Current Events > Mega Man 7 was made in three months.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Three months.

Makes sense why Wily's fight is so stupidly balanced.

yeah no wonder it sucks ass.

It's absolutely wild to think it was released after the first two Mega Man X games too, it feels so archaic compared to them

I liked the Super Rush transformation >_> The rest of the game was eh

7 is easily one of the weakest in the series. The fact that it even runs at all is pretty incredible.

It really feels like a step back after X. The Classic series deserved better.
I really hate Mega Man's sprite, too. Why is he all hunched over like that?

The entire game just feels really cramped.

it feels that way all right. second worst of the original series

7 was one of my first classic games since I grew up on the SNES. Overall it's alright. The art style is pleasant but the feel of movement is really awkward, especially jumps. Weapons interacting with the environment was awesome but the stages also had a lot of BS built into them. The music is hit or miss but when it hits, it goes HARD (Top 3 Wily 1 Theme). The sound effects are campy yet match the rest of the game's style.

Nick All Star brawl was made in 8 months.

That was deliberate.
They thought it'd be cool to make the last Wily really out of control compared to the rest of the game. It made for a fun fight at least.

I like 7 on the whole, I wish 8'd been more like it instead of whatever that was meant to be. I'd take 7 over 3, 5, 6, 8 and 10.

It's a great title and arguably in the top 3. It's different, and Wily is hard. Those are the main reasons I see people hate on it. Wily can be learned. You just need to understand the energy orb pattern.

Stages are nice, great soundtrack.

Definitely feels like it was made in 3 months.... Which sucks because my favorite character was introduced in that game ;-;

8 was kind of creative. The Mega Ball made for some fun (and also some frustrating) platforming. But yea it was pretty weak.

9 remains the best in classic mega man. All the game feel of 2, but with none of the jank and just the right amount of cheese.

10 was wayyy too complex. The stages and weapons were really gimmicky and relied a lot on rapid switching and precision use. Not a fun casual game (but it did make for impressive looking speedruns).

11 was a ton of fun but too short.

7 is better than X2 and X3.

MM7 is awesome and the music is awesome.

i refuse to believe anyone loves 7 that much that didnt have it as their first megaman or something

I think 7 was the eighth or ninth MM game I ever played. I've always found it fun even if I often died on Wily.

3 is my favorite, flaws and all.

9 > 10 > 3 > 2 > 1 > 7 > 6 > 4 > 5 > 11 > 8.5 > 8

That just makes it even better.

They even found time to throw an alternate track in for Shade Man.

I'm confused how 10 got that high and I'd be personally be much nicer to 4 but other than that, looks pretty good to me.

I actually really like it.

I like the goofy, oversized sprites. I like the weird synth brass sound the buster shots make. I even like Spring Man.

It's incredible given how rushed it was. It's a shame they didn't get a more reasonable dev cycle to iron out some of the kinks, but they did a pretty great job by any metric.
Soundtrack is great too.
Though, honestly, the only reason anything past 4 (if we're being generous) was on the NES was laziness.

This was my jam.

The music was great, couldnt stand how big Megamans sprite was though

7 is my favorite one of the original MM games, but I'll admit I didn't play much of them until after I had played X to death.

Great game. Much better than the disaster that is 8.
