Conspiracy time. At its release, Mega Man: The Wily Wars was only officially released in North America via the Sega Channel. We know for a fact that Garfield: Caught in the Act had Sega Channel exclusive content that has been lost to time. A Sega subdivision developed the Genesis version themselves, and yet they haven't find it, and I don't think licensing hell has anything to do it. Wily Wars had a battery save, but that was meaningless when it was being broadcast to the adaptor. There were probably no NA kids at the time who realized Wily Tower was even a thing barring reading mags. Was there more stuff after Wily Tower that has been lost?

Probably not, if I recall correctly Inafune said Wily Wars had one of the worst development periods out of any Mega Man game and wasn't a fan of how the game turned out. They were probably able to churn out the Wily Tower and then sent it off for release.

If Capcom themselves selected the game for release on the Sega Channel, they might have added something.

The graphics are good (though helped by the fact that Mega Man 1-3 didn't have the best graphics. 4-6 kind of look better than Wily Wars). Music is good.
Megaman's sprite looks pretty goofy (he looks goofy in 7 as well).
But the big problem is performance. It is absolutely embarrassing that the Sega Genesis struggles to run these games. It is clear Capcom had their D-team working on this. Is this the only game Capcom even developed for the platform? I wouldn't be surprised.

Nope, it was Minakuchi, devloper for their games on the Genesis, and the Game Boy classic games except II

That makes sense. Nearly every single great Capcom game on the Genesis is actually a Sega game in disguise. Capcom was basically an arcade and nintendo developer until the Saturn.

same thing with the turbografx

only capcom games on the pc engine that are developed by capcom, are SonSon II, the soundtracks for side arms, and Street fighter 2
