With these improvements between both games it would already be the best way to replay these Mega Man Zero 1 & 2 again (Especially the 1 that with a patch of 9 continues/lives makes it more enjoyable and adds more replayability when retrying although it is still limited yes).
 
I played the series, but it wasn't an enjoyable experience like it was with the SNES Megaman games. I think the only way to make the Zero series enjoyable is to make a more fair difficulty for rank assessment, along with new story, levels, boss and enemy behaviors, and new bosses/enemies themselves. Unfortunately, I lack the skills to make such a hack on my own. 😅

So, unless something like that comes out, I don't think I'll be replaying the Zero series anytime soon.
