MD: ''Mega Man: The Wily Wars'', a compilation/enhanced port of Mega Man 1-3 plus a new set of levels unlocked after beating the three games. Includes updated audio and an inconsistent 16-bit graphical overhaul. Has a manual saving system along with passwords. Areas that had massive sprite flickering in the NES versions now slow down considerably instead (leading to an imbalanced Yellow Devil fight).
| style="text-align: center;"|The Legend of Zelda
+
 
| style="text-align: center;"|
+
PS1: ''Rockman Complete Works'', individually released ports of all six NES games. Extra gameplay modes added. Museum and Database options. Vibration and PocketStation support. Automatic saving. Arranged music in addition to original music (the earlier games have less arranged tracks). Slowdown removed. Officially released in Japan only.
| style="text-align: center;"|
+
 
| style="text-align: center;"|
+
PS2/GC/Xbox: ''Mega Man Anniversary Collection'', a U.S. compilation of the Complete Works versions minus some features. Includes other Mega Man games not released on NES. The Xbox versions include arranged music. The GC version has inverted A/B buttons. The PS2 version has input lag. Each version has different exclusive video extras.
| style="text-align: center;"|✓ (E)
+
 
| style="text-align: center;"|
+
PS4/XB1/3DS/PC: ''Mega Man Legacy Collection'', a compilation of the NES versions of all six games. Includes the Museum and Database features from the Complete Works versions. Also includes various overlays and filters. Some versions may have input lag. The US version of Mega Man V in the 3DS version has frame-rate issues whereas the Japanese Rockman 5 does not have this problem. The release is a port/emulation hybrid of sorts.
| style="text-align: center;"|
+
 
| style="text-align: center;"|✓
+
PSP: ''Mega Man Powered-Up (PSP)'', a full remake of Mega Man in 2.5D with a chibi artstyle, remixed music, and voice acting. Includes two new Robot Master levels and a new opening level. True widescreen. Construction mode. Option to play with new or original level layouts (original layouts use a 4:3 aspect ratio and NES music). Unlockable playable characters, features, and moves from later games in the series.

MD: Mega Man: The Wily Wars, a compilation/enhanced port of Mega Man 1-3 plus a new set of levels unlocked after beating the three games. Includes updated audio and an inconsistent 16-bit graphical overhaul. Has a manual saving system along with passwords. Areas that had massive sprite flickering in the NES versions now slow down considerably instead (leading to an imbalanced Yellow Devil fight).

PS1: Rockman Complete Works, individually released ports of all six NES games. Extra gameplay modes added. Museum and Database options. Vibration and PocketStation support. Automatic saving. Arranged music in addition to original music (the earlier games have less arranged tracks). Slowdown removed. Officially released in Japan only.

PS2/GC/Xbox: Mega Man Anniversary Collection, a U.S. compilation of the Complete Works versions minus some features. Includes other Mega Man games not released on NES. The Xbox versions include arranged music. The GC version has inverted A/B buttons. The PS2 version has input lag. Each version has different exclusive video extras.

PS4/XB1/3DS/PC: Mega Man Legacy Collection, a compilation of the NES versions of all six games. Includes the Museum and Database features from the Complete Works versions. Also includes various overlays and filters. Some versions may have input lag. The US version of Mega Man V in the 3DS version has frame-rate issues whereas the Japanese Rockman 5 does not have this problem. The release is a port/emulation hybrid of sorts.

PSP: Mega Man Powered-Up (PSP), a full remake of Mega Man in 2.5D with a chibi artstyle, remixed music, and voice acting. Includes two new Robot Master levels and a new opening level. True widescreen. Construction mode. Option to play with new or original level layouts (original layouts use a 4:3 aspect ratio and NES music).
