetas with lots of design flaws and cut content due to time constraints. Keji Infaune has specifically cited 3 as his least favorite mainline game due to how many concepts had to be cut. A remake would be the perfect place to restore this cut content and rebalance the weapons. Unfortunatly, aside from Wily Tower and saving there is no new content, and any changes made to weapons has arguably only made things MORE unbalanced.

* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: For all the technical shortcomings, there's no denying that the new visuals are simply '''gorgeous''', with lovingly detailed sprite work everywhere and lots of added touches (such as a little splash when jumping out of water).

* GoodBadBugs: Though all the fondly-remembered glitches from their NES counterparts were removed, ''this'' game's engine allows you to [[KnockbackEvasion cancel knockback]] by pausing just as you take a hit. It doesn't let you avoid damage like spamming the pause button in ''VideoGame/MegaMan'', but it ''will'' stop that little flying asshole from knocking you off a ledge and into a BottomlessPit, which neuters some of the tricky platforming like that found in Air Man's stage.

* PolishedPort: It should go without saying that the new visuals are quite an upgrade over the original NES trilogy, and the addition of a save feature makes them easier to play than ever. The addition of the Wily Tower levels is a nice cherry on top. With that said...
* PortingDisaster: ... the games have noticeably more lag than the original games, throwing off your timing while occasionally making certain areas easier than intended (such as the Yellow Devil boss fight). To say nothing of the tweaks to the controls (see DamnYouMuscleMemory on the main page).

* BrokenBase: While the ports are considered to be very well done, there's some divide between whether they're better than the original NES versions of the games or a step down on both a technical and aesthetic level.
