Mega Man: Wily Wars Limited Collector's Edition Coming from Retro-Bit
173In this episode, we share breaking news from Retro-bit regarding the Collector's Edition of Mega Man: The Wily Wars coming for the Sega Genesis & Mega Drive.
The team at Retro-bit is at it again, bringing a rare or limited release game to the masses with one of the coolest collector's sets we've seen them do to-date. Previously only available in Japan and PAL Territories, in 1994 Capcom actually took the first 3 Mega Man games from the NES and re-released them for the Sega Mega Drive or Genesis in a collection called the Wily Wars. They also added a 4th, unlockable game if you completed all 3 main titles, in a game called Wily Tower. While physical releases were available outside the USA, the NTSC US version of Wily Wars was actually cancelled. The only way someone could play this prior to now was via the Sega Channel, Sega's online service that virtually no-one had, play a ROM on the Genesis Mini or Mega Drive Mini, import a copy, or use a bootleg. That is, until now.
Retro-bit has once again partnered with Capcom to bring this lost treasure back for a limited time re-release. Unlike other releases from Retro-bit where there has been both a Collector's Edition with all the goods and a cartridge-only variant, this will only be available as the full Collector's Edition. Inside the box, you're going to get some really cool stuff, from interchangeable box inserts, stickers, full-color manual, and a ton more. To help protect and maintain the collector's market, Retro-bit has made the shell of this release a different color to easily identify it as different. That's something that is commendable to help avoid any confusion. They've also made sure to use high-quality boards and components, ensuring that unlike some bootleg and off-brand reproductions, cough Etsy cough, these won't damage your system. Finally, there will be versions for both NTSC & PAL territories.
At $69.99, this looks to be another killer collection from Retro-bit. Pre-orders look to ship in summer of 2021 from top retailers around the world. Since this is a limited release, I cannot recommend pre-ordering enough. If you are at all interested in this set, this is the best way to ensure you get one when they are released. Make sure to follow us and Retro-bit for more details as we have them regarding the shipping of the Mega Man: Wily Wars Collector's Edition.
