That looks amazing.
Alas, I have no knowledge of Japanese, so I doubt I'd be of any help in trying to find information about this guy.
Also, Google Translate is showing me that the game's website doesn't have any information on the creator.

He's not porting it, he's writing it in windows, I think, but changing the style to make it more 8-bit. I'll certainly give it a go when it's finished. |

How far along is it?
All of the levels are playable so I assume that it must be fairly close to completion. What's left is probably just general bug maintenance it seems to me. Man, this game is one sweet demake though, I just love the old school NES Mega Man style. Does anyone know how to make it go full screen though? btw Derek, someone is totally giving you a bad name in the comments section on that site: "The game looks pretty cool. It's alot more polished and solid than what you get from Cactus. I find it weird that he gets cocksuckery and this game gets trashed. This one is ten times better than all his together."

Why would you compare cactus's games to a demake of Megaman 7, though?  |

I thought the same thing exactly when I read that.
I think it's because he thinks "indie" is a genre rather then a designation like "commercial" is.
Kind of like those people who think "indie" music is a type of music like Rock or Rap etc...
:D

unluckly it's not a real nes game, only a demake that looks like a nes game. Doing that on a real nes will be damn hard! maybe hacking an existing megaman game as a team of guys did for Sonic Megamix for the megadrive... great stuff, still i don't get demakes... i mean, an original game would be better, even a megaman game with different levels, like the new Megaman 9 |

I'd be inclined to say it's about working with limitations. That's something developers have to do less and less these days, so it's nice to see people challenging themselves in that way. I've always found stories of early games development, where coders struggle to optimise the game to run on the specific hardware, to be really interesting.

Which this person isn't (I think) doing. He is doing it in the realm of graphics/sound, but in terms of coding it's probably going to be much *easier* than doing a straight remake. |

In this case then, I guess it's more of a stylistic limitation. I kind of went off on a tagent when I was talking about coding limitations, as those probably don't apply to any modern demakes (Aside from those developed for the original hardware). I've just got idealised images in my head of coders slaving away over machine code for weeks, after reading about 3D Ant Attack and Mercenary. Didn't someone suggest a 64K games competition recently? |

Strangely enough, comparing the demake to the original side by side I can't help but be struck by how much the 8-bit version's smaller sprites leave more room for maneuvering. Fighting the bears and the boss looked cramped on the SNes version after watching the original. Could it be that the limitations actually made the game better?

i am absolutely awe-struck by the quality of this game.
the engine is perfect. Megaman is Megaman frame for frame, pixel for pixel, hitbox for hitbox. its nice to see someone go to such great, great lengths to mimic in C++ the accuracy of the original NES assembly language.
the sound and artwork are dead on.
alot of love went into this one....
this game is majjor winn
