Just one thing crippling these two games...
...there just aren't enough times when switching a weapon will really be worth it. True, there another weapon comes in handy at one point or another, but it truly isn't a Mega Man game if you don't have a decent collection of weapons to switch to. It's kind of sad that including 8 weapons would be logistical nightmare, but the effort was definitely there in otherwise capturing the classic Mega Man feel. The obstacles were at times brilliant and the layout was excellent!
