Mega Man: The Wily Wars Review. CGRundertow presents a video game review of Mega Man: The Wily Wars for Sega Genesis. Think about being able to download video games, game demos, enter contests, all that stuff in the mid 90s. For some, it's not hard to imagine thanks to the Sega Channel. Far ahead of their time, Sega started a service that allowed players to hook up ANOTHER add-on to their Genesis, plug the add-on into a cable system, and download video games to their Genesis. Of course, there were hardware limitations, as the games needed to be re-downloaded once the adaptor lost power, but while they were stored in the Genesis' SRAM, they were yours. This is one of the famous 'Sega Channel Exlusives', an enhanced remake and port of the first 3 Mega Man games from the NES. The Wily Wars never saw a cartridge based release in English for us NTSC gamers, but Europe saw this 16-bit shine on MegaMan on their MegaDrive consoles in easy-to-play-no-broadcast-license-needed cartridge form. Featuring not only a shiny new look to the Blue Bomber, The Wily Wars also toted enhanced music, better graphics, and a unlockable mini-game known as The Wily Tower...and the main reason to look into this game. It is a good thing the Genesis/MegaDrive controller is round, because gamers will be frustrated at the sticky controls found in this 'enhanced' remake. And while CGR's Jonathan would rather listen to CrashMan's Theme performed by the One Ups, the music can be argued to be better or worse than the NES originals. But it's a Mega Man game, and everything Mega Man is good, right? This video review features video gameplay footage of Mega Man: The Wily Wars on the Sega Genesis, and audio commentary from Classic Game Room's Jonathan.
