OFMG, when I read that capcom was producing megaman 9 I thought it would be some kind of 3d crap.
Hats off capcom!
I wonder what the difference in cost of production will be, and I wonder if it'll create a new trend of "retro-makes", if it's economically viable it will.
Yes the Megaman 7 is a pc doujin game, as the install does not run in wine I haven't been able to test it yet.
Going back to the topic:
There's an issue here with "best graphics ever game" NES games due to the limited hardware of the console used several helper chips (called mappers) they would offer extra memory,memory operations, sound chanels whatever.
Early NES games like Super Mario Bros did not use any mapper at all, others like Castlevania 3 (japanese version only) or Llagrange point, added an extra sound chip.
The point it's not fair to compare then all in the same category as they do not use all the same hardware.
