Mega Man: Dr. Wily’s Revenge doesn’t utilize the Game Boy’s smaller screen size in any meaningful way, all of the levels are SHORT and poorly realized, and there’s almost no strategy to any of the boss fights. Notably, this game does introduce Dr. Wily’s “Mega Man Killers” with Enker, and I’m looking forward to seeing more of those guys. Enker is neat! The music and ending movie are alright, too. Still, it’s hard not to feel like Dr. Wily’s Revenge is much more than an entirely compromised pastiche of the first two Mega Man NES games for the Game Boy. Feels like more of a novelty than anything else.
