About this product

Product Information

Take the opportunity to beat the first three “Mega Man " games in one go with “Mega Man: The Wily Wars " for the Sega Genesis. Whereas the original games were released individually for the NES, “The Wily Wars " compiles all three together. Sega also leverages the greater functionality of its console with better graphics and music that were not present in the original. It even offers a save function that makes the original “Mega Man " much easier to beat. While the U.S. only saw this through Sega Channel, the cartridge version was made available in Japan. Whether you are a player or collector, this is a must-have for any Mega Man fan.

Classic Mega Man in 16-bit!
At last! What was only available to play on the Sega Channel is now here to enjoy at home. First of all this is a copy of the original that only came out in Europe and Japan. Second there is no permanent save feature. You can save your progress when playing 1 of the 3 games, but when you finish the game it will automatically reset, and all save data will be lost. This means there is no way to play the bonus game Wily Tower. Now the good news. This cart has the first 3 Mega Man games in beautiful 16-bit graphics. Each game plays just has it should, and you can still select the stage/Robot Master again(after it's defeated)in Mega Man 1. One welcomed change is in Mega Man 2 you keep any energy tanks you have, when you get a game over. Mega Man moves fine, but his Mega Buster fires slowly. This requires you timing your shots. In fact all movements in the 3 games are different. Here's what I mean. Any enemy or shot fired that was fast moving in the NES games is reversed. An example is both Yellow Devils from Mega Man 1 and 3 move slower, and are easier to beat. It's weird, but you'll just have to come up with new strategies for a lot of the enemies. Graphics have great 16-bit colors, and make these classic games look better. Sound has nice remixed music for the stages. Controls for Mega Man are good, but his jumping can be stiff at times.

The Truth
As this was " officially " never released in North America to a physical cartridge, It was available to play on the Genesis if you had Sega TV (online playable games through a rental charge a long long time ago). Unless its the Japan version, You will be getting something pretty new. This is a re-make of the NES version of part 1,2 and 3. The animation in character movement is slightly better, and there is a unique section of the game after you beat all 3 parts that is only for this system. If your a collector of rare stuff & the game is less than $50, box & manual, its worth it. If you are expecting it to be better for nestalga reasons on an improvement over the NES, you could skip it & not worry. There are little things, like they tried to make the music a tiny bit different, so you will recognize all the BGM, but they didn't push it in any way to make it worthy of a Genesis Title. All the levels are set as if you are playing it on HARD, Units that would take 1 or 2 hits take 3-5. One thing really really sticks out. On Megaman II, the quick man stage when you are dodging the light bars, there is a delay on the character moving from side to side that will really make you mad, just make sure you are holding the direction you want to go BEFORE Megaman hits the ground. All in all, its challenging, and pretty ok. If it was common, it could go for $25-$30. As this is a re-production product, there could potentially be many different types from different reproductionests (?) . I was satisfied with mine as the controlls are lag free and the instruction booklet has no folds or writing on it. *** Retron 5 Compatible *** (last update in july 2016)

game is a repro
although the game itself is very fun and in good condition, it is a repro and only worth about half what i paid. not upset about this fact because i shouldve looked into wily wars more before ordering. putting 'super rare' on an item that is a repro is false and just fishing for buyers.

A good deal
For people who do not have a Nintendo this is s great way to experience Mega Man. For those that have both, this is a great way to save money. This is also a good way too save money if you do not want to spend the big bucks on the Megadrive version.
