Wily Wars ignores most of the regional changes seen in the original NES Mega Man games, adopting Japanese-style logos (which Capcom claim are registered trademarks now) and in the first Mega Man game's case, its entire title screen layout. On the NES this screen is silent, whereas Wily Wars recycles the title screen music from Mega Man 3.

Unlike the NES, no attempt would be made to optimise for PAL televisions, meaning Wily Wars runs at a lower resolution in PAL regions than the NES (256x224 vs. 256x239).

Wily Wars chooses to update the level select, taking design cues from Mega Man 3. The robot master sprites are replaced with portraits.

The Mega Drive ports choose to use Arabic numbers to denote the sequels outside of Japan, rather than Roman numerals. Up until Mega Man 8, the Mega Man games would be inconsistent with their numbering, using Roman numerals in-game but Arabic on their boxes and marketing.

The menu is also removed in Wily Wars.
