A new edition of Retro Corner is up, and we check out Mega Man VII on the Super NES. It’s been a few weeks since Mega Man 11 saw a release on the streaming services and consoles. For once Capcom showed how to do the Blue Bomber justice after the fallout of Might No.9. They even incorporated new mechanics that never appeared in any series of Mega Man. That’s what I always loved about these retro style Indy titles and its how they try to improve these original formulas. Instead of staying true to the genres roots and making the exact style with the same mistakes, these developers try to fix any issues. Even though MM11 is using 3D graphics and got developed by Capcom, it still falls into Indy category. Regardless, I’m really enjoying the retro style Indy games of all kinds we’ve gotten over the years. I mean after getting so many classics like Shovel Knight, Shantae, Double Dragon IV, and many others makes me happy its not stopping.
For MMVII, the game stayed true to the roots of the original formula instead of going a different direction. It’s surprising they didn’t despite developing MMVII while producing MMX2 and X3 at the same time. I can see why they didn’t incorporate all the ideas from the X series. I mean weren't it defeat the purpose of calling it the Classic series? That’s not to say MMVII didn’t receive any updated features in this entry. As always, the graphics would see a massive boost in detail thanks to the 16-bit power from the Super NES. By 1995, we have already seen how broad the graphics could get for 2D games even with Super FX Chip. However, despite the capabilities of Super FX Chip, MMVII doesn’t use any of it. That doesn’t mean this entry needs it to still produce great visuals and sound considering the console’s heavy hitters. Mega Man VII (Super NES) Review
