Birdman: Kill the dog...
MM7's gameplay isn't any different between versions, so that is odd. Maybe it was a lucky fluke the first time around? Learning to dodge and predict each of Wily's moves (and learning to perfectly avoid all attacks in his initial bouncy form to make sure of full health in second form) really is tough...
They did change some other things though... The ending was altered. I don't think it was censorship so much as poor SNES emulation. It's also an interesting ending showing when Megaman managed to surpass his original programming and freely decide to ignore the Asimov style law that prevents him from killing Wily time and time again.
I guess I'm okay with the decision to go retro for the art style. It won't make it any less serious than the old NES games were. Certainly it's better than Megaman Powered Up (seriously, I hated the art direction that remake went with, though not nearly as much as I hated "Bomberman Zero").

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
