Mega Man 7


Oh man, I am all kinds of beating these games today. Mega Man 7, the first and only game in the series on Super Nintendo, was one I had been looking forward to playing. After all, I love Mega Man X and this game came out after that one did. How bad could it be? Fortunately, it was better and easier to play - just more modern feeling, really - than the six predecessors in the series. Sadly, though, it still had nothing on Mega Man X. In that game, you can charge your special shots, break blocks with your helmet, sprint, cling to walls, and just do more in general than you can in the Mega Man series, which seems to limit you to moving, jumping, and shooting. Oh well. One game remains in the series (not counting Mega Man 9 or 10, two games that came out recently that, frankly, I've got zero interest in right now). The game I speak of, 8, was originally on the PlayStation, placing its release somewhere in the late '90s and isolating it, both chronologically and graphically, from the rest of the series. So anything could happen with that one. One thing's for sure, though: it will be beaten, and beaten soon. I'm out for blood, dear blog readers. And there will be blood.
