Imagine playing Megaman on the Genesis—exciting, right? Well, hold on a bit. This collection brings the first three Megaman games to the Genesis, but you might want to stick with the originals on the NES. Sure, the visuals are upgraded, but the backgrounds feel almost identical to their 8-bit versions. Plus, the sound quality took a hit in this transition. The music, which was once catchy and iconic, now sounds more like something from a budget dance club.

The controls are solid, and it's cool to see Megaman in 16-bit glory without diving into Megaman VII. However, the overall execution leaves room for improvement. It's not a terrible game, just not the best version of a great series. If you're looking for the best experience, there are better options out there. This one's a 2 out of 5 for me.
