# Talk:Mega Man 7

I've started a discussion about including Robot Masters in Mega Man articles at the Video Game project talk page.  If you have an opinion, please remark here. Lumaga (talk) 06:28, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Looks like the discussion's over; it doesn't appear anywhere on the page you've linked to. What was the outcome?--Martin IIIa (talk) 15:21, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

I've just added a statement that Capcom had cancelled the game in summer 1994 but later went ahead and released it. I found this info in an issue of GamePro, but I'm a bit uncertain about it. For one thing, I find it odd that this generally well-researched article had no mention of a cancellation before this. A cancellation of such a high-profile game should have been widely reported in the gaming media. Also, the GamePro statement says they reported the announced cancellation in the letters page of their August 1994 issue, but I've triple-checked the letters page of that issue and there's no mention of Mega Man 7 whatsoever. I checked the news section for good measure, but again, nothing about Mega Man 7. Any thoughts on this would be much appreciated.--Martin IIIa (talk) 15:15, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

This is notify that the link 

Greenstein, Jane (September 8, 1995). "Game publishers tighten supply to control market". Video Business. Reed Business Information. Retrieved April 16, 2010.
is looking like it is dead forever. There is no archived copies of that source, and it looks like it won't be available anywhere else. --Lone Guardian (talk) 22:29, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

I'll do this one. TarkusABtalk 02:31, 17 June 2018 (UTC)
Plot

I haven't played the game, but I've played other Mega Mans and I don't feel the plot in these games is of much significant importance. I feel it could be explained in a paragraph. I think this plots goes into too much detail, like "Mega Man counters that he is "more than a robot". (In the Japanese version, Mega Man stands in silence.)", mentions of every brief skirmish and fight, and the theatric play-by-play.
Plot should come after gameplay, especially in a game more gameplay-centric
Honestly other Mega Man articles that are Good Articles have the same formula in them, with two paragraphs in them and the plot coming before the Gameplay. GamerPro64 03:53, 26 June 2018 (UTC)
OK TarkusABtalk 06:29, 2 July 2018 (UTC)
Gameplay

Info at the end of paragraph one is missing a source.
For some strange reason I can't find an online source on this. Its in the game so I might need to source the game. GamerPro64 03:53, 26 June 2018 (UTC)
In that case, could we find a source that just give the general flow without all the boss detail? (i.e. Only some robots are available at the beginning, as the player continues, more robot masters are unlocked to play). Most of the detail there now isn't helpful. I'm not familiar with the game so the boss names tell me nothing. Since we can't find a source, maybe that's saying something about how important it is. TarkusABtalk 06:29, 2 July 2018 (UTC)
I think I took care of the section now. GamerPro64 02:42, 10 July 2018 (UTC)
No other comments, pretty well written
Development

Due to "bad timing" - How about say "Due to poor timing" and pull the quotation marks.
Done. GamerPro64 03:53, 26 June 2018 (UTC)
credited as... - There are a few instances in this section where it gives the credited names of the developers. This is not necessary.
Removed. GamerPro64 03:53, 26 June 2018 (UTC)
stating that the team was very devoted to the project's completion - I think it should say "stated" past tense
Done. GamerPro64 03:53, 26 June 2018 (UTC)
Inafune takes credit... - Should it be past tense, "took" credit?
Done. GamerPro64 03:53, 26 June 2018 (UTC)
...interact with the environments of many stages - Remove "of many stages"
Done. GamerPro64 03:53, 26 June 2018 (UTC)
the game went beta - Not proper english, I think. Maybe, "the game entered the beta phase" or "beta testing"
Changed it to "Went into its beta stage". GamerPro64 03:53, 26 June 2018 (UTC)
"something that cannot be defeated without the use of an Energy Tank" - Energy Tanks were not mentioned in gameplay. Either explain them there, or rewrite this piece for it to make sense to someone unfamiliar with the game mechanics.
Added information on E-Tanks in the Notes. GamerPro64 03:34, 29 June 2018 (UTC)
The beta for the original - Again beta is a thing not an action. "Beta testing for the..."
Done. GamerPro64 03:53, 26 June 2018 (UTC)
Reception

The websites should be italicized too WP:VG/STYLE
Done. GamerPro64 05:00, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
Wikilink IGN in the body at first mention
Done. GamerPro64 05:00, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
Any reason why the GamePro score is written differently than the other x out of x scores?
Matched it up with the other scores. GamerPro64 05:00, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
Is the Nintendo Power score an average? It may be worth footnoting the individual scores if we have them.
Its kind of hard to explain because I have no idea what their grading score is as I couldn't find a legend about their criteria. GamerPro64 03:34, 29 June 2018 (UTC)
I'm not sure I understand. Do you have access to the source? Is it an average of 3-4 reviewers or an average of components (graphics, sound, ...)? If you don't have access, OK but let's at least put a footnote to say it's an aggregated score. No way NP gave that score directly. TarkusABtalk 06:29, 2 July 2018 (UTC)
I do have access to the source and it is an average of components. GamerPro64 04:13, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
Added note. GamerPro64 02:42, 10 July 2018 (UTC)
If the IGN score is the only retrospective review there, I'd say pull it from the table and keep it to contemporary reviews only.
Removed from table. GamerPro64 05:00, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
Lead

The video game was released in Japan I don't think I've ever read someone write "The video game...", maybe just "The game..." works better?
Yes it does. GamerPro64 14:08, 26 June 2018 (UTC)
The infobox is overpopulated with credits. According to the template documentation, if three or more people are credited for a role, leave it out or put into prose if that important. Only the "lead" people should be in the infobox.
Reworked the infobox. GamerPro64 14:08, 26 June 2018 (UTC)
The Windows release is just emulation, no? Should be removed from infobox.
Done. GamerPro64 14:08, 26 June 2018 (UTC)

Images are good
No Copyvio issues

I will review Dev, Reception, Lede tomorrow. TarkusABtalk 04:15, 23 June 2018 (UTC)

@GamerPro64: OK I am done with my first pass. TarkusABtalk 12:35, 23 June 2018 (UTC)
@TarkusAB: I took care of answering all your comments. GamerPro64 03:34, 29 June 2018 (UTC)
@GamerPro64: Responded to three items. TarkusABtalk 06:29, 2 July 2018 (UTC)
@TarkusAB: I responded to your comments. GamerPro64 02:42, 10 July 2018 (UTC)
OK cool looks good, pass. TarkusABtalk 19:33, 10 July 2018 (UTC)

I feel as if the citation for how an E-Tank works could be better, i.e. linking to the game's manual (or even Mega Man 2's manual, since that's where it was first introduced). Problem is, although I would follow the advice at the top of this talk page, I don't know how to cite these. I've read through multiple citation articles, and they just left me even more confused.
