Fucking spoilers in the OP man. I didn't know X could throw Hadokens!

lol I have always wondered if someone ever discovered this secret on their own without looking at a magazine. My guess is no seeing how ridiculously obtuse to find it is.

 

[MisterLuffy]

I beat this game when my brother bought it on snes recently. I was like, "okay this time I'm going to beat it" and I did. Then I went on to X2 and X3, and finished them. I really loved the first 3 X games.

 

[Hours Left]

I've always wondered why X is so flushed on the US boxart.

 

[Dash Kappei]

Avoid the iOS version AT ALL COSTS

He's embarrased because he saw Spark's Mandrill and it gave him a Boomer Kuwanger.

 

[rockmanjoe]

Best game ever.

Launch Octopus is getting awfully close with those tentacles.

 

[WrenchNinja]

Highway Stage is the best stage music, second is Storm Eagle.

Best track is Variable X.

Best vid ever, explains the difference between Mega Man classic and Mega man X

Pretty good.

Mega Man X is a great game.

Avoid the iOS version AT ALL COSTS

Why?

 

[linkboy]

Pretty good.

Mega Man X is a great game.



Why?

That's why. It totally ruins everything that made the original game so great in the first place.

Not to mention it controls like shit.

Ouch. Few games am I willing to call complete garbage based on stills alone, but this is certainly one of them. It just straight up hurts my feelings as a Megaman fan.

This makes it even better

The game makes you load portions of each map you play through, with jarring black-screen transitions. Those in-level loading times were never required on the SNES, so it’s inexcusable to include them on the iPhone version.
The other major offense of the iOS version of MMX is the ability to purchase upgrades like “all weapons” or “all health boosts” with real money instead of making the player unlock it by completing the game the proper way. Way to cheapen the experience even more, Capcom.

[Lumpy Onion]

Oh wow, that's even worse than I imagined it was. WTF were they thinking with that release?! I'd imagine it would be hard to find someone who would defend that as being anything but pure trash.

Crap...here's vi8deo of it.

CHEATS -- > Auto-fire!? Seriously!?

 

[Imm0rt4l]

One of my favorite games of all time. The OST is Godlike.

 

[Soul Beat]

Just beat it a while ago. It took me longer than I expected. I'm getting rusty.

Highway Stage is the best stage music, second is Storm Eagle.

Best track is Variable X.

This man knows what's up!

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Yep.

Still one of the best games ever.

 

[DeSo]

Still one of the best games ever.

Seriously, not even hyperbole. Just so much fun to play, the replayability is through the roof. One of the best soundtracks out there too. (not hyperbole either) My fave track always and forever. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ljiZ1mw_aU

 

[4lejandro]

lol, you kids and your Super Nintendo games.

I had the PC version.

I didn't know Mega Man X had ride armors until 2000 goddamn 6.

Fuck my deprived childhood, yo.

I remember seeing the PC Version back in the day bundled with a Gamepad and another game (SFII?) was this the version you owned??

Also I played megaman 1 first on PC, yikes! For some reason Megaman 2 was the one I played on the NES.

Now that I think about it I was originally a PC Gamer (not counting the Atari 2600, and NES that were my older brother's, my first system was the Gameboy), Test Drive 1 and 2 (dat intro soundtrack), Catacomb Abyss, Commander Keen 1 and 2, Knights of the Sky, some F1 Racing game by EA (I think), Elvira (scariest game ever!), Budokan, TMNT (which I thought it was THE SHIT), but way before that I remember playing really archaic versions of Zaxxon, Dig Dug, Missile Command, Pacman 3D (!!!), you could fit like 20 or more on a 5 1/4 floppy!

 

[Bururian]

I want to facepalm so hard.

 

[Soul Beat]

lol Oh, Miiverse.

There was also this one guy who was asking where the oxygen life bar was on Launch Octopus stage.

 

[WrenchNinja]

I want to facepalm so hard.

6 year old me wants to strangle these people

Just beat it a while ago. It took me longer than I expected. I'm getting rusty.

This man knows what's up!

Experimentation: How does it work?

(I can't even sum up how I feel about that picture.)

 

[dmr87]

Mega Man X on a touch device? FML.

This master piece should be played with the best controller ever made when it comes to platformers, i.e the SNES controller.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

iOS version has better graphics.

 

[Tenbatsu]

iOS version has shitty graphics.

Fixed

 

[Azure J]

Highway Stage is the best stage music, second is Storm Eagle.

Best track is Variable X.

Highway Stage > all. Launch Octopus is sleeper God Tier though. Variable X is like theme of my childhood.

Also, I totally relate to that one person who went "who is this girl". For the longest time, I thought Zero was a girl as a kid.

 

[Soul Beat]

I was pretty baffled by this kid.

And then I realized that he just wanted attention. 'Cause there's no way, no way that he is serious about this.

 

[chrono01]

I want to facepalm so hard.

Miiverse, never stop being awesome.

Why can't Mega crawl

Spoiler

walls

?

 

[Videoneon]

This game is so good, I will never get tired of it. Only wish you started with the Dash upgrade. Boomer Kuwanger, Stage Select 1, Spark Mandrill and Sigma Stage 1 are my favorite BGMs.

I want to facepalm so hard.

This is awesome. I salute our up and coming Mega Man fans for their....valor.

 

[Mileena]

You misspelled Mage Man in the title

 

[Bronetta]

I hate to be that guy but Maverick Hunter X is $10 on PSN. $5 wasn't enough for a 20 year old game... seriously Capcom?

 

[Bururian]

It's completely re-done in 3D, with all the in stage items shuffled around and a new mode with animated cut scenes and a OVA included on the UMD. $10 is more than worth it.

 

[Hours Left]

This is funny and kinda sad at the same time.

No more passwords guys...

 

[Fandangox]

Got the Super Ghost & Goblins/Megaman X Deal. Since I never played Super Ghost and Goblins, might as well.

Edit: Is the eShop being really slow or is it just me?

 

[MisterLuffy]

I don't know what to say, but these are hilarious.

I was commenting on the eShop release and how Maverick Hunter X is an infinitely better deal for $2 more (even less than $2 rather since PSN doesn't charge tax)

[ZeroCDR]

I'm loving this.

Be that as it may, Those who own a Wii U, and those who own a PS3 probably don't cross over as much as one might think.

So either or, they are both okay deals, considering a cart of MMX usually goes for more in a lot of cases.

I got my version of Maverick Hunter on PSN when it was on sale for $5.

I got that MMPU/MHX combo pack from Gamestop a few years back. $7 for each isn't a bad deal at all.

 

[CriterionDog]

Is it just me or does the framerate dip a lot, especially when charging your buster, shooting as you jump off a wall and hit a moving enemy? (at the spark mandrill miniboss)

 

[Sanic]

Awful frame rate destroys the playability of some sections.

I've beaten the first four robot masters. This'll definitely be a tough finish for me.

 

[Gbraga]

ridin on cars?

 

[mocolostrocolos]

Europe am cry.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Made me chuckle.

 

[RaidenZR]

Made me chuckle.

Holy shit! haha

Man, miiverse is gold.

 

[AgentOtaku]

COT DAMN Miiverse is the gift that keeps giving LOL

Also, I still haven't bought this only because I'm a bit spoiled by the PS2 version that removed all the slowdown
