Nice! I personally prefer those versions of the first three games. Yeah, the controls are a bit different, if you're used to the NES versions, and they aren't monumentally improved versions, but I find them to be better in enough areas that I feel more fondness for Wily Wars/Mega World than the NES versions. The Wily Tower is also a really cool addition, with some really good original music. I find the Mega Drive renditions of the OSTs to be more memorable, as well. I hope you end up enjoying Wily Wars, when you get around to playing it, but in general, I tend to assume that anyone who has put a lot of time into the NES versions, beforehand, will not have a very favorable opinion of Wily Wars.

Yeah, I don't think anything will top the NES originals. I have such nostalgia for the first three Mega Man games, especially Mega Man 2 that I don't think anything will top them.

However, I did play and enjoy the Mega Man Anniversary Collection, so I enjoy the different takes on the games. Since that was a straight port, it will be an interesting to see an upgrade in graphics and sound. I played through Metal Man on Mega Man 2 and it looked really nice. The visuals are nice and the music had its own flavor. I was reminded that it is Mega Man 2 on difficult as they got rid of the Normal option, so that will be fun.

But, I am mostly excited to play Wily Tower. It will be great to be able to play a "new" classic Mega Man game!

Rockman 2 never had a difficulty select like Mega Man 2 did, but the Air Man in Wily Wars MM2 isn't busted like in Rockman 2 for the Famicom.

I have, like, a visceral reaction to that art style and those character designs. I absolutely can't stand it, and it really takes those games down a few pegs for me (they're still pretty rad though). Tetsuya Nomura has the same effect on me.

Nomura is absolute shit. Zippers and belts and clown shoes and detail upon detail to the point I can't make out any of the detail. Lighting is a prime example. He's a one trick pony with Cloud and his trick sucks.

That's how I feel about One Piece and Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. I'm sure they're great anime, but I LOATH the art styles so much that I refuse to watch either.
